  1. A

    Ye Olde Fighting Cocks

    Reputedly the oldest pub in England (a former manager allegedly proved a pub stood here in AD 795!), this unusual octagonal-shaped inn has oodles of charm. Oliver Cromwell spent a night here, stabling his horses in what's now the bar; underground tunnels lead to the cathedral. Drink in this historic atmosphere while you nurse your pint.

    Rose & Crown

    Another St Albans favourite, this 16th-century pub with beautiful beer garden features live music Mondays at 21:00 and Irish music on Thursdays at 20:00.

    Goat

    Tucked away on a residential lane, this delightful pub is a warren of little rooms including library and games room with Chesterfield sofas.

    Six Bells

    Next door to the Rose & Crown, this popular, low-ceilinged spot has a cosy fireplace and good pub food.

  5. Lower Red Lion Freehouse

    Has regular beer festivals. A little rough around the edges, but there's a charming outdoor beer garden.

  6. Black Lion Inn

    Roman malting ovens were found here. Probably the least atmospheric of all St Albans pubs.
