St Albans Pub Review
Welcome to stalbanspubreview.co.uk - the complete guide to all St Albans city centre pubs.

All fifty three pubs in St Albans have been visited and reviewed between November 2006 and December 2007.
The aim was to complete the review within one year but due to circumstances beyond our control (pub closed for refurbishment) we reviewed the fifty third pub in the first week of December 2007.

The review team will regularly visit all these pubs and update the pub details when there are any significant changes.

This pub guide is split into sections:

The Pubs section contains a brief summary of every pub in St Albans and clicking on one of the pubs in the list will take you to a page giving full details of the pub.

Pub Map as expected shows the location of all of the pubs St Albans city centre.

The Review tells the story of the various stages the review team needed to go through to research this guide.

Pub Crawls lists recommended routes for visting the best pubs in St Albans.

Local Travel is a guide to how to get to your favourite pubs by public transport.

Finally Useful Links can be used to find out the weather in St Albans, local news etc.

The comments in this website are personal observations and others may have a completely different opinion. Please don't take the comments too seriously.

Each pub was rated out of ten for real ale, character, atmosphere and how trendy a pub is and an average was taken to get an overall score. The Scoring page explains how pubs have been rated and what the various categories mean.
The full results table shows the complete set of results for all of the pubs reviewed.
There was plenty of people willing to join us for a few beers and here is a complete list of all those who joined us on the various sections of the pub review:- the review team
