Where Will You Be Watching the World Cup in Hampstead?

The squad has been chosen, Walcott's been left crying in a corner and it seems that, as ever, the nation is becoming quietly confident. Whether there will be any just reason to be will unfold over the next month and a half, but of course, like all good sport fans, we'll be needing somewhere that provides not only a good view, but a decent supply of beer, and sometimes your front room just won't do...
I'm generally of the impression that Hampstead isn't the best place to watch sports. Pubs are generally a little too snobby (for want of a better word) to become sports pubs and from looking around it doesn't seem that many of them are making much of a fuss about showing the world cup. The only one that I discovered is, would be the The Flask, conveniently situated around the corner from the tube. In this location I imagine it should fill out pretty quickly, especially as it's one of many Young's pubs that are making a fuss about showing the football.
Another of these is The Roebuck down nearer Belsize Park, although I'm personally not the biggest fan of this place and I can't see it being the best venue for watching the World Cup. The good thing about these two places however is that you can reserve an area in advance, so you're guaranteed a decent spot!
Now all I need to do is find somewhere that shows the F1...
