Lower Red Lion

|
|
Last review made:
"The Lower Red has developed a disappointing attitude problem since the last change of management. The premises are still delightful, and the beer range just as extensive, but service can be slow and surly (I walked out a couple of weeks ago when the I heard the barman use the f-word to some customers), short measures are the rule rather than the e ..."

| Mokoko
Verulam Road
St Albans
(12)
|
|
Last review made:
"The refurbishment was indeed major and the new Mokoko Bar is vastly different to the old Harrow pub. All chrome and cocktails, piped music and subdued lighting, a tad pretentious and unwelcoming. I quite liked the old Harrow, for all it’s drabness, and normally the passing of such a pub would lead to feelings of outrage and sadness. However St Alba ..."

|
|
Last review made:
"If you haven’t been to the Black Lion for a while you won’t recognise it now, I didn’t. It was always more of a hotel with a bar than a pub with accommodation but the bar was very much a traditional pub. Now it is definitely a hotel with a restaurant attached. The bar area is much smaller and reminiscent of a hotel lobby bar and they seem to have g ..."

Last review made:
"This place reinvented itself as a gastropub some time ago and now most of the premises is given over to a dining room. There is still a small bar area which is quite pleasant and they serve local McMullens ales, AK and Country. The AK was well kept and topped up without question.

Last review made:
"Decent location at the top of Holywell Hill where London Rd meets the High Street. You can normally rely on the quality of the real ales in this Wetherspoons and they usually have a good selection. The cheaper JDW prices means it can hold it’s own in the real ale mecca of St Albans.

"Wonderful little place, very much a locals pub given the location but they seemed a friendly bunch. Nice interior with comfortable seating, good décor and prints on the walls. A notice board shows evidence of the community nature of the pub. Three real ales, looks to be mainly GK but judging by the pump clips above the bar they go for some of the u ..."

Last review made:
"Unusually for a Fullers House this is a local style laidback backstreet pub not a brash cavernous place on the high street. Nice friendly atmosphere, comfortable seating, unobtrusive TV and a good outside seating area. The ESB was in good condition but ridiculously expensive, I’d had a few by the time we arrived but I’m sure I got charged more than ..."

|
Last review made:
"This is without a doubt one of the (if not the) loveliest pubs in St. Albans. Not to repeat too much from the other reviewer, but it is true that the beautiful historic building with the exposed beams and brickwork is wonderful, especially as some places these days seem keen to destroy or hide these features in renovations. The collection of real a ..."

Last review made:
"A fine example of an old traditional locals boozer. Very welcoming, good prices, one or two real ales, good conversation and an old school guv’nor. Although it’s on the main London Road it hasn’t got the best location being opposite a petrol station and right next door to a large old cinema building that has been boarded up for years and looks ripe ..."

Last review made:
"Undergoing refurbishment at the moment, the changes so far (more seating, candles, real fire, decent food, better beer selection, loads of magazines to read) work for me. Appears to be struggling to convince some of the local regulars that this is no longer a smokey, big screen, Sky Sports and get plastered kind of place!
Could be one to watch. ..."

"Wow, this place has changed a bit since my last visit. Still a McMullens house but they have gone big time for the gastro pub experience. Structurally it is still the same but there is now more wood furnishings than you’d find in an Ikea showroom. Two cask beer pumps remain one with McMullens County and the other possibly a guest. Whilst you can ge ..."

"Nice laid back atmosphere, Chiswick, Pride and ESB from the Fullers stable all served with efficiency and friendliness. I went in on a Sunday lunchtime and most of the tables had been reserved which is a sign of its popularity. Hear there might be a change of management soon.

Last review made:
"Nice old pub in the historic St. Michaels area of St. Albans. The larger low ceilinged left hand bar is almost entirely given over to diners where a large black dog wanders between the tables delighting the children and no doubt prompting health & safety concerns in some. There is a more traditional pub atmosphere in the smaller right hand bar. The ..."

Last review made:
"The Six Bells is a wonderful looking building and clearly has some age and history to it. It claims to be the only pub within the walls of old Roman Verulamium and an old Roman Bath House was discovered during excavations in the 1970’s. Inside it’s very well presented with a massive open fireplace being a focal point. I generally visit on a Sunday ..."

"My previous visits to this pub have been disappointing but I heard news of a refurb and called in today, not expecting too much. But it is in fact an amazing transformation and has gone markedly up market. The layout is much the same but the school canteen furniture has been replaced by some excellent reproduction furnishings and a plethora of old ..."

Last review made:
"This pub really comes into its own in the Summer months due to the large garden with children’s facilities and a petanqe piste (I think that’s the official term). Plenty of room inside with various seating areas, newspapers available and a dartboard. They pay a lot of attention to their real ales and there are generally 5 or 6 on at any one time th ..."

"Good place to stop off if you are on a crawl of St Albans’ real ale pubs as it is on the route from the Farmers Boy to the Garibaldi/White Lion. They have a good selection of real ales that is changed regularly, but I have always found the pub a bit sterile and the clientele a bit insular for my liking. Has a large beer garden out the back and a fe ..."

Ye Olde Fighting Cocks

|
Last review made:
"Ye Olde Fighting Cocks may or may not be the oldest in Britain but for all the 500 odd years it claims to have been around, those in the 21st Century are surely not it’s finest. Admittedly it was a Sunday afternoon but of the dozen or so staff I spotted milling around most were cooking, delivering food, taking food orders, explaining why the sea ba ..."
