The nearest real ale pub to the sea terminal, The Albert is an unspoilt local with many regulars. It has a traditionally laid out central bar and dark wood panelling, with a pool table in one room and interesting historic pictures of Steampacket boats in the other. Sport on TV is a frequent feature but never loud enough to spoil conversation. The drinks are reasonably priced with resident beers mostly from local breweries Okell's and Bushy's. Lively karaoke on Friday evenings. The Albert is an increasingly rare style of pub, very well maintained throughout, but with wooden flooring and traditional features. It remains popular with all age ranges. The ancient cellars beneath the bar are thought to be some of the oldest surviving structures in Douglas. The pub is one of the earliest openers in Douglas, starting at 10.00am each morning.
