A stone's throw from St Albans City Station and an ideal waiting room for delayed rail travellers, The Horn is also one of Hertfordshire's most celebrated live music venues, playing host to gigs at least six nights a week. The performance room at the back of the pub showcases the best of local talent, as well as a wealth of touring original acts, cover and tribute bands - see www.thehorn.co.uk for full listings. Photographs of some of the more famous previous acts to have played the venue adorn the walls. There are also regular events including a Sunday afternoon open mic and a quiz night every Monday. While an admission fee is payable for some gigs, entrance to the bar area is always free for drinkers, and it features a pool table and juke box. A choice of two or three cask beers is typically available and a food menu including burgers, hot dogs and pizzas is also served.
