The Bull & Gate pub on Kentish Town Road is the perfect place to grab a pint and some decent food. It's popular with gig goers in the evening as it sits almost next door to the Kentish town O2 Forum, but it's also great just to stop in for the ambience.
The front section of the venue is a classic wood and glass pub, but the back section is a tastefully decorated dining area which was a performance venue in a past life. (Nirvana once played there).
There's also a function room available to hire upstairs and while we're name dropping we can mention that Taylor Swift filmed a music video here before visiting the nearby Kebab shop on her way home (As you do).
This is a great pub, located just around the corner from Kentish Town tube station and well worth a visit for the Sunday roast alone!
