Cute place in Hampstead! We had just gotten off of a 10 hour flight and was recommended this place by our friend. Got seated quickly and ordered. I got the fried chicken with buffalo sauce on the side. It was good! A bit small for the price but filling. Our waiter was nice. Cute spot. read more

Was walking around with friends one of the days and spotted this place and had decided to come back to it another time. And come back we did for Sunday brunch. After being poorly for over 5 days, I had to skip the bottomless Sunday brunch which allows you to drink as much for just £18 (select drinks). The breakfast is supremely unhealthy, I mean I absolutely loved it but this will not be a regular place. I am more of a poached egg on granary roast sort of girl, which most of the times is a luxury. There options are plenty many however they do only waffles (both sweet and savoury) and no toast. I swapped the scrambled egg with poached egg and added an avocado as an extra. My breakfast was therefore, savoury waffles with smoked salmon, cream cheese, poached eggs and crispy capers with extra avocados. I complete devoured my brunch after being hungry for just over 3 hours. The food was great, something different from standard Sunday brunch. However, due to the healthiness quotient, I will not frequent this place and only treat myself maybe once in good few months. The staff were friendly and quick. The general vibe of the place was great. Would highly recommend for anyone to go at least once. read more

When I lived in West Hampstead, The Gallery was our regular hangout and meet-up place. It's the quintessential neighbourhood bar. Definitely more of a bar than a pub, there are a handful of wooden tables and chairs downstairs, with a large sofa corner on a landing halfway up the stairs, and a few leather sofas and stools around some low tables on a raised section at the top, overlooking the downstairs. In warm weather they open the front windows and put a couple of tables out on the pavement. As the other reviews point out, there are some tasty beers on tap here, including Kirin, Red Stripe, and Erdinger. They'll often have something a bit more unusual too: I remember banana beer for a while. No ales on tap, unfortunately. Mixed drinks are easily had, and they have a happy hour between 5 and 7pm most days. Food is good, although I rarely had more than bar snacks. Downstairs are several tables and a dining area, which I think only gets service in the evenings. It's very popular in the neighbourhood, and will fill up with a young, good-looking crowd quickly every weekend night. Sunny weekend afternoon. In 2005, The Gallery came in at second place in the best local bar category for the LBC/Independent Living London Awards. I'm not sure if it's continued to place since, or if those awards are still even held, but they made a big deal of it at the time. The staff there are very friendly, and as regulars we got to be quite chatty with them. read more

A pretty cool spot, tucked away on a side street but very close to the station. I wanted to eat more than drink, so I was glad to see home-baked desserts on the menu. I was really impressed with the rustic apple pie served with whisky custard. Just perfect. We also got some fries to snack on, and they were a bit skinny for my taste, but the boy loved them, so that's good! read more

Popped in one evening for a pint and ended up having a meal. I am not a huge fan of pub faire, but this place had a nice fresh menu and you could tell that it rotated with the seasons! The barmen were very attentive and made me want to become a bit of a regular. read more

Shhhhh.... A nice pub for all occasions this end of west end lane, well ok maybe not for watching football, but you have other pubs for that and this ain't that kind of pub. Great to chill in during the day, especially in the summer when they open their big windows or if you can find some space on the balcony. Not a bad menu either for a bite to eat. There's also a big space in the basement. Decent tunes and bar staff so not a bad place for some proper drinks with friends either at night. read more

Surprisingly big inside, with a few seats uptairs on the balcony and a lot of comfy seats in the basement,plus the large ground floor. Good relaxing atmosphere, good selection on tap,plus reasonably priced vino. I also had the mint burger with sweet potato fries which unlike the one's i try and make were lovely. Definitely worth popping in if you're in the area. read more

I like this place, bit of a regular and it never seems to let me down. Location might suggest it to be slightly up itself (if you catch my drift) Surrounded by expensive restaurants this little diamond continues to please. Menu is changed on a regular basis (tonight I had chicken and mushroom pie with mash and veg - very good!) and the chef even asked me what I thought as he was trying out this particular dish. Always greeted with a smile by the bar staff. Enough room to spread out whether your upstairs or down and easy to relax. Afternoons can be spent relaxing on a sofa with board games and a hot drink, whilst it gets more lively in the evening and is always buzzing. No doubt my favourite bar in the locality! read more

Great staff, great Estrella on tap and you need, need, to have the minted lamb burger with the sweet potato fries, succulent, huge and easily the best combination of tastes I've had in a burger. Thoroughly recommended. read more

This is a really good place to get a drink, though I haven't had any food here so I can't speak to that. The vibe is relaxed, but they play good music and a fair volume at night. I recommend the boilermakers, of which they have four different beer and whisky pairings. read more

The perfect neighbourhood bar with great atmosphere, good food and drink. Staff are a bit hit and miss - I have experienced both extremes from super-friendly and efficient to ignorant bordering on rude. Still, I will always come back for more as it's just a great place overall. A bit too noisy at times which is a shame - not necessarily recommended for intimate dates. read more

Solid food and beers in a cozy pub ambience. I ordered a golden ale, which I really liked. My bf's ale (a different kind) was unique and good as well. On my second visit, some of my friends ordered fish and chips, which was well presented and tasty. In general, you can't really go wrong with any choice. Space is not too big but just right for a neighbourhood like Pimlico. They seemed to have upstairs as well which I'd like to try next time. Service is generally good -- nothing too special nor off. You have to order and pay at the bar in advance, so don't go if you're expecting service at the table. I think this place will easily become my go-to pub, especially given its convenient location right across the tube station. read more

I booked a table but unfortunately upon arrival, they could not find the booking details. As the bar was busy, they only had space in the basement which was a quirky little area but had an unpleasant smell of toilet which other customers complained about too.The staff down here were much friendlier as I found the staff upstairs looked bored and uninterested. the food at this venue comprised of small plates, tapas style dishes and each plate was delicious. The Bourbon BBQ squid and the wolfpack fries were delicious! I would recommend this venue, just wish the staff were a little friendlier! read more

Having a drink with my brother @thegallerynw6 in West Hampstead each and every time I visit my family in London has become a 'tradition'. A chance for us to catch up and say bye bye for now! Needless to say that it is with fondness that I remember those nights sitting by the bar. Extremely sad that earlier tonight was not the case. Even though we had a fantastic time the bouncer had completely spoiled it for us. After wearing my hoody, my leather jacket, and taking my @rains backpack from the floor next to the bar stool, and once I left the premises of @thegallerynw6 the bouncer follows me asking me to prove that the backpack is mine. Thinking that he was joking I smiled and told him "Of course it's my backpack, it's been my only constant companion for years now." When I realized that he was not making a joke, I asked him if someone had complained that I stole their backpack. To my surprise he tells me that not only no one had complained, but that it was just that my @rains backpack looked like a woman's bag. I was completely shocked by his response! Even if my choice would have been to carry a woman's bag this should not have been the reason to accuse someone for theft unless they have evidence or a legitimate reason to investigate. Having lived in London for seven years as a student, and the countless trips I made as a teenager for piano lessons, this unfortunate occasion @thegallerynw6 even though has offended me greatly, will certainly not diminish the love I have for this great city of @london4all! read more

Always a great night at the gallery, a date, catch up with an old friend or a birthday drinks session with 20 mates it is always a good night! The staff can sometimes be a bit rude but the atmosphere in general and worth the occasional rudeness! Food is great too! read more

Very solid place for evening drinks. Begins to get busy around 5. Basement is really cozy and usually not many people - perfect for a big group to chill on comfy leather couches. Service is great, bartenders are friendly. Food is better than typical pub fair. Drinks can get a bit pricey. Have wifi and it's not busy for lunch so good to work during the day and nobody's bothered. Great neighbourhood pub. read more

This certainly was my Yelp find of 2014 (thanks Yelpers!). Looking for a place in W. Hampstead to grab a drink with a friend your reviews convinced me I should check out The Gallery, and you didn't disappoint. As the name suggests, the place has a double height ceiling with a gallery overlooking the bar area. This gives it a nice lofty feeling when you're at the bar. And at the gallery you can withdraw with your date (or a group of friends) for a more intimate lounge experience. There is also a downstairs section which has been empty every time I've been there but I guess it could make a great venue for a larger group. But why would you want to be in the basement when the upstairs is so cool. I wish there were more places like this dotted around London. read more

very nice bar/pub - excellent selection of (craft) beers and good music, although it can be a bit noisy at times. Food is quite good for a bar - some nice nibbles and sharers - but for dinner you'll prob find better options around. very nice staff read more

Late xmas drinks and had fun playing scrabble in the dungeon. Our bar hostess Jo was beautifully amazing and served up our drinks on the spot read more

Very tasty food. bar serves small plates, tapas style dishes. I totally recommend the sharing fried and the BBQ bourbon squid; delicious! Staff upstairs appeared quite miserable but downstairs service was great. Quirky little venue. read more

My new favourite place. A cosy bar, unpretentious, great section upstairs in the gallery (hence the name...) for private parties, tasty nibbles and more substantial meals, everyone is nice and always smiling. read more

The Gallery's sometimes a victim of its own success. The decent, well-priced food, interesting selection of lagers, good choice of ciders (Aspall's - which is always a good sign), and location close to West Hampstead tube mean it is often rammed to bursting point. In that sense, it's a shame the downstairs bar area is not better utilised (especially in winter) as it could really help to relieve some of the pressure upstairs and make going in more attractive. The comedy and quiz nights they host are always good fun and good value. Apart from how busy it gets the other downsides are the price (normally a bit more than other bars in the area) and the Friday and Saturday night clientele, which is sometimes a bit too cool for school. Best time to visit is probably a lazy Sunday afternoon pint in the summer when they have the front windows open and cricket on the big screen. read more

This place is ACE. It works for a quick post-work drink, as a starting point to greater things on a night out, as an all-night hangout catching up with friends or as a perfect place to take a date. Cosy in the winter, open and breezy in the summer. The atmosphere is comfortable and unpretentious and although the drinks are a bit pricey, I'd rather pay West Hampstead prices for my gin and tonic here than anywhere else the main street has to offer. Oh and 2 for 1 cocktails on a Thursday... can't say fairer than that. read more

My favourite local. Friendly staff (including Caesar the Doorman!) and good beer. They have Kirin Ichiban which is a personal favourite. Music at the weekends is always feel good singalong stuff. Great after a hard week. read more

Top Bar! Went in for a night cap on our way home yesterday. Loved the choice of music so much it made me want to stay out for another!

Small cosy tables tucked away in corners, big comfy sofas in a lounge setting basement, great buzzy atmosphere on the ground floor, Amstel and Red Stripe on tap, good food - what more could you want from a local pub? read more
