Good Beer Guide pub in Hampstead.

Note: The current landlord of the Duke of Hamilton is leaving at the end of January 2011. The new owner will be refurbishing the place for a reopening due on 1 March 2011.

Inside, the decor is traditional photo, with a worn patterned carpet on the floor, patterned upholstered banquettes, velvet curtains with pelmets and tiebacks, and a stained-glass gantry above the bar. The only incongruous note is the large flatscreen mounted near the ceiling in one corner. There's patio seating out the front, and a basement bar available for hire.

bob visited on a Thursday evening in February 2008. Sharps Own was £2.40/pint, and they also had Gales Swing Low, London Pride, ESB, and Old Rosie on tap. No evidence of food.

Kake, Ewan, Sarah, and claud visited on a Thursday evening in September 2009; this time the ale options were ESB, London Pride, Chiswick, and Meantime LPA, while the cider was Millwhites. On tap (i.e. non-handpull) they had Honeydew, Licher Weizen (£1.75/half), Bitburger, and Meantime London Stout. Can't remember if there was music playing, but at least the flatscreen was switched off.

There was no evidence of food on either of our visits, but a visitor called Ash told us in July 2008 that hog roasts are held outside in the summer. Ash also mentioned that there's a large selection of bottled beers and whisky, with large single malts at £4 (as of July 2008).

Accessibility: Several steps up to get in.
