Under new management, The Albion is making a massive effort to be a nice pub, with music, events, nice food and friendly staff. The one big obstacle they faced was the unpleasant criminals and halfwits who had made the place their home, but on a recent visit it seemed that these undesirables had been abolished by the simple expedient of putting up the cost of a pint - a small price to pay.

Formerly one of the dodgiest pubs in West side, but now a lovely local, the food isn't that special but there's a beautiful outdoor bit, great beer, and a welcome that makes you want to linger.
