Albert's Shed, Shrewsbury

A large warehouse-style place full of assorted junk and clearly aimed at the young, probably passing for trendy in Shrewsbury. It does at least have some handpumps, with barrels beneath visible through a glass panel, serving a couple of Salopian beers (including a house beer) and one from Stonehouse, also a cider. Sadly the condition of the house ale was poor. Possibly tolerable during the day but wouldn't want to be here on a busy evening.

Not quite as big as The Warehouse round the corner but another large single room with plenty of space for vertical drinking for the weekend rush. Made to look a bit scruffy with "keg" sawdust on the floor and given a rather rustic look. A bit more of a mixed age group than its near neighbours, probably due to the large number of TV screens in every part of the room showing Premiership football.

I agree with Mr Great below that this is indeed a strange place. If its going for the 'shed' look its got it totally wrong as it does indeed resemble a wild west saloon. It has a load of crap that you may find in an old shed; bits of machinery, rusty garden tools and assorted rubbish but your first impression is saloon bar more than garden/allotment shed. Anyway there are 4 handpumps on the bar with 3 for real, including their own 'Albert's Shed' beer by whoever, and one cider pump. I was not overly impressed and there are much better places in the town.
