Inside the Albion is a U-shaped bar on the right-hand wall where Carling is available alongside premium and mainstream craft keg. Six of the eight hand pumps were unused which left Proper Job, with a homemade scribbled clip, and Sharps’ Coaster as the cask options. In the left side of the bar is minimal furniture, a pool table and a jukebox that was switched off while a television aired Carabao Cup final highlights with sound from a couple of weeks before. There’s more seating in the rear where another television was airing Sky Sports News. The woman behind the bar was polite, but the atmosphere was that of a soup kitchen rather than a pub or bar. I only went in because I had ten minutes to kill before the Tap & Can opened, in hindsight sitting in the railway station over the road would have been more interesting. I was glad to leave.

truly awful bar opposite the station, a stripped out and ruthlessly modernised room with extremely loud music. Not sure the exact nature of the connection to the St Annes brewery but the five ales were all from other various mainstream breweries, I took a half of Robinsons Citra which was fine and very cheap. All signage now labels it as the Tumbledown but this may just apply to the hotel side of the operation. Incidentally the accommodator is cheap and quite serviceable but with no soundproofing from the appalling noise downstairs.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Albion Bar
You wouldn't really know it, but this scruffy pub located directly across from the station is also the tap for St Anne's Brewery. Square, very sparsely furnished interior with a low stage in one corner, and a separate darts alcove off the far end. What decoration there is also has a music theme, and the tunes being played pending somebody using the jukebox were at more-than-background level. With none of their own beers available from the bank of eight handpumps (although a reversed clip was noted), the choice of three was Doom Bar plus a pair from Hobson's: Town Crier plus the seasonal Spring Break (just £2.70 during 'happy hours, and very good too).
