The Black Boy in Saint Albans

Ah, The Black Boy – what a gem of a pub tucked away in St Albans. From what I've gathered from the reviews, it's got that classic pub charm that's hard to beat, with folks raving about the welcoming atmosphere that just draws you in for a chat and a drink. The team behind the bar are absolute stars, always ready with a smile and willing to help out, whether it's serving up a top-notch pint or sorting things for a special occasion. It's heartening to hear how they've handled events like wakes with such care and attention, making tough times a bit easier. Prices are fair too, so you can pop in without breaking the bank. On the downside, though, the operating hours look a tad confusing from the details available, which might mean you have to plan around a few uncertainties. And without an online presence like a website, it's not straightforward to check what's on or get in touch beforehand. All in all, it's a place I'd happily recommend for a laid-back evening with mates, as long as you're up for that authentic pub experience with a few quirks along the way.
