More bar/club than pub, apparently a big change since it was the John Duck. Music was too loud to have a conversation even around 3pm, a few hours before the DJ was due, but I guess some people like that. Seem to be sending mixed signals on covid precautions too - various signs around the place saying please sanitise your hands but the dispensers had clearly been removed. To their credit, they have a good drinks selection - they're obviously cocktail-focussed but also have a decent selection of beer/cider kegs on tap compared to most similar bars.
Edit in response to owner: this was not intended to be negative so I'm sorry if it came across that way - it was intended to be more neutral (hence 3/5), so I've added a more positive point as well. I don't think you're being misleading, I just hadn't spent the time looking at your social media posts, and my impression from the information here on Google Maps suggested somewhere a bit more chilled that gets lively in the evening.

Read moreWatched the England match vs Netherlands it was out of this world. I could sit and chill out watching the match on one of the many tv screens in peace or go into the sea of upper class people just out for a great night and a good time who were all animated and loving every second of the night. This pub has BOSE speakers all over the place and they sound brilliant. The DJ was outstanding timing the music perfectly with the atmosphere when England scored etc. The security gaurd who was minding the pub was friendly and looked good too. I asked him for directions to the toilet and he came across as professional with a warm personality who just wanted to help. The everage price of my 4 drinks were £5 a pint. The Camden pale IPA ale (not cask) was worth the price it was tasty 10/10. This pub is outstanding. You will love this pub if you can afford £5 a pint and are looking for somewhere good to host the big...
Read moreI recently had the pleasure of visiting The Drunken Duck, and I must say, it was a fantastic experience. The pub itself has a lively atmosphere, perfect for enjoying a drink with friends. The drinks menu is extensive, offering a wide variety of beers, wines, and cocktails. However, what truly sets The Drunken Duck apart is the exceptional service provided by its staff. I want to give a special shout-out to Oli, who went above and beyond to ensure I had a memorable visit. His friendly demeanor, attentiveness, and genuine care for customer satisfaction were truly impressive. Oli's hard work and dedication to providing excellent service are a credit to The Drunken Duck. I highly recommend this pub to anyone looking for a fun and enjoyable night out with...
