Welcoming, traditional community local, tucked away in a residential area and overseen by friendly landlady Caz. A short stroll from the city centre and handy for the Cathedral and Roman Museum. Open pub fire, wood panelling and pictures of old St Albans give the pub a warm and cosy feel. The pub offers a variety of live music, quiz and entertainment nights.
