Featured pub - The King Harry
Located on the south side of St Albans, The King Harry is a quirky local pub with great beers and ciders, an excellent wine list, comfort pub food - including Sunday roasts - and a large beer garden to make the most of summer.
Its eclectic interior makes a welcome change from so many other chain pubs - with mis-matched, well-loved furniture, comfy sofas and a 'snug' area. It's also family and dog friendly.
Tuesday night is quiz night and they also show films and host other special events - see their website for details and to join their mailing list for news and special offers.
Open Monday to Thursday and Saturday from noon to 11pm, Friday noon to midnight, Sunday noon to 10.30pm
