Ye Olde Swiss Cottage, Swiss Cottage, NW3

Quinno _ left this review about Ye Olde Swiss Cottage

A swift revisit as I was on my way back from a bit of local on-site consultancy. Same interior as I found back in 2020 except that the bottles are now super-expensive and the cask OBB has disappeared (which might explain the lack of custom). The barman was friendly enough but it feels like it’s sagging under the nuttiness of Humph. 5.5

Well it certainly looks like a Swiss Chalet which is a reason to visit in itself. Sited directly opposite the Tube station (exit 3), it suffers by having been enveloped by a huge and constantly busy traffic junction so approach is through a subway. A large, light wood, sodium-lit and gently worn interior lies within, with sone homely/twee touches but I always like a carpet, armchairs and curtains combo though surely there’s a missed opportunity to follow the exterior theme a bit more. Apparently there’s an upstairs room and a members bar but both appeared to be out-of-bounds on my visit. Cask OBB available here, though I plumped Oatmeal Stout. I quite enjoyed my half hour here, though my companion took against it. Rated 6.5
