The Pitch
The Black Heart holds down a corner of Greenland Place, steps from Camden Town station, and it makes no secret of what it is. Walls painted black, fairy lights in the gloom, and music artwork everywhere. DesignMyNight calls it a much-loved alternative venue with a lively pub downstairs and concerts upstairs.
This is a rock and metal pub first and a gig venue second, and it does both well. Acts like Orange Goblin and Conan have played the upstairs room. Come for a loud night, a deep beer list, and a crowd that takes its music seriously. Skip it if you want a quiet cocktail.
