Description

A beautiful & delicately restored Victorian pub,conveniently located opposite Wandsworth Town Rail Station.

The pub still has much of its original Victorian decoration, from its shiny green outside tiles & second floor dome to the solid mahogany staircase, carved fireplace & delicately painted mirrors.

Sensitive alterations have simplified the lay-out to a one roomed buzzing bar, and the bare wood floors & unique hand-made furniture provide a relaxed and friendly feel.

Whether you are looking for a meeting place with friends, a quick pint on the way home or an intimate dinner, The Alma is the perfect location.

Best Youngs pub in their old hometown in my view; gorgeous building makes up for usual open-plan format, and Ordinary very good indeed.

Not so friendly for the foreigners as the other pubs but lovely decorations and old beauty here. But Ship is better.

What a beautiful little pub, great decor! Food a bit pricey, but the draught peroni is great! Very lively and trendy crowd.

Not a very impressive show at all last Saturday morning I'm afraid

Entering the pub at approx 11.20 am, I was clearly the first customer of the day.

" A pint of Youngs Bitter please" I said, pointing to the appropriate pump.

After about 2 or 3 minutes of pulling vigorously on the pump, the barmaid managed to produce approx 1/3 of a pint of rather murky and cloudy looking beer.

"I'm sorry, sir, but we've only just opened up" she offered up apologetically, " I'll go downstairs to the cellar, see what's happened"

Several minutes later, she reappears - cue more vigorous pulling on the various handpumps, but still no liquid appears.

" I'm sorry sir, I dont know what seems to be the problem, can I get you a cup of tea, instead ?!!!!"

At this point, I made my excuses and left, telling her I would pop in again, some other time

I dont think I 'll bother

I'm scoring this visit a massive 0 out of 10 - well we aren't allowed to give minus numbers are we ?
