Cosy, cottage style pub, close to St Albans City railway station, offering a friendly welcome and attracting a diverse mix of clientele. The recently-improved covered and heated outdoor seating area often hosts music events. As well as its regular range of real ales and craft beers, the pub offers unusual canned and bottled beers and hosts occasional craft beer festivals utilising its outside bar. Major sports fixtures are shown indoors and outdoors (including games on BT Sport). Free juke box on Monday evenings. The pub has an extended licence and is usually the latest pub to admit customers in St Albans on Friday and Saturday nights.
