A city centre pub with a lively, youthful vibe. The traditional interior is complemented by an impressive garden featuring heated beach huts and a garden room called The Forge which is available for hire for special occasions. Dogs and families are welcome until 8pm, after which the pub has an over-21s only policy. Live music on Saturdays, quiz on Wednesdays and bingo on Fridays. Disabled access for those in wheelchairs is limited to the main bar. A ramp can be provided on request to access the main entrance and there is a key-operated disabled toilet on this level. Once one of St Albans' most celebrated cask ale establishments, regrettably it now sells none.
