Read some of the recent previous comments and I don't get it!! I recently moved to the area on the other side of town from this pub and some work colleagues suggested going here. I LOVE IT! The staff were friendly and the manager came over to have a chat recognising i was a new punter. He was really friendly and once i'd told him i'd only just moved back to St Albans he recommended other places to have a drink, eat, dance etc - it was great! I've been back a whole bunch of times since and i've pretty much made it my local, despite passing other pubs on route. Most place in town are bland chain pubs, this place has real character. I want to make this clear - BEST BURGERS EVER!!

Totally agree with previous post. I stopped coming in her months ago. Over-priced, unfriendly and dead.

Posted a review of this place a while back being vaguely positive. Not sure why. The place is horrible.

If the ludicrous prices and complete lack of atmosphere aren't enough to put you off, the surly, rude and dismissive staff (particularly the bar manager) should do it. Have stood at a nearly empty bar on a few occasions now being ignored by the bar manager who chooses to serve his cronies instead.

My other half has also had rude comments thrown at her by the manager - 'why are you having a drink on your own? No mates?' 'why are you buying your boyfriend a drink? That's his job' etc etc.

If the place was packed to the rafters every night then the arrogance might be understandable but the place is near on empty most nights.

It's not hard to see why.

I was in briefly last night , never seen it so dead, it was the girls behind the bar who looked miserable to me, went back to The Blacksmith which was really busy with a great band on.
