Large, lively and welcoming community local in a traditional saloon bar style - re-opened in 2025 after a brief closure, a significant refurbishment and a change of name. With several TV screens, a pool table (which is free on Mondays), dart boards, juke box and fruit machines, this is one of few pubs left in St Albans that focus on the drinker and shun the food trade. The building is Edwardian with a later extension and internally it is decorated stylishly including many photographs of old St Albans. There is a small patio at the rear for outdoor drinking in warmer weather, complete with an exterior TV screen for sports matches. The pub is keen to stress its dog-friendliness and resident dog Ted has his own Instagram account! Located next to a large Morrisons supermarket, the pub is also handy for a quick pint while waiting for a bus from the well-served stop just outside.
