Albion Inn, Chester

A brick corner terrace pub, with black paintwork. A fantastic bastion of the traditional pub ethos. The interior has three rooms; the larger in green wallpaper and paintwork, the second in red, the third in green and red. The decoration is supplied by WWI memorabilia; signs, posters and equipment, along with a touch of the homely, a piano and tall lamp with shade. The service was good and the clientele more mature during the lunchtime that i visited. There is no music, relying on customers to talk to each other! Beer; tap stuff, with Young's Bitter, Wadsworth Henry's IPA (good) and Meantime Brewery's Pale Ale and London Pale Ale (both good) on handpull. The landlord knows the kind of person he wants to visit his place, I for one enjoyed it and will be back again. Always visit when in Chester, just be aware that the pub closes around 3pm for a few hours.

This pub is an experience not to be missed if you visit Chester, Just off the city walls in Albion street, Its like going back to the first world war as you enter the bar with old pictures and adverts etc, the landlord has done a great job over the years reproducing that period, the pub is very popular with real ale drinkers travelling from all over the country, to sample the ale there. a must not miss pub if you ever visit the city.
