Hippy/woke pub appealing to the Guardianista types who have infested Stroud over the last 20 years. Garish colour decor - aqua blue, yellow and magenta, it felt like I was trapped inside a Spectrum loading screen. Festooned with sproglets who were at least well-behaved, in fact I didn't see anyone under 50 here. Five cask on, 2x Bristol Beer Factory, Green Duck, Taylor’s Landlord and Church End Foxes Hat, the latter of which, whilst ostensibly fine, didn't fully clear (NBSS 2.5), served-up by a very friendly barman. It certainly serves a niche rather well here but I wouldn’t be tempted back out based on this visit. GBG’23 listed, though Stroud seems to have more entries than my visit felt it warranted.

The Prince Albert is on a steep hill between the town and Rodborough Common. We were having a wander along the Common when it started raining. So, we decided to head to the pub, booking a table along the way, as is required currently.

We were instructed to use a foot-controlled hand sanitiser on arrival. This was the first time I'd seen one of these. We were then shown to our table, where we were also intending to eat. The pizzas prepared in the pub were fairly nice.

Regular ales are Otter Bitter & Timothy Taylor Landlord. Guests were Bristol Beer Factory Notorious & Independence, Stroud OPA & Purity Mad Goose. I was hoping for a dark beer or a real cider. But sadly, they had neither.

As others have stated, there is plenty of modern artwork on the walls. A photograph celebrated the pulling down of statues in Bristol. Toilets are now unisex. There was nothing particular to dislike about this pub. But the beer range and lack of cider was disappointing.

Real Ale Ray left this review about The Prince Albert

My pint of Stroud Budding didn't touch the sides after walking up the steep hill to this pub. As Blackthorn mentions below, the interior of this pub doesn't reflect the Victorian stone built exterior. The interior is very arty and bohemian, with the brightly painted coloured walls, which is quite fitting for a music venue pub. They had seven handpumps across the bar with four on, Otter, TT Landlord, Adnams Lighthouse and Stroud Budding. The interior is now one large space with the bar facing you as you enter. The right hand side seating area was comfortable with a lit open fire blazing away. On Friday and Saturday nights, they have a Caribbean kitchen, also local bands and musicians feature here on a regular basis.
