    I used to frequent this pub years ago, It now looks incredible, The roof lantern (is that what they're called?) lets natural light in, there is loads of outdoor space front and rear.Its dark interior very chic .I was there on a lunchtime, sat inside and had Mediterranean vegetables on toasted sourdough- delicious- with a bottle of Corona, although an amazing selection of craft beers was available.The barman was friendly and attentive. I will definitely return, The live bands Friday and Saturday look like it would be a great night.Highly recommended.

    Had the best experience at The Black Lion West Hampstead. Amazing atmosphere and what a lovely staff ! Grab a seat in the back garden on a sunny day or enjoy the live music every Friday & Saturday. They host Rockeoke on Wednesdays with a live band if you fancy singing for an audience and don’t forget to bring your mates for the Sunday Quiz. If you are into sports etc they are also showing all games. Great selection of wines and beers and wonderful cocktails. On top of that they now have a new menu and wow wow wow, can’t recomend enough. The chefs really know what they’re doing + good vegan options. Do not miss out on this place !!!
