I've been meaning to visit the Nightingale for a while, and have finally made it. The beer was good (good choice of real ales; the landlord seems to take the beer seriously) and the atmosphere seemed friendly enough. I wasn't that keen on the music and fruit machines inside, but they may appeal to some. Outside there is a quiet patio and, not being too busy, it was quite peaceful sitting next to a small pond with a fountain. I imagine it would get quite smoky outside if busy, and there didn't appear to be much cover if it rained. As superseagulls said, a good option if you want a drink while waiting for a train. Also decent if you want to play some pool or watch some sport. I'd be happy to include it on a pub crawl especially if the plan was to visit a sequence of pubs between the station and the town centre.

"Chavs" in the Nightingale? Pretty rare event that ... sorry, you came at a bad time :(

(I'm in the 'gale 2 or 3 times a week... we don't generally have many "chavs" about.)

Good beer choices but theres something about this pub which doesnt quite feel right, the music was far too loud and there was a load of chavs playing pool and swearing which let the pub down. worth a visit if your stuck at Hitchin station but wouldnt go out of my way to visit.

I've been in a few times to meet friends coming into town by train. Always local ale on and the patio out back is worth a look. Its friendly and relaxing but a bit quiet but then I usually go early evening.

Further to my previous comment about their real ales, today they had five ales from the Tring Brewery on handpumps. What a dilemma !!!
