| New Manageress in tow: German bird. Doesn't seem to have made much difference yet, other than clutter up the bar with yet more bloody dining tables. ( bit like shifting the deck chairs on the Titanic). Previous manageress (English bird) gone to take over the Roebuck, which will be getting the usual Young's makeover shortly. Ho-hum. Painting by numbers I call it. foghorn - 30 Oct 2008 15:10 |
| This is still a lovely pub - the Victorian panels are a work of art – but the modern high table in the front window is awful. This front bar used to be so cosy, now its big table often has a 'reserved' sign on it (this is a pub, for god's sake) and it's not a patch on the old, rumpled table and chairs. Sort that out and you're laughing. adelondon - 10 Oct 2008 14:32 |
| Being a dedicated Youngs drinker for many a year, I recently called into an old haunt of mine in Hampstead, namely The Flask. I must say how pleased I am that Youngs have sympathetically restored the place and kept a lot of the character. In the public bar were faces that I recognised from nearly 20 years ago - the old buggers still haven't managed to die yet! The staff and managers were very pleasant when encountered. They obviously love the place - and it shows in their attitude. Ordinary was well kept, and there were a nice selection of whiskies too. The only down side to my visit was the lack of seating at the front of the pub. Could this be the reason that the other pubs in the area were all much busier? On enquiring, I was told that the local authority had requested their removal due to noise pollution complaints from local residents. When you consider that there has been an inn on the site of the Flask for nearly 200 years, would it not come as a shock to those purchasing a property in the area to realise that pubs do sometimes get a bit noisy?!? Perhaps 'Disgruntled of Hampstead' should consider a move somewhere considerably quieter - the Outer Hebrides, perhaps??? This is a charming pub and deserves to be left alone to do what it has done for all these years(and quite successfully, I might add) - serve good beer to the Hampstead locals. Otherwise, you may arrive in Hampstead to see the Flask become yet another estate agents before too long! Now there's a conspiracy theory!... ginsling - 13 Jul 2008 17:50 |
| What a fantastic pub they have kept the atmosphere as well as alot of the old characters that drink and now eat there, The food offer is superb i dont know whether the other people who comented on this pub actualy have been there? As it was a pleasure to be in. Youngsdrinker - 30 May 2008 14:12 |
| The refurb is HORRIBLE. it looks like an Eclipse bar or closer yet - an All Bar One. We still go in here but only on the "old side". The refurb really took away some of the soul of this place. Such a shame as there are very few traditional pubs in the 'hood left (best are The Holly Bush, The Duke and White Bear). kenandrob - 21 Apr 2008 11:27 |
