The Prince Albert, Brixton

Went to opening night on Friday. The refurbishment is to be congratulated. They haven't changed the place too radically @ all-given a place a good make over. Clean. Nice touches to front rear doors-widening the place; the pub looks much more spacious. Well designed as it goes. Garden is a gem. Even the raised patio @ the front is OK too. All in all-well done The Albert! Full marks!! Good to see the regulars back-a right motley mix across the age/class/race boundaries. Nice barmaids too. Many beers consumed by yours truly. Ended up there again for live music/rapping on Sat 'til v late. Bladdered again. Need a break from the place already! I might be wrong-the price of the ale is unchanged! Amazing!

The Prince Albert, Brixton

Tonight is opening night ; it will be interesting to see how The Albert has changed. Hopefully they haven't go too mad. Free drinks? We'll see! Best boozer in Brixton by some distance. Q. Who are these cool people drinking in the Railway @ Tulse Hill? Have you been there lately? Should be called 'The Can You Buy us a Pint Please'. We've all been skint but COME ON! The Albert has a charm all of it's own that other bars/pubs could match let alone understand. It's the area/regulars. Nuff said. Having said that though The Railway is OK when it's sunny or Fri nights.
