The Alb

Formerley called the Albert till late 2012. Three real ales on the day we visited. The Alb bitter is brewed by Tunnfield Brewery. Now an open plan pub, bight and airy with an old bicycle on the wall. There are a few tables and chairs outside too. Food served. The Alb feels more line a wine bar than a pub. It's handy for both the train and bus stations. Situated on Smithfield Road.

Chapel Miracle
Salopian Albert's Ale

Readers comments - Now with real ale again - May 2017

Albion Vaults

Old pub opposite the railway station on Castle Foregate. First impression suggests this basic local needs a bit of investment to make it feel a bit more comfortable, however we enjoyed our beers. But is it really necessary to have music so loud it's almost impossible to have a discussion. Darts. Tel - 01743 354906. Visited Mar 2019

Readers comment - Back open again and now under the ownership of the St. Annes Brewery - July 2018

The Anchor

Until the flood defence scheme was built this was an often flooded pub near the Welsh Bridge on Frankwell Quay – it used to have the flood levels marked by the door. Low ceilings and a really good pint of Harvest Pale. Food is served and there is an outside drinking area at the back. Nautical bits and bobs and rugby photographs adore the walls.
