Carlton Lounge, Kingsbury, NW9

Visited 23/04/25 No cask. Keg offering of Cobra, Fosters, Carlsberg, Guinness, Somersby cider, Peroni, Estrella and Sapporo. This is a large Indian restaurant with a bar area directly on entering the venue, and which has a car parking area out the front. You can readily walk in here for just a beer so a valid venue on the site. The bar counter is against the rear wall and the colour scheme here is black wood with glitzy lighting. There is some turquoise fabric sofas either side of the entrance with bucket or regular fabric armchairs and low round marble tables. There is another black marble table with four velvet armchairs directly in front of the bar servery, and the venue is black wood flooring. The dining areas are to the left and right of the bar area and looked plush and had large screens showing the Indian Premier League cricket. Not a destination for a beer unless you are here to eat but I felt very welcomed on my early evening visit as a short stay drinker. The music was rather lively Indian music and I really enjoyed my short stay here, ambiance rather than beer, but I am a sucker for a Sapporo! Curry is needed for Cobra.
