All over
Effortlessly hip bar tucked away in the northern quarter, friendly staff, good music and always something interesting to look at on the walls.

DF's Camden Market. Hang out with the city's goths, punks and art students shopping for obscure mexican music and movies, army surplus and novelty T-shirts.
Saturdays, Buenavista Metro Station
