Friendly and long-established CIU-affiliated social club serving a part of St Albans with few other real ale options. A warm welcome awaits card-carrying CAMRA members who can use the bar facilities as guests. A large function room at the back, complete with a stage, is available for hire. Uniquely in St Albans, the club boasts a bar billiards table, while other entertainment provisions include a pool table, several dart boards and juke box. Unfortunately the snooker hall at the rear is currently out of commission although the club's management aim to refurbish this in the future. Awarded South Herts CAMRA's Club of the Year award on multiple occasions.
