I think the layers of dirt are what's missing. I'm delighted about the disabled access which has been a bee in my bonnet.

Was just thinking that, i have moaned before about lack of food in the albert.
Well I'll Be...
I still haven't recovered from Be Atwell's surprise (and I mean SURPRISE) incarnation as Sextastic Soul God Strutting his Funky Stuff all over the Albert on Saturday night. A man of many talents indeed.
You should have seen the looks on all the girls' faces. And the boys'. Fu-u-u-u-ucking hell!
A megastar in the making.

There were uniforms in Old Pat's day. She just chucked them away. I think no smoking at the bar is perfectly reasonable. I speak as someone who is both a heavy smoker and who has worked as a barmaid.

Ooh tell us more, I was wondering how that went...IntoStella said:I still haven't recovered from Be Atwell's surprise (and I mean SURPRISE) incarnation as Sextastic Soul God Strutting his Funky Stuff all over the Albert on Saturday night. A man of many talents indeed.

Fair enough. I'm not really a smoker myself, but my friends were a bit taken aback. There was not even standing room when I went in, so there was no option but the bar! I didn't realise that it was because of the staff that it wasn't allowed, makes sense though.

The old uniforms (different brewery then) were actually just Stella Artois T shirts. At least these ones bear the pub name. Also saves wear washing for the staff. My clothes used to stink of beer and nicotine after every shift.
Oh man, I have lost the power of speech.Mrs Magpie said:
It was a brilliant, brilliant, brilliant night with MC Be doing what he does best — showing off — superlatively. At least the girls thought so. 
Madshadow took loads of photos. Perhaps we can get him to post some up?
Not the really horrible one of my chins though -- PLEASE.

a big bowl of wrong
Sat outside on the deck on Saturday afternoon for half an hour and was asked for change three times and cigarettes twice (happily dealt with on a normal trip down CHL but rather annoying over a pint with an old friend), whilst a crew of gurners from 414 tried for over five minutes to persuade us that we should let them join us at our table. Think I'll be heading to the garden in future.

yes, it was a shame that we got turned away with our dogs after the festival on Saturday, my mate who had her ferret with her got in by concealing it in her handbag
i hope it settles back into something approaching the old Albert after the initial excitement. all Saturday's shenanigans made it hard to assess, and hopefully aren't indicative of a new direction..
fingers crossed

Saturday was fantastic and Pat and the locals were very happy.

Seems a lot like its old self these days- in fact, I can hardly remember what it looked like before the refit.
Took a little getting used to but now I like the refit fine - the only thing I've got a problem with are those doors at the back with what appears to be a one-way system. It gets boring fast having to get somebody on the inside to open up the doors for you every time you want to get inside to the bar - although the door-related confusion can be entertaining viewing....
