| We were not impressed by what is essentially a tourist Pub. Poorly kept ales and perhaps understaffed. The food, which is why we dropped in, looked very unappetising. It is a lovely building and could be a great venue, how sad. digby.smith - 28 Mar 2011 15:53 |
| I came here on a Saturday, early evening, as my girlfriend was tired and began demanding booze. Initial impressions were a of a generic chain-operated faux-authentic pub, and indeed the clientèle of this establishment predominantly consisted of foreign tourists looking slightly underwhelmed by their "authentic British pub experience", which is hardly surprising given that this place is entirely devoid of character or warmth. Indeed, despite a large number of wooden fittings, old clocks and quaint brass fixtures, not the faintest whiff of authenticity can be detected here, the entire set-up clearly having been designed to fool unwitting tourists into parting with their cash. The available beers, predictably uninspired, were Bombardier, Greene King IPA and Abbott Ale, with the usual selection of indentikit lagers + Guinness and Strongbow on the taps. The prices, also predictably, were high. On the other hand, there isn't anything actively disagreeable about this place (except that the toilets were flooded), it's just that there isn't anything to like either. The staff seemed efficient if not exactly friendly, and there was a buzz of conversation in the air that came close to resembling conviviality. So, if you find yourself in dire need of refreshments while in the vicinity, or you are a connoisseur of the bland and mundane, you could do worse than to patronise The Albert, but if you have the time and inclination to find somewhere better, I recommend you do so.
