The Flask, Highgate, N6

David Walton left this review about The Flask

Visited 22/12/25. Visited previously 05/10/20.

Cask offer from five handpumps was ESB, Hophead, L Pride, London Porter and guest Gold from the Salcombe Brewing Co. Keg offering was Asahi, Rebel IPA from Tiny Rebel, Peroni, Frontier lager, Neck Oil, the Amelia Mosaic Pale Ale from the Park Brewery, Amstel, Guinness, Lucky Saint, and Cornish Orchards Dry cider.

There is extensive seating out the front in the courtyard area, including some covered seating. Inside this Fullers establishment it is a bit of a maze, but the important part is the bar counter is to the left of the entrance, up a couple of steps. The bar area is quite small, bare boarded like the rest of the venue, standing space at the bar counter and a tall table with stools opposite and a regular table with regular chairs to the side thereof. The open kitchen is over to the side of the bar counter. Returning from the bar area there is a seating area including a leather banquette on the far wall over on the left-hand side and whilst not clear if for drinkers or diners, it was occupied by families on my visit so a bit manic to try as a seating area when I got fed up of standing at the bar counter. The area immediately inside the entrance settled as my seating area for my pint of a decent L Pride, real fire roaring away and tables with leather benches to sit three either side but occupied by just me for my short stay plus a couple of other unoccupied smaller tables. To the right of the entrance and a partition were several other rooms and nooks and crannies, including some interesting and secluded drinking ledges, but this was the area that was most rammed by families and diners on my visit. Very characterful venue.
