A refreshingly traditional and friendly alternative to the otherwise identikit North West London gastropub experience. The occasional prescence of a council estate habitue - avec chien - adding a delightful ingredient of authenticity.

I went here a few weeks ago on a Wednesday night. very chilled atmosphere, not that busy. Staff were really friendly. Food was excellent and very reasonably priced. Nice unpretentious boozer.
|
Lovely boozer; mellow pub-ish decor, pleasant staff, food smelt lovely and the cat is gorgeous.
|
Quite smartly done out place, bigger than it first appears as it continues through the back into a medium-sized beer garden, complete with attractive tree and gas heater. On my visit, ales on offer were the ubiquitous GK IPA and Bombardier, which seemed in reasonable nick. Mostly a late twenties-early thirties crowd.

This pub is my local. Many friends come and visit me because they like the pub.
But have to agree it's a bit pricey and the quality of food fluctuates as mentioned in other reviews. Sunday roasts can be a bit stingy on the meat and roast pots and overdone with mixed veg.
Garden and pub cat add nice relaxed atmosphere.

Very nice pub, looks good and the garden is great in summer. Agree about the the food and the staff being hit and miss. My main gripe is how long the food can take it can take. Good beer though.

lovely atmosphere - real mix of people - food very good although chips a bit pricey! bar staff occasionally lovely occasionally surly - perhaps severe PMT?!!

Nice pub for a quiet evening. Great beer garden and good no-smoking area. We've given up eating there as the food is very 'hit and miss' but they serve IPA.

Super pub! Enjoyable times casn be spent at all times of the year in this pub. In summer you can relax in the beer garden or on the strretside tables and in winter in front of the fire with a glass of mulled wine. Food good, howver a little costly

The Albert has been our local for the past 10 years, but we stopped patronising it earlier this year as the food became very dodgy!. But, pleased to say that things have picked up markedly in the last two months, so we are happy to return!

Yes, the garden is a great place to drink. Found the food to be very good. Location near the park makes it a convenient place for a weekend lunch.
|
The summer brings out the best in this beautiful little pub, as the garden is surprisingly large and very pleasant. The beers are good but the food is restaurant priced and moderate pub standard.
|
Probably the best pub in Primrose Hill, IMHO. Green King Ales and the standard largers. Wouldn't bother with the food though. Excellent beer garden and nice friendly staff.
|
For five years this was my local pub and I loved it. Cosy and welcoming in the winter, delightful beeer garden in the summer (sit under the apple tree for a game of apple Russian Roulette - whos head will the next one fall on?).
Food quite nice but pretty expensive.
|
A really nice traditional pub with an open fire in the winter and a big garden for the summer. Good selection of beers and really nice home made food. In the winter, they run a quiz night every Tuesday which is always good fun. There is also a non-smoking section.

a traditional-looking pub interior where people who are very much pup pub people, and people who are more trendy-bar hoxton, shoreditch, islingtonian types can both feel happy being in . couple of beers on hand-pump, not especially expensive for the area . you may or may not choose to return, but you won't leave thinking ' i wish that i'd gone elsewhere '.
