The Six Bells

The Six Bells is a pub on Saint Michael’s Street in St Albans with a traditional look and a clear pull for people after a proper pint or a meal out. It’s the sort of place that works just as well for an unplanned stop as it does for meeting friends for a booked table, and dogs are welcome too. Inside, the focus is on drinks and food in generous measure. Traditional Tring Brewery ales are part of the draw, and customers also mention cask ales, cocktails and well-prepared roasts. The pub’s food offering is broad enough for groups, and the outdoor seating gives you another option when the weather holds. Friendly service comes up often as well, including staff who are attentive even when a kitchen service is close to finishing. There’s free parking, which makes it easier to call in without faffing about, and bookings are taken if you want to plan ahead. For anyone exploring this part of St Albans, it’s a pub that combines a dependable drinks list with a sizeable menu and enough space to suit a mixed crowd.
