| I had a pleasant day out walking around the shops and visiting the cathedral with the family today and unfortunately this was the only pub that I visited (damn it) as I had the nippers in tow. It’s a Slug and Lettuce with the usual décor and selection of draught lager. I spotted a Bombardier pump on the bar, but I didn’t get the chance to see if it was hand pull or draught. I found the two barmen to be very friendly, although they both got an order wrong – not that it was that important. There’s a plasma screen that was showing muted Sky Sports News to give way to some daytime lounge music. I’m sure the music changes during the evening as I noticed the extended opening hours (midnight Thursday and 1am Friday and Saturday) leading me to believe this place is popular with the youngsters - Like all Slugs! As Redharvest’ has mentioned it is a place for buggies and dining mothers drinking coke, at least in the daytime – although the wife did have a shandy and I discovered that the Guinness was pretty good! If I return to St Albans with the clan again I'll probably return, but I would steer well clear if with mates or on my own. Strongers - 17 Jan 2010 21:25 |
| No proper beer, one for Mum's with pushchairs after coke and food. RedHarvest - 18 Dec 2009 16:03 |
| This pub was previously "Casa" & before that a community arts shop. Its main claim to fame is that it is (or was) owned by Simon Bridbury, who succeded me in the property management department at Savills in 1984. I have walked past it twice a day every day since it opened, but knowing it didnt sell real ale, never been in. I fought my way in past the 2 bouncers to ensure todays pub crawl was complete, expecting to make a swift exit on being told they had no real ale. But HOLD THE FRONT PAGE!!! three handpumps were clearly visible on the bar, though none of them were diaplaying a pump clip. The bar staff explained - REAL ALE arrives next week, though no details of the beers are yet available. Further research required LocaleDrinker - 4 Sep 2009 23:31 |

| This place is not good, two people at the bar I got there way before the other person, yet the barman serves the other person! I left after that. Been there in the evening too, and you have to fight through the oversized ego's to get to the bar! TheMuz - 3 Apr 2008 14:14 |
