Adorned by images of rock royalty throughout, the venue has been systematically designed and painstakingly restored. It retains many of the beautiful and genuine features, including the original stables that once housed the horses that were injured pulling canal barges.Throughout the day Proud Camden is the ideal place to come and relax with your mates. Hot beverages and food are available, and each stable has HD flat screen TVs with Sky Sports and Movie channels. If that doesn't tickle your fancy, we also have a vast selection of DVDs and PS3 video games you can choose from or why not be a rockstar with Xbox Rock Band. Click here for PDF of 7 different stables!The venue is transformed into a live music venue and bar from 7.30pm, with each night hosting the best eclectic music in North London.Known for its commitment to programming the very best live music- Peter Doherty, Dizzee Rascal, The Kooks, Stereophonics, and Johnny Borrell all have played intimate sets. The bar has developed a cult following and become a celebrity hang-out, with regulars Amy Winehouse, Sadie Frost, Carl Barat, and The Arctic Monkeys.Recent performers at the venue have included: Dirty Pretty Things, Lethal Bizzle, The Enemy, Lykke Li, Vivian Girls, Kissy Sell Out, Black Lips, Manchester Orchestra and I Blame Coco with thanks to London' best industry club nights.Proud's new outdoor terraced café also means Proud guests can now escape indoor gig madness to relax and enjoy the sun with drinks and food served all day. Originally an abandoned and dilapidated market shop, the glass-walled space has been redecorated to do justice to the café's epic views of the notorious Camden streets. « less

Staff are lovely - waiters are attentive and fun, and the lost property team were especially helpful afterwards. Great shows, great music, great drinks selection. I love the diversity of stuff that goes on here, night after night. Great job!

Live music, often acoustic but always good. It's a nice place to relax have a drink and take in some great music. We've not been there for an evening yet but maybe next time.

A mini -bus brought her university friends' from the other side of London and after dinner they all went along with other friends' in London to Proud Camden. I booked over the telephone with Chantelle and... More

My first time out in Camden and so glad it was at Proud! Drinks are quite cheap compared to other places I go out to, staff were friendly, crowd was vibrant and the venue was too cool! Couldn't have picked a better place to spend a Wednesday night!

I had a great time, pre-warnings tho the security are not polite, friendly or approachable, the staff are not customer focused and not really helpful, get there early to avoid a 40 min queue, make sure you bring id even if you look 70 years old, long waits at the bar, not a...

Went on a Thursday night - place had more security than Heathrow. Only time I have ever been asked for photo ID to get in - I do not take my passport to go to a gig, I do not want my details recorded. Bottle of Becks costs £4.50, band was late on so we tried to pop over the... More

This is an awesome venue with individual stables to sit in each with their own theme and some with their own poles! If you go by day you can get a seat but there is no vibe, go by night and you'll queue for ages and feel like you're in a meat market. Drinks hugely overpriced for tiny glasses of... More

Hi, Thanks for taking the time to review us – we always like to hear feedback. Glad that you like our venue decor! We do apologise for the long queues and overcrowding you experienced on the night. As you visited us in October 2012 we do feel we have made significant improvements since then, hopefully demonstrated by the more recent... More

Boring. Self-indulgent and expensive. Rubbish. Perhaps attending a second rate dance class with obsequious drama students would be comparable and cheaper. By the way, if you like awful food and 115 pound bottles of vodka this is for you.

Hi, We are really sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your visit to Proud Cabaret and did not raise this with us on the night. We believe that our vodka prices are in line with other restaurants in London, and some bottles you had pre-ordered in advance at a discounted price to this. All of our performers are... More
