Why oh why do I bother? I went out of my way to go here on a bright Sunday afternoon about a month ago, only to find, unlike the rest of Hampstead, an empty pub. I was one of four customers. This told me all I needed to know, and I should have left, there and then. Like a fool, I stayed.
The two beers on offer were, you got it, London Pride and Timothy Taylor (yawn). Being Fullers-phobic I ordered a TT which bore a more than passing resemblance to nice warm mug of Heinz Oxtail soup.
Let me tell you this, The Washington is a prime site: a f***ing GOLDMINE going begging. I could make a million a year out of this place, blindfolded and standing on my head whistling Dixie out of my arse. But at the moment it's either some kind of tax-dodge or the owners are planning to knock it down and build a Jewish retirement home.
I can't give it even one point for opening.
Avoid like the plague.

It was very busy in here early Saturday evening and I had to wait a while to be served as the staff had done a disappearing act. Landlord, Malt & Hops and Pride were available along with a large variety of standard and premium lager. A very mixed clientele was present from Primrose Hill Nathans to ex Britannia locals.

I find it hard to get comfortable in here and would rather drink in the Steeles or head up to Hampstead.

Handsome pub, decent beers, could be a real treat. But every time i venture in here the place seems dominated by some of the most pretentious, stuck-up people. Must be the overspill from Primrose Hill, but too many in here are a long way up their own backsides.

shame, but Steele's is just up the road.

Excellent pub, stayed just down the road on a short break to London and couldn't have wanted anything more from a local pub.

Beer excellent and varied - lots of choice on tap, well kept ales, wheat/fruit bars and lagers. Plenty of bottles too.

Food was very tasty and good portion size.

Would recommend to anyone wanting a 'pub' rather than a bar! Monday night was quiz night too :-)
