A once pleasant little boozer handy for the station has now been gutted and turned into some cheap and nasty café with a bar . Keg only - okay for a swift lager before the train and that's about it.

This is more of a posh restaurant these days. I believe it used to be a Marstons pub. Only keg options now - Stella, Bass, Becks Vier, Peroni, Guinness & Thatchers Gold. A bit too upmarket for our liking.

Looks promising from the outside, but had no real ales available, so had to settle for a rather disappointing Banks Smooth for �2.70. It's a shame, because the other reviews suggested greater things.

I was in there on a saturday evening and found it very quiet. *In fact the bar staff almost out-numbered the customers. Nice place, however, and the berr was fine, if the choice was limited (only one hand pump working and an understocked fridge).
I would go back, though.

Good news (I think). The Albert has re-opened!
We called in today (4th September) and were told the pub re-opened about a week ago. The bar area has been refurbished but the handpumps are still there and they plan to have guest beers. The kitchen is being refitted/brought up to date and they hope to be serving food very soon. We didn't stay long enough to have a pint as we had to catch a train. Unable to rate the pub at this point, but it looks promising. Worth another recce.

Bloody hell, terrible news.

closed down this week due to Kate not being prepared to carry financial loses, another quality boozer gone in tamworth.at this rate we will be a town full of 'kids pop' pubs!

The Albert is a warm and friendly place,where you can meet down to
earth people....I'm an American that comes once a year to visit friends that
live nearby...The owners Kate & Nick treats me like family from the first time i visited in 2004....It seems like i've known Kate & Nick more than the four years that i've been coming to the Albert...
I'm hoping to visit the Albert for many years to come...

Traditional little boozer within stumbling distance of the station. Reasonably friendly staff, I sampled the only guest on offer - Jennings World's Biggest Liar which was more than acceptable. A TV was showing the Rugby League highlights of Australia's collapse at the hands of New Zealand which was an added bonus. Worth stopping off at.

A friendly and cosy little local pub near Tamworth station - but by no means a 'station pub' (it isn't that close!). Sells a range of ales including Church Ales 'Vicar's Ruin' which was very pleasant. Also offers accommodation - maybe next time!

A great little pub - discovered by happy chance when we had 45 mins to kill between trains. Cosy bar, about 4 real ales on offer (the one we tried was in excellent condition). Good honest pub grub on menu at reasonable prices - we didn't try the food, but the dishes coming out of the kitchen looked very tempting. We'll be back!

A new landlord has taken over this cosy pub close to the town centre and railway station. Well kept Bank's ales and extensive reasonably priced menu including homemade steak and ale pie (which was absolutely stuffed with chunks of steak)as well as daily specials including beef madras and cumberland sausage. All food is delicious and freshly prepared.
Pub offers pool, fruit machines and juke box. Beer garden and car park as well as accomodation. Staff are friendly and attentive. The Albion is one of the few 'real' pubs in the town
