Can't really rate anything else besides their beer at this place. The pint was good. The ambiance was a pub style atmosphere. Ample seating. Decorations were nice. Made me feel like I was in some type of tree just by the look of the outside decoration and the interior. Service, I don't get much of the service because I ordered a pint, used their bathroom and left. Overall, their menu looks good so I'd go back for their food if I had the chance. read more

Its a Greene King chain. Food is ok. I would suggest fish & chips. Not much in the way of healthy choices. Tonight I had the Korean chicken breast subbing the carrot fries for mash. It was not supposed to be deep fried but it showed up deep fried. They remade it roasted.Chicken wings were had by my dining partner. No table service, you order at the bar and someone will bring it out eventually. I will not be back. read more

I am not sure what it is about London and peas but please stop! With most meals.. i just can't get behind them. The chips were solid. I am not a fan of steak and ale pie. It's giving me pot roast but the gravy is not as good. We only got it to try another staple. The service was amazing and the ambiance was dope. I liked the look and set up of the restaurant. read more

Saw this old multi story bar with optional outside seating on Victoria Street and had to check it out. Extremely busy with that warm British wood charm and lots of that orange colored lighting. No server comes to your table, you must order at the bar then sit and wait for your food to arrive. Our craft beers on tap by Greene King were provided by the bartender and were sudsy and ice cold. We then sat and waited about 45 minutes for our simple two plates of fried fish. Finally, I asked the bartender where the food was. He went to find it and then brought out the wrong order. A few minutes later both meals were on our table. Long wait and confusion. Took a stroll upstairs on an old wide dark brown wooden staircase with huge pictures of the Queen affixed to the wall. There was another eating area and two bathrooms down a thin hall. The womens bathroom had zero toilet paper (wife confirmed) and her face as she exited was priceless. The mens bathroom was completely flooded, although somehow working. I drank beer so I had to go and took a chance. I was standing in an inch of water in this tiny bathroom (see pic). Aside from the obvious screw ups, the cod was cooked perfectly with a lovely flaky crust. In my opinion, I would definitely recommend the relaxed ambiance and the food, but new management might be a good thought. read more

Thought we struck gold when we walked into this little British decorated pub and found a seat immediately. Sat for a bit, but no one came over to greet us. Hubby went to the bar and ordered some drinks and asked for a server. The food took a long time to get to us and was incorrect. Eventually, they brought us our correct meals which were decent. Just another story we have to tell from our London trip. read more

We were looking for Lunch after visiting Churchill's War Room (an outstanding Musuem), and found The Albert. Read the plaque on the building and was hooked. Love venues with a history. The Albert looks to be a traditional British Pup, but what do I know, my first time to Great Britian and I don't watch British TV. I ordered a meat pie and Jan ordered mussels. The meat pie was not very good. The upper crust was hard and the pie filing was mostly au jus. Not sure what the Au Jus was for. Very little meat in the pie. Jan ordered muscles and thought they were pretty good. I had a local beer and it was excellent. The restrauant has a a pub feel and vibe. The service was OK and it wasn't too noisy. read more

We randomly stumbled in here as we walked up the street from Westminster Abbey towards the West End for a theater show. This bar has two levels, a traditional pub atmosphere downstairs and a more quiet space upstairs. We opted to go upstairs based on a lack of seating and enjoyed a few drinks and some food. Keep in mind that service in the UK is a bit different than the states. We ended up having to go up to the bar to order everything and they have table numbers fixed to the table tops where you sit so they just run the food out to you. The fish and chips were actually quite good and the drink prices were even better. Was happy to find Buffalo Trace bourbon, something that was not regularly available the rest of the time we were in the UK. read more

No stars in this place. Took over an hour to get their Sunday roast. Repeated promises that the food was coming only to not get the food. Servers were rude and argumentative about the delays. Really, stay away. so many better places with better attitude and service. Well, here's the update which we got after we received our food 90 minutes after ordering. They ran out of meat and had to start from scratch. But they didn't tell us this when we arrived and we would have left without ordering had we known. Their system requires payment in advance (no table service) so we were stuck. And no refund was offered. It always comes down to communication in these situations. Which was sorely lacking. Predictably the meat ended up being overcooked. Live and learn. read more

Decent bar food, very live and loud crowd but hey it's a pub in London what do you expect right? Loved the vibe. Servers were friendly.

Part of the Greene King pub chain that you'll find all around London, especially downtown. They all have similar menus and beer lists. While nothing spectacular, at least you always know what you're getting. I also went to one called The Victoria, right by Victoria Station. There's a decent craft beer selection, and the food is good, better than you would likely get at most bars. I got the chicken Kyiv, not bad, came with chips, a good value. Plenty of places to sit and many TVs with sports matches on. Located down the road from Westminster Abbey, I actually ended up stopping here after Sunday services there. If you happen to be staying in the area, and are looking for a quick place to stop and ear, it's not a bad option. read more

The historical eatery was just a block from our hotel. We were yearning for that "pub" experience and this place definitely fit the bill, so much we came back a second time! The first thing we ordered was cod fish nuggets and a tomato soup with white bread and butter. They were both excellent! We were so weary of cabs the second day that we decided to go back for the Sunday Roast. Joe got the chicken roast and I got the Mac n Cheese with garlic toast. They both were divine. It has been 20+ years since I've had this. The atmosphere was fun especially since there was a big footy match with Manchester United. Happy crowd and a fun atmosphere. read more

Great old location with a wonderful vibe good beer choices of old traditional Ale style beers ( a bit on the warm side) but good cold selection from UK, Japan, Italy. London Pilsner was my favorite! Had fish and chips which others in my group from USA all agreed was good however Nachos was not very good ( just taste different) ( ps I recommend avoiding Mexican food anywhere in UK and Europe) ! read more

Burger was good & Mac+ cheese stellar. Upscale sports pub vibe. But otherwise do NOT recommend the food -- your food will be served luke warm. Mixed up orders. Pepper sauce congealed by time chips arrived & by time waiter brought new (randomly COLDER?!?) pepper sauce chips had gone cold Tables don't have cutlery or menus (bar staff will insist they do). Do NOT order the squid. Lacked flavour, wasn't cleaned properly before it was battered (so had the internal skin / stringy parts) & was served cold (hot starter). The charred lime made a valiant attempt...but dipping sauce was weird flavour clash with it....side salad nice portion but didn't realise mac & cheese had one already. read more

Nice busy bar on Victoria Street. The bar has a good ambiance with a variety of different seating options and a big TV for sports viewing. The bar has a good selection of beers. We tried the historic fish & chips. The meal took 45 minutes to arrive. The service was truly slow. The fries were great, but the fish was bland and not much of an experience. read more

Fun historic pub! Great place to watch England advance to the finals of the Women's World Cup! Beautiful old building. Full bar and great beers on tap. The guys behind the bar a bit clueless but I'm guessing they don't pay much for talent in a tourist draw like this. Food is mid grade pub grub. Get here on foot. read more

Great pub in Central London! I loved the ambiance and friendly, helpful staff. I ate with my wife and two teenage children and everyone was satisfied with their meal.

Pretty good, met expectations. Service was pretty good. I got the Korean BBQ burger and it was really good, it also came with great fries. ambiance is nice, although could be improved. Reason it is not 4 stars is because the bathroom wasn't great, liminal space and the sink was hard to turn on. Otherwise, good. read more

Best fish and chips in London. Location perfect to find. We ate there serval times and the service was great too. It gets busy

Our first evening in town we were wandering around look for a place to eat that was close by our hotel. Pub food sounded great to me....I wanted bangers and mash as my first meal! The place was popping and busy at 6 pm and there were no visible available tables. but the bar staff was kind enough to direct us upstairs for additional seating. It was just as busy upstairs, but the server, Kathy, said we could sit at the communal table, however we had to finish eating by 19:30 for a another reservation. No problem, it was only 18:00 when we were seated. While not typical, our server came to take our order, instead of having us order at the bar, like other places. The bangers and mash caught my eye, as that was what I was craving and the rest of our group ordered the burger and fish & chips. I was very pleased with my order and satisfied. The fish and chips came with one huge piece and lots of chips and the burger was good, but on the small side--maybe I'm more used to the large American burgers, but it was filling and did not leave you feeling hungry. Our meal was quite good--I would come back again. read more

Fn place with interesting history. Was weird to be seated once only to be moved to a less desirable back/side room. Food was decent enough.

I came here on my first night in London since I was craving an English Pub meal and I got just that. It's about a five minute walk from St. Ermin's Hotel if you happen to be staying there. My first surprise was that there was no bar seating, only tables. However, you do order everything at the bar and they bring it to your table. I went with the grilled cheese toastie with toasted sourdough, béchamel, caramelised red onion. I also ordered the roasted tomato soup. These two dishes go so well together, I highly recommend it! I had a few different cocktails here and loved them all. In my short visit, I felt like I got the perfect pub experience. read more

The most British food ever. Everything is so so so flavorless and mediocre. Never again

I love the pubs with the window flower boxes so we had to stop on for a pint. Service was very friendly. Bartender was helpful in helping me choose a beer and sorting my pences and pounds. Interior is warm and welcoming and clean. Beer was cold and that's always a plus in the UK. read more

5pm on a Friday and they don't have their signature Albert burger or chicken. Poor planning by management for sure. So I ordered the cheddar bacon burger and it may be the single worst burger I have ever had. Shoe leather, hockey puck or maybe picture biting into a piece of granite or concrete. The atmosphere here is wonderfully perfect but the food is just downright horrendous. read more

Had THE BEST fish and chips here! We took a 10 day trip around London and Dublin and these were the best! The beer selection is great, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful in selecting one. Loved the atmosphere in the pub, the downstairs has a more casual decor while upstairs seems a little more elegant with the curtains. We sat downstairs but went up for the restrooms. read more

Where to begin?? First I was dumb for not believing other reviews. This was the SLOWEST service I had during my trip to London. Sunday night dinner. Arrived and the Albert and it was half full, at best. Went to the bar to order four meals and drinks. It took 55 minutes for one meal to be delivered and then another 10 minutes for the other three. Sirloin steak meal had 15 fries on the plate. Perhaps the phrase "a dusting of fries" should accompany the description in the menu The chicken kiev was over cooked. Burger was average Chicken roast dinner was good. The staff didn't have good answers for the delays. They assumed the kitchen was short staffed, but didn't have an accurat answer. Asked the server, who brought food to the tables about our delay. He said he would look into it and get back to me. He never looked into it. When one person in our party went to the restroom, the server took his plate and here was still part of his meal on it.. We tried to stop him but couldn't. Be a believer, do not waste your time and money. read more

Quiet place that is very old but very quaint. The menu was the same as another place we visited so they must be connected. My kids (9 and 13) had the Mac and cheese, I had a meat pie, and my wife had the fish and chips. All was yummy. The bar is great as it is lively, had cricket on the TV, and the vibe was good. When you arrive please note you need to order from the bar. Don't forget to have a pint or two as ours was delish! read more

Stay Away! Worst experience ever! There are hundreds of Pubs in London so do not come here. We had a reservation for four.. they gave us three chairs. Had to ask and ask to get a fourth chair. Ordered at the bar because no table wait staff.. no food.. literally nothing to order. They didn't care in the least. Rude and horrible staff. Ladies bathroom was filthy.. totally horrible experience.. never again. Of course we had to leave.. read more

Awful, slow and non-existent service, mediocre tourist food at tourist prices. Avoid for sure.

I would have to sum up our experience here by saying it was "just fine". The food was nothing noteworthy. We ordered the steak and red wine pie as well as the traditional roast chicken and sirloin duo which was their Sunday special. Both orders were incorrect when we received them (one had the wrong side and the other was missing a side that was supposed to be included). The sirloin was overdone and very chewy but the chicken was good. The steak and red wine pie was pretty tasty, but the mashed potatoes that came with it were dry and tasteless. They even had like a crust on them... like they'd been sitting out for a while. Also, the service we received was not great; the waiter was somewhat rude and could not have cared less if we needed something. The things they did well were ambience and drinks. It felt like a true pub and the beer was good and cold. I'm not inclined to return here on this trip or another as there are many pubs here with good drinks and ambience that have better food and service. read more

I was told to try this little English pub by a local. The vibes were exactly what I'd expect from an English pub! Everyone was very friendly. Football (soccer) was on TV and everyone was shouting at the game. I loved it! I wanted to try the fish and chips while in London. The chips were amazing and the fish was nice. The peas were a bit cold. Overall the experience was super awesome! The food was okay but I wouldn't say it was the best fish and chips I've ever had. Stop in for a beer and bar food and you won't be disappointed! read more

We made the effort to locate The Albert Pub while in London due to overwhelming recommendations from P's father. When he was in London, many years ago, this was his favorite haunt. What we found was the quintessential British pub in every way. All of the wood, brass and leather appointments gave the place a slightly formal but still warm, inviting atmosphere. We were there in late November and they had already decorated for the holidays, which added a nice touch. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful and even tolerated our teen kids in tow. We enjoyed a hearty, warm lunch of typical pub fare and a pint before heading back into the cold. It was a brief, but enjoyable stop. Very nice place and we will definitely visit again when in London. read more

I love (quite fancy) the ambiance of The Albert, charming and cozy, though it may not be as 'happening' as other pubs....nice for dates, family, or business. There were quite a few tourists around maybe due to its location. Hearing so many negative things about fish n chips, I braced myself to try it...turns out it was pretty good, not too greasy and no bone in my fish...though yes it would be boring to have a whole plate by myself. My friend and I also had some kind of lamb stew, as well as a dish of chicken with rice. We thought both were pretty tasty, but seemed more like ethnic food than local fare. The restaurant upstairs and the ground level pub offer a variety of dishes for (relatively) reasonable prices. The restaurant also offers some kind of carved meat buffet for £11.25. And the pub offers afternoon tea all day/night =). read more
