Old Boots left this review about The Albert

A very old looking building judging by the stone window mullions and the beams in the low ceiling. Entering the Albert is much like entering a cellar, it is low and dark with the counter at back. Only one man and a dog in when I called on a Saturday lunchtime, eventually someone appeared to serve me with ale from the two handpumps tucked away on a corner of the counter. Both pumps were serving beer from local micros which appears normal according to the small clip collection round the bar, the dominant T Bar holds the usual national brands. The beer was a bit cold but OK. There is a big stone fireplace with a wood burner in one half of the divided room, flooring is stone flag and carpet and the furnishings leather sofas at low tables, there are the usual machines and a couple of big screens. The function room upstairs has a pool table. Décor is a bit sparse with a couple of Irish number plates and some music related pictures. I thought it was a bit of a mish mash, with poor service but the beer was fine, probably more of an evening venue.
