The Glass House, St Albans

This pub use to be truly great a couple of summers ago. Those staff have long since left, and along with them has the clientele and atmosphere that made it so good. I�d say the place has lost its way a little, despite its attempts to continually reinvent itself.

The Robin Hood, St Albans

I agree there are better pubs in St Albans, but this is a decent honest pub, with good staff, and nice little garden. Would be a massive shame if pubs like this didn�t exist anymore.

The Speckled Hen, St Albans

As generic suburban chain pubs go, this one is ok. It has been decorated to last another 7 years, in that hotel bar style which is inoffensive enough. The food is awful, straight from the freezer fayre, although the manager told us that he really wants to introduce his own menu soon. Your experience of this place will be largely influenced by the clientele that happens to be in at the time. The girl sat at the table next to us recounting the story of pressing her �front bottom� up against the window of TGI Fridays in Watford almost put me off my half pint of prawns � but that said, she was not representative of the �Friday after work� crowd that seemed to be there.
