3 Locks Brewery

Wander down Hawley Wharf and you'll stumble upon this gem of a bar: 3 Locks Brewery. Its orange and monochrome interiors are home to ten taps of fresh, draught beer brewed onsite, plus plenty of wines and spirits. Choose from its signature West Coast IPA, lager or porter and pull up a chair overlooking the canal.

Camden Basement Cocktail Bar may have a pretty self-explanatory name, but there's nothing ordinary about this venue. Step through a discreet doorway on the high street and into the 1920s prohibition era, where you'll find opulent interiors and fantastic drinks. Each of the exclusive areas in this intimate spot are named after iconic figures like Charlie Chaplin, Pablo Picasso, Louis Armstrong, and Pauline Sabin, with bespoke concoctions created from a bring-your-own bottle of your choice and carefully curated small plates up for grabs.
