About us
Welcome to St Albans Pub Goers!
Our group will be indulging in the best, no nonsense pubs, etc St Albans has to offer. It's for friendly people who want to get together and socialise over a drink in a decent pub.
Where will we go?
Our pubs of choice will:
> * be places with a bit of character, history and interest in them.
> * Be quiet enough we can actually hear each other talk (unless we're going for pub band, in which case all bets are off).
> * Actually, we do bands
> * Have a respectable range of drinks – so at aminimum that's proper beer, interesting wines & ciders. But if soft drinks are your thing then that's OK too.
In general, we will avoid:
> * Pubs/Bars with TVs (though turned off is acceptable)
So, to give you a feel, some of the ones I'm thinking of for starters (not a full list):
> * Farmers Boy
> * Lower Red Lion
> * White Hart Tap
> * White Lion
> * Six Bells
> * Robin Hood
> * Garibaldi
> * The Boot
> * Mad Squirrels
What sort of people should come?
- Everyone!
St Albans Pub Goers are friendly people that are happy to chat about anything and everything. I'll always endeavour to make sure new (and nearly new) attendees get introduced to people – so, please make everyone welcome and don’t be afraid to start randomly chatting to stranger (and be ready for people to do that to you too )
Any rules?
Due to the nature of some of the pubs (i.e. relatively small) I will sometimes limit numbers for a given event. Sorry about that. Obviously, these are public houses, so, that doesn’t actually stop anyone from turning up. However, I want to make sure the landlords/ladies are happy to see us and that we don’t crowd out everyone else in the pub (or, indeed, ourselves). So, please bear that in mind.
Also, with groups of medium numbers it's more important that your RSVPs are accurate. So, please:
- Only RSVP "Yes", if you intend to come (i.e. not waiting for a 'better offer')
Should your plans change (which is fine) please update you're RSVP as soon as possible so someone else gets chance to attend.
Cheers
Pete

Album Club
The White Lion, 91 Sopwell Lane, St Albans, GBWelcome to Album Club. It's basically a book club but with music!
Each month we discuss three albums, and then we nominate three albums for the group to listen to over the following month and talk about at the next meeting. It'll be great to hear everyone's thoughts and open up to a diverse range of musical genres.
It is normally on the fourth Wednesday of every month at 7:45, for a prompt 8pm start.
The venue is The White Lion pub on Sopwell Lane. The nearest car park is Keyfield Terrace but the larger London Road car park is just a short walk from the pub. An area is a reserved to the back of the pub in a side room by the exit to the garden area.
