Albion Bar, Shrewsbury

visited a few times it a friendly enough pub but sadly needs pulling down and rebuilding in my view, decor leaves a lot to be desired, a stale smell of beer hangs about the place. a visit only if your caught out in the rain for this one.

Pub first licensed in 1856 when the license was transfered from the Fighting Cocks which was demolished to make way for the railway station , the pub is directly opposite the station , the layout is just one room on two levels , the bar is on the upper level . It feels a bit run down and in need of a splash of paint . Usual keg taps plus two handpulls with Marstons Pedigree and a decent Banks Sunbeam , service was OK . OK for a quick pint while waiting for a train

Has an interesting colour sheme - green and yellow. Never liked that blend of colours, reminds me of my old junior school, Bromford, who used the same on their tie. The inside seemed clean enough to me, with mock tudor style beams and leather 'chesterfield' styled seating. No real ale, but we knew that they had a MILD from previous experience. The Burton Bridge MILD had been replaced by a Banks's Dark MILD tap - one of my favourites, however, when the landlady poured the beer, she bizarrely put a little Guiness in each one first and although ok, it didnt taste like Banks's Dark to me - but then with a bit of tar in it, why should it? Always visit though, and any answers to the above, please drop me an email

old fashion pub nice pint I always visit this pub whist waiting for my train, the station is only a minuts walk from this bar.
