I'm terribly disapointed with The Underworld.

It used to be a really good place for you to chill with friends and listen to good music, but now they are playing Robbie Williams, Girls Aloud and some other "great bands" my advice is do not go to this place!

Unless you are thinking of killing yourself

I have never had a bad night out here.

Although it may not be the most stylish or trendy club you will ever go to, the drinks are reasonably priced, the staff are friendly and efficient and the music is almost always bang on perfect.

Whether you want to play air guitar after one too many beers or just dance the night away, you will not find a better club in London.

I was very dissappointed with Underworld. Maybe it was just the DJ who was on last night or maybe Saturday night is just not a good time to go but the music was boring. The thought they were supposed to place rock and metal so I was expecting headbangers like Green Day, Blink 182, Blur, Good Charlotte -maybe even something heavier - Metallica? but most of what was played was 'hippy' music that you couldn't really dance to.

There was not interaction between DJ and clubbers and no climax to end with. The songs didn't fade into each other well and with a just overall not what I would have expected from such a well-known club which I though had quite a good name. Won't be going back there in a hurry.

You need to go when live bands are playing, not a shitty DJ.Go there on a week day. The Underworld has it's name for it's live acts, not the nights they use to fill the rest of the working week.Besides, you shouldn't base a club purely on the music. The service is excellent and the drinks are very reasonably priced.

Used to be my favourite place for very long nights (Thu).
Fantastic mix: music in your face, interesting people and a whole lot of Rosie.
Drink's situation a bit slow. Should go there more often, really.
Not too far away from the tube. It's always worth for great live acts. Check it out!

Probably the most rock-solid venue in North London or at least one of them. Decent mix of music, DJ's, clientelle and right by Camden tube. The Bouncers aren't complete smegs and the staff are alright, though most of them are geeky guys so it helps if you've got a lass to get the drinks in at the bar or you could be waiting a while!

Sure there are better places in town but the atmosphere is good, the drinks are reasonable and it's neither a meat-factory nor a place for people to go to dance around their handbags

If you like fairly alternative (sat) or 'classic' disco music (fri) then it's worth checking out

The Underworld is a good back-up club. It won't let you down if you're looking for somewhere cheap, fun and if you're unsure where to go in Camden.

The Underworld plays commercial rock music all night and the cloakroom staff are funny too. It's got my approval.

I went to Kung Fu at The Underworld last week with a friend of mine whilst visiting Camden. We'd heard of this legendary club and we can now see why it is so well known.



The Underworld is right opposite Camden Town tube so it was really handy and the dingy grubbiness just adds to the night. There was a thick, sticky atmosphere here and the night was awesome. A ranking of 5 seems inadequate!
