A Grade II listed Young's pub tucked down Flask Walk in Hampstead, rebuilt in 1874 and listed by CAMRA for its historic interior.
The Flask sits on Flask Walk, a narrow lane moments from Hampstead High Street, a Grade II listed pub rebuilt in 1874 and bought by Young's in 1904. CAMRA lists it for its historic interior, with the original front saloon partition still in place.
Come for a Young's ale in a proper Victorian pub close to the Heath. Skip it if you want a modern bar, because the appeal here is the old room and the village setting.
The pub keeps its Victorian bones, including the saloon screen that divides the front rooms, which is why CAMRA lists it as a heritage interior. The front bar is snug, with a larger conservatory and dining area behind.
Tucked on Flask Walk away from the main street, it has the feel of a village local, busy with Hampstead regulars and walkers.
As a Young's house, the order is a pint of Young's ale, with pints around six and a half pounds. The cask range is the pub's standard suit.
There is pub food behind the bar in the conservatory if you want to stay, but the front saloon is the seat for a quiet pint among the Victorian fittings.
The crowd is Hampstead locals, Heath walkers, and visitors drawn by the historic interior, an older and relaxed set rather than a young night-out crowd.
