The Farmer's Boy in Saint Albans

Ah, The Farmer's Boy – what a gem in St Albans! From what I've gathered from the reviews, it's got this fantastic array of craft beers and real ales that really hit the spot, whether you're into American brews or local favourites. I love how they've embraced live music in the beer garden, especially on a Saturday afternoon with bands playing and fresh pizzas on offer – it's like a little party in the back. The staff sound genuinely helpful and create that warm, pub-like charm that makes you want to linger. On the flip side, it does have that classic, old-school feel, which is brilliant if you're after a traditional spot, but it might not wow everyone looking for something more contemporary. Plus, with the bar being on the smaller side, it can get a bit packed when things are hopping, and without any fresh reviews lately, I'm curious if it's still firing on all cylinders. Overall, though, it's a solid choice for a relaxed pint or a fun night out – I'd say give it a go if you're in the area, as the positives far outweigh the minor niggles.
