The Flask really is one of my favourite pubs. The selection of drinks is impressive, the staff are friendly and knowledgable, and the pub itself is fantastic. It's got a network of intimate and cosy rooms, which are great for a winter's evening, but it also has a large beer garden for those warm sunny days after you've been walking on the Heath.

The clientele at The Flask is varied, there's a full spectrum: some young-uns mixed amongst senior Highgateans, but it just all works well. It even has a slightly eclectic jazz night on Mondays. Downsides? It can get a bit busy, but that's about it.
