Sharp's Doom Bar at the Cock Inn, St. Albans

This was the final pub that we visited on that same roundabout in St. Albans. It was a pub that stretched around the corner and was full of old beams. To the left is a modern lounge with comfy chairs where you can sit with a book or newspaper and while the afternoon away, where there’s a bit toom much open brick on offer. To the right is a restaurant with full views of the road outside. Between these rooms are a few tables and barrels to perch drinks upon. It’s quite quiet, but the smiling barmaid always pops in to keep an eye on things as she dashes between the lounge and the restaurant. It’s otherwise quite quiet apart from the odd person who arrives for their reservation. The beer is a bit bland and it’s nothing special; it’s simply there to tick boxes; but there’s a large display of wine glasses hanging over the bar.
