Philomena's Cafe - Camden

Vast selection of drinks, many TV screens, amicable service. Its a great bar with lots of seating outside, on a sunny day its a perfect spot for a beer.

Huge cockroach on the bar. Plus the venue stank. We walked straight out. So there isn't really much more to say.

Fantastic pub! Went for full Irish breakfast (x6) and stayed to watch the football. Service excellent, Guinness like Temple Bar and fantastic atmosphere! Friendly staff too highly recommended!

Philomena's Irish Sports Bar Kitchen in Covent Garden allegedly an Irish Bar, the hint is in the name They had the Everton game on and would not change to the 6 Nations Rugby game, Wales v Ireland until the football was over. Three Tv s showing the Everton game all 3 within less than 5 metres of each other and they refused to change to the rugby. So we missed the first 10 minutes of the Irish game. Please save me from the excuses, staff could not be bothered to sort it out, could have simply organised it so we could have enjoyed a competition that comes once a year but no, couple with the fact that they played music most of the time it’s says it’s a sports bar , it advertises the 6 Nations , its an Irish Bar so show the Irish match Show the sports that it advertises including the build up up and the half time analysis, people have travelled some a long way to enjoy the game with fellow supporters. Please no excuses and say the match was on 2 or 3 otherTVs The right hand side needs TVs too. Customers who wanted to watch the Everton game, tell them its only showing on one TV all others will show the rugby match , not that difficult or avoid the whole debate and don't show other sports until after the Irish game If the English game was on at the same time wondered what would have happened ? Do you think Irish supporters would have objected , dont think so. Simply inform everyone that the match is on at the scheduled time so any other sports take 2nd priority. So I would strongly recommend to give the ‘Irish Sports’ bar a width berth and head either across the road, big pub showing rugby or the Alexander in Clapham. Blue Posts bar Rupert St. Need to find another Irish Bar who show their respect to the fans and not their pockets. Don’t waste your money everyone works hard for their £s on a bar that doesn’t care or deliver on its promise.

Do not visit this pub to watch the Six Nations Rugby. They falsely advertise pre-match essential fan viewing with football on silent, but in reality, they play loud, poor-quality music and show the matches on inadequate screens. The ladies' toilets are filthy and there are only two despite the pub making over £399k in a day. It is a dirty pub masquerading as a sports bar and should be closed for health and safety concerns. Few pubs show the rugby pre-match, causing issues for patrons who came to watch the sport they intended. Rename this pub "Dirty Nelly's."
