I drink in the Good Mixer, Camden
A pub famous for being the place where the likes of Suede, Blur and Oasis drank during the heady days of Britpop, and now blatantly just trading on its former glories, though you do still see the occasional celeb in there. I've drunk next to Rhys Ifans, Finlay Quaye (barred for life now), Liam Gallagher, Graham Coxon, Kelly Osborne, Kate Moss...and Amy Winehouse. Now I had no idea who she was (this was just as she was getting big, but before her every fart was covered by the tabloids), but I'd gone there with my neighbours who were awestruck to be sharing a pub with her.
"It's Amy Winehouse!" they whispered ferociously.
"Where?" I replied in perhaps too loud a voice. "Behind that pissed-up girl?"
"That pissed-up girl *is* Amy Winehouse!" they hissed back.
It was only then I realised I'd seen that pissed-up girl in there loads of times, always pissed and usually causing trouble.

About a year later my ex tried to get in her car, but that's another story.

My GM days were in between...
... post-Britpop but before Winehouse.

Used to spend a lot of time in there though playing pool with my mate who used to supply remix CDs to a lot of the stalls round the market. Some bloke slapped my wife on the arse there once and one of the guys we knew (who lived next door at Arlington House) offered to teach him a lesson (he would have, too, we had to tell him it was okay). Happy days.

hah!
My house mate once saw her getting caught trying to shoplift some voddy from the off licence next to Quinn's. She's classy.

Sounds like there's more to tell...
What did Finley Quaye do to get barred for life?
