The Stag, on Fleet Road, Hampstead, will open to patrons again on Thursday, January 22, from 11am.
The “classic British pub,” which describes the revamp as a “glow-up,” has refreshed its interior and exterior areas, bringing a handful of new features.
These include an entire floor dedicated to house parties, a significant upgrade to the garden, a rotating line-up of craft beers on tap, and a new martini menu that changes with the seasons.
The interior retains its original features, including mounted stags, ornamental mirrors, and open fireplaces.
Outside, the beer garden has also had a makeover, boasting a new bar, outdoor screens for future sporting events, and a new Garden Room.
This area, which looks to be another party hotspot, has cobblestone floors, a fireplace, and retractable awnings.
Not only will the bar serve a selection of craft beers, including five rotating taps from breweries like Pretty Decent Beer, Verdant, and Deya, but it will also serve a menu of seven martini cocktails, which will change with the season.
Classic beers such as Guinness, Asahi, and Modelo will also remain available to patrons.
The food menu serves pub classics, with a tear-and-share “Stag Bag” (a nod to the Irish spice bag), rotisserie chicken dishes, and Stag chicken wings.
Lunchtime options include toasties, while Sundays will see roasts served at the venue.
On the first floor is the private event space called ‘Upstairs at The Stag’.
It comprises three connected spaces: a ‘kitchen’ area, a ‘living room’, and a private chequerboard.
The kitchen area features a vintage fridge and butcher’s block for food and drink packages.
The living room serves as a “cosy” area for guests to catch up, while the private chequerboard area provides a space for guests to mingle in the fresh air.
The upstairs section comes with its own beer taps.
The Stag says the space is supposed to feel like “hosting a house party without any of the clean-up.”
The Stag, located at 67 Fleet Road, NW3 2QU, is set to reacquaint itself with the public on January 22.
The pub’s new opening hours will be Monday to Thursday from 11am to 11.30pm, extending till 12.30am on Fridays and Saturdays.
On Sundays, the Stag will close at 11pm.
