Large and lively community local in a traditional saloon bar style - re-opened in 2025 after a brief closure, a significant refurbishment and a change of name. With a friendly welcome, several TV screens, pool table, dart board, juke box and fruit machines, this is one of few pubs left in St Albans that focus on the drinker and shun the food trade. The building is Edwardian with a later extension and internally it is decorated with photographs of old St Albans. There is a small patio at the rear for outdoor drinking in warmer weather. Located next to a large Morrisons supermarket, the pub is handy for a quick pint while waiting for a bus from the well-served stop just outside.
