A small two-roomed street-corner pub just off the city centre that is believed to be the only pub in St Albans that never stopped serving cask beer. For many years a McMullens’ tied house, it has now been sold into the free trade but continues to serve their AK and Country Bitter along with a couple of guest beers. Although the door between the two rooms has been removed, the interior looks little changed since the inter-war period, with a front public bar featuring a dartboard, and a rear saloon bar, both with extensive fixed seating backed with light wood.
