| Good Beer Guide pub in [[Locale Hampstead|Hampstead]]. The management at the Duke of Hamilton changed in early 2011; the pub [http://twitter.com/#!/thebarnsburypub/status/30373489059831809 closed for refurbishment] and reopened on 1 March 2011. |

Inside, the decor is traditional <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/3964457192/ photo]</small>, 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, as well as a fairly sizeable space out the back, and a basement bar is available for hire. |

We haven't visited since the change of management, and so our comments below relate to the old incarnation. |

On [[Ewan]]'s Saturday afternoon visit in June 2011, the place was almost empty, but did not look particularly different from how it was before the change of management. Music was playing very quietly. A poster advertised a poker evening on Wednesday nights (7pm start, £5 buy-in). |

There are six handpulls for ale. On [[Ewan]]'s June 2011 visit, one was off and London Pride was on two of them, with Acorn Simcoe IPA and two Brodies ales (California and London Fields Pale Ale), £3/pint. Some lagers are also available, including Bitburger. Cotswold cider is on tap. |
[[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. |

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). |

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.
