Last time I went on a Saturday, about two years ago, it was a lot more glittery and bleepy than I'd expected and remembered from previous scruffy indie visits.

Can be godawful. Make sure you know whats on before you go, they used to do a fetish night down there.

I'm going to Shake, music looks ok, nothing more.
Is it more a early twenties or late twenties and thirties kind of place?

Well said, that man. Used to be a Good Mixer man, as one of those trying-too-hard Britpoppy teens of the 90s, now enjoying the rather lovely vibe - and busty substances sights - of the Hawley Arms. Just so long as you keep well out of the way of unfunny Boosh muppet Noel Fielding holding court in the ladies' toilets.

Another reason I like it so much is because I saw The Rifles there last year and it was probably the best gig I've ever been to.
Also met Joel the lead singer as well as Tim Lovejoy and rather randomly Steve Lomas ha!
I heard they're knocking it down some time soon as well which is a right shame - its one of my favourite places in London.

I've seen Monochrome Set, A Certain Ratio, DAF, Joy Division, Wire, and Scritti Politti there....a while ago

Blimey NMH, that is a good list of bands, must have been around the mid to late 80's.

I think I may have been at that DAF gig...
Also saw Stiff Little Fingers there in early 79, supported by The Normal (was filmed by Thames TV for a South Bank Show about Rough Trade records), and the Ruts about a year later, just before Malcolm Owen died.
I sure I went there more times than that, but can't remember the others (it was my late teens, so copious alcohol would have clouded the memories...).

Brilliant Venue...if your going on saturday, they usually have quite a good market (records, tshirts....) inside until 4pmish

You may want to check that its still open. I heard a rumour a few weeks back it was meant to be closing due to some works being done at Camden Town station. I haven't been since I heard this but worth checking. Saying that it has meant to be closing down for ages.
As for what its like, it has good nights and bad nights. Downstairs is mainly 70/80/90s pop, cheesy stuff a general mixture. Upstairs is the chav room with all the RnB and garage music. Where all the slappers go basically.
P.s pretty easy to pull there.
