Albert & Co Frankville in Shropshire

Great atmosphere, reasonable prices. Hosted some Loop Fest bands when I visited - brilliant way to highlight local talent

Great cocktails and friendly staff - and great to see them supporting local groups.

A great environment and vibe, the live music was great too

Nice place. Quiet but was mid week so expected

Nice looking bar in a good location. Not many beers but then it seems to be more about cocktails, milkshakes etc. As an update to this review I was there on Friday 19th November 2023 and the DJ was a real spoiler to the night. There were a few ok tunes but he couldn't mix them to save his life. They were too loud for the venue and we were the only people there for much of the time. I think people were leaving because of him. I won't go there again if he's on

Lovely staff that really tried but probably the worst food I've had in a good while , the enchilada was literally a non toasted wrap swimming and I mean swimming in the sauce that was meant to be toasted. Such a disappointment, I didn't complain as I could tell the staff had tried their best and tbh my partner didn't want me say anything so we left all our food on the table and quietly left. On a side note the drink was the best cocktail I'd had in a while in the UK. but the food was woefully bad. Lovely little venue that I wish to see do well but the food really needs a proper chef , not just the bar staff preparing poor quality food. Sad face 😔.

I really liked the vegan options on their menu They had run out of their normal meat substitute (harissa oatmeal something) but adapted it with Jackfruit which was appreciated. I'd definitely go back to try it again with the oat stuff, but also enjoyed the jackfruit. Also I don't normally eat/like quacamole but theirs was really tasty. Really nicely presented and prepared. Very friendly staff

Update: For a little while these guys lost their way, the menu was chopping and changing and it was clear they weren't really sure what they wanted to do. There was one or two staff that really let the side down and definitely caused groups to leave due to seemingly inexplicable slowness. I'm pleased to say the service is now better (maybe still not really what you would call efficient) but luckily they seem to have found their identity again! The food choices have pivoted to mexican, which they do well and for very thrifty prices. There are some unique touches, like muscovado and lime glaze, that put their own stamp on the food. They don't seem to particularly advertise themselves as mexican which seems a shame. I'm sure more folks would pop over the bridge for something a bit different if they knew Definitely back on the radar Old review below Surprisingly fabulous place! The name put me off a bit as I suspected they might be connected to Albert Shed, just across town. If they are then it is a huge step in right direction as this experience is a million times better We have been twice, a Friday tea time followed by a Saturday afternoon and they were excellent both times On our first visit we went with the cheeseboard, which was very generously sized and packed with quality ingredients. We also added some houmous from the veggie board, which gave us additional bread. The extra bread was useful because of the sheer quantity of cheese! This wasn't nibbles, this was a satisfying meal that left us contentedly stuffed On our second trip we tried the sandwiches and they were damn good! The bread had a slight golden crispness to it as if it had met some butter in a hot pan, delicious. The fillings were generous and interesting. They came with a side of chips, well seasoned and crisp and a side salad where someone had made a real effort to make it worth eating. Honestly you won't get a better lunchtime sandwich for £8 Beer choice is respectable, wines very reasonable and the cocktails are a real star. This is a venue that really knows it's cocktails, some inspired signature drinks and a solid array of classics. And I don't mean classics like some lesser venues do, I mean proper classics. It could be the only place in town that can make you a Sazerac and if you have never tried one before, try it here first. If you like the idea of absinthe done properly you could even go for Death in the Afternoon. Hemingway would be proud I'm looking forward to going back and working through some more cocktails! Edit: we have been back a few times but recently they have gained a new chef and a much enlarged menu. It was a bit overdue as the previous menu seemed to keep shrinking but the new one has some very tasty dishes. It also doesn't break the bank, if you fancy a casual thrifty meal and a few beers, you can't go far wrong

Booked a table for food and drink. Of the 6 main courses on the menu only 3 were available due to not having any chicken. Cocktails were good but very restricted food choice.

Fantastic!!!!! The welcome we received was warm and welcoming. The food and drinks were a delight!!!!! A must try!!!!!!!

Called in on the off chance they could do me something to take away as my go to sandwich options in Frankwell were closed. I was on my break from work so didn't have much time. They were so accommodating and the food was delicious? I Will definitely be coming back to eat in!

Best vegan food I've had!!! After a wander around the beautiful Shrewsbury, this place took my fancy . Offering vegan options on most of the meals I was pleasantly suprised and so I went for a vegan chicken burrito. It was delightful! I even asked for the brand of chicken to buy some on my next food trip. The chef and all servers were lovely and Im so sorry I couldnt tip at the timebut I will be back.. with my mates as i will be raving about you haha. Thank you so much, would definitely recommend

Actually a bit better than we'd expected. We went in early on a Sunday because we were going to a performance at Theatre Severn and they were serving food. The meals were okay, the drinks were okay (although the craft beers were aimed at a market younger than us, mind you the Old Market Hall is younger than me) but the overall impression was lifted by the staff who were all pleasant, informative and helpful.

The drinks and in particular the cocktails were great, but we felt we were an inconvenience to the waitress. Shame but probably won't go back as a result.

Fast service and pleasant cocktails

Friendly service and food was tasty. Lost a star as table was dirty, sticky, covered in previous diners food. No attempt to clean it. The room was very dark also.

Fun Salsa Classes Every Tuesday for beginners; 7.30 - 8.15 Discounted food and Cocktails for Dancers. Great service and Safe Environment...Great way to get fit, meet new friends and Learn something new...

Let’s go brass tacks, the burger made me duck and bone. Oof! Hummus? More like humdelicccccious. Will definitely cum to this battlecruiser again. Fnnnnar! Apples and pears guvnor. -EB It’s proper good mush, I tells ya… Best burger this side of London! -DM

Waited 40 minutes for drinks as the only customers in the bar, 3 milkshakes a draught pint and a diet coke. We were then told the soda pumps were broke - 35 minutes after we ordered it. Ordered some fried chicken, pictures are worth more than words so is this an £8 portion. They also then told us they can't refund us but will knock 20% off the drinks, after continuing to complain we got a refund and went elsewhere. Absolutely shocking, luckily we had a laugh about what a joke this place is.

Had milkshakes there with the fam on a Sunday afternoon. The milkshake was the best I'd ever had - biscoff with loads of flavour! Superb, and not so thick you can't really drink it. Kids had Oreo milkshakes which looked beast. And my wife's soy cappuccino was good too apparently! Wld deffo recommend, solely for the milkshakes 👍

Lovely little venue. Absolutely wonderful staff who were polite, accommodating and really made my first experience 5 star. Great live music and a chilled happy atmosphere.

Asked for a recommendation and found my new favourite drink. Brilliant atmosphere and lovely staff

Fantastic cocktails in a lovely environment great music gf rear staff

Nice place I think the price of drinks a bit steep but that is because I am an old foggy and very rarely drink cocktails but every body had a great time, the staff were all great too

Brilliant atmosphere great food The staff and management are fantastic 🍸🍷🍹🍾👍🏼

Went on a Wednesday for the open night mic, and had a really nice chilled out evening. Amazing vibes and relaxed atmosphere.

Bar based on "speciality" drinks, which is fine. But when promoting music you also need reasonable priced ales as well as cocktails, and not at over £5 a pint. Sound system for a music bar is poor. Trying to put instruments and vocals through the same small wall speakers, even using a small mixing board, doesn't work. Broken glass issue while there dealt with very badly. Barman given a dustpan, brush and blue paper roll to clear up and had to kneel amongst the glass to try and clear up. Obviously no training had been given and no bin given for glass shards to be put into but pan carried across the floor to the bar. Took three tries to clear the shards, from one glass. Bar not equipped to deal with this sort of accident.

Love the revamp from Pour House days. Works better as a bar. The best service anywhere right now, chilled live music evenings, fab afternoon milkshakes and cocktails to die for. My local and I’m glad of it (pups welcome too!)

Great vibes friendly atmosphere. Loved the live music from the local talents BRIDIE LEWIS BATES AND STARBOI SENSHI

Lovely relaxed safe atmosphere.enjoyef the music

Great milkshakes, staff really friendly and a lovely venue 👍

Live music and amazing milkshakes

Fantastic cocktails and service great food and covid secure. We had a great afternoon

Covid safe measures... we had rhe place to ourselves on a wet Sunday afternoon. Delicious chilli beef wraps and milkshakes 😋

Amazing staff and awesome food, nothing is too much trouble. Definitely will go again

Friendly cocktail bar with friendly staff. Excellent range of drinks on offer with something for all tastes. Also do great hot chocolate and milkshakes. Dogs are made very welcome!

The staff was very welcoming and accommodating even though we walked in with no prior booking. My son, nephew and my friends little girl enjoyed their milkshakes immensely. My friend and I had hot chocolate and it was lovely, my friend would have enjoyed it more if there had been gluten free option for milkshakes as she had heard it was available and suggested popping in.

Went to Thai-D upstairs and it was lovely. Service was great, food was even better. Great portion sizes and full of flavour. Continued to have a couple of drinks down stairs and was equally as nice.

Great atmosphere and beer, friendly staff, highly recommended.

Live DJs. Both of which went outside for a prolonged period of time to smoke and left a playlist on.

Excellent selection and service

Was asked to sit and wait as it was table service. Tried to sit down next to an 80s arcade machine table, couldn't get legs under it. Couldn't reposition heavy metal chair. Waited 10 minutes. No one came to take an order, so we left. Too trendy to be functional.

Really nice bar with a quirky, relaxed atmosphere. Very tasty Bloody Mary and a fine assortment of non-alcoholic cocktails. Great service too.

Lots of atmosphere, live music and lots of cocktail choices

Nice cocktail, very uncomfortable seats

Relaxed with great music. Friendly efficient service. Fantastic looking cocktails. Not so good on ale.

Great cocktails and live music. Will be returning very soon.

Lovley Expresso Martini we had and the bartender was polite and chatty

Just went in on the off chance, ok bar nice cocktails.....(Gorgeous waitress)

Just don't like it here but to be fair its usually busy so it must have something!!

Superb friendly staff and the drinks are spectacular!!

Good coffee but stand off ish staff who made me wait to order and pay even though not particularly busy.

Wonderful spot for a drink before heading to the theatre which is just across the road. Loads of choice of sprits and beers. Very friendly staff served drinks at the table. Menu is really informative with a good description of drinks. Great atmosphere inside. Nicely presented bar with some quirky displays. Parking available about 2 mins walk away.

Quirky place with a nice atmosphere and a large selection of drinks

Amazing drinks (especially milkshakes), if a little bit overpriced...but worth it if you want to treat yourself.

Amazing milkshakes, can't wait to try the cocktails

Lovely cocktails and milkshakes!

Dog friendly and the best mint hot chocolate ever

Lovely friendly atmosphere, definitely worth a visit if you're looking for a place for a couple of drinks with friends or one of their tasty calorific milkshakes! :)

Dog friendly only had drinks but the gin was very nice ...staff friendly......nice relaxing unusal pub.....also the milk shakes with cakes looked very nice

A perfect place to finish off a walk with your hounds! Super dog friendly and they do the most amazing hot chocolates!

Very chilled out fantastick bar staff highly recommend

Excellent hot chocolate and donoughts 🤤

Very slow service. Waited 30 minutes for 3 cocktails when the bar was very quiet. Staff were not friendly and the place lacked atmosphere

Poor service and over priced cocktails.

Great cocktails, chilled environment. Only down side is children are allowed in with families durung the day time.

Great vibe, great cocktails. Service wasn't 5* - we waiting quite a while for table service. Other than that, a pleasant experience

Lovely cocktail bar with great service. They also have a box if board games to play which is lots of fun. The cocktails are made very well and are well priced. Definitely a fun, funky place to go.

Lovely cocktail bar not for real ale drinkers!

Great service with a smile. Good value for money.

Yummy milkshakes and pretty interior design.

Wow just stunning cocktails and what a fantastic bar

Amazing atmosphere with tonnes of board games to play if you're bored! Delicious vegan milkshakes too 😍

Amazing drinks, well worth a visit!!

Went in with a group. Pretty standard modern bar, cocktails seemed to go down well. They don't like customers to sing, so probably best not to have too good a time!

Lovely cocktails and atmosphere in the evening. Also nice place to stop in the day for a smoothie, milkshake or other drink. They do huge milkshakes with loads of toppings

Could be my new favorite place. Excellent bloody Mary's

Great for a night out with the girls. Nice ambience and good choice of cocktails even at a rather steep £7.50 each!!! I'll definitely be going again 😁

If there was lunch or brunch would be 5 stars

Wonderful bar, brilliant staff & fab cocktails plus board games to play should you wish. It does get very busy but so worth it if you can get a table. Even the non alcoholic cocktails are worth a try.

Nice cocktails....and coffees in pleasant surroundings

Good atmosphere but no good if you want to drink good beer.

Lovely place for coffee and cake, great that our dogs were allowed in and given water and treats!

Great atmosphere and good coffee! Lovely staff too.

This must be the happiest place to get coffee in Shrewsbury. My girlfriend had the dirtiest shake on the menu and smiled for the whole day (sugar high). Definitely recommend this place for all ages.

Dunno! Coz I was in the 3rd place and then the Anchor , but that's the internet / GPS in Shrewsbury for ya !!! # medieval town !

Great milkshakes, atmosphere and service. Can feel crowded when not many in though

Went for a birthday drink, we waited for more than 30 minutes and were not given the drinks we ordered. It seems that they prioritise people at the bar’s orders.

Great place for a drink. Milkshakes are amazing

A cocktail bar where the staff prefer you to sit at tables and not the bar. A good atmosphere and service is good. Only one lager and one ale on offer.

William Pitt Coffee cocktail is outrageously good

Probably the best cocktail I've ever had at The Pour House. Chilled vibe, impressive decor and friendly staff. A bit pricey but other than that a fantastic establishment.

This is ok for a one off very basic set up and exceedingly expensive for what it is

Great place come here a lot really good staff can certainly make a good cocktail should ban all dogs where you eat

A great cafe for a Sunday cuppa and piece of cake after a walk round the park. Or, have a cocktail, awesome milkshakes, and many more. The Pour House was a great surprise with great staff and service, an ambiance perfect for Sunday afternoons and music that blended in to the environment perfectly. My Gingerbread Latte had great flavour and the 'Gin & Tonic' botanical flavour cake was sensational. Great for yourself, bring your loved ones. I'm told in the evening it becomes a different place, live music and a great way to start and end any night out.

Very fun atmosphere but pretty pricey drinks.

They do some good drinks, the service is friendly but they can loose track of orders and it is a very hipster place

Interesting cafe, during the day services milkshake and hot drinks then at night it's a cocktail bar, interesting decor gives a grunge chic look. Drinks are fantastic with unusual concoctions/ flavours. Staff very friendly.

Great looking bar, friendly staff and good deals on cocktails. Well worth a visit

Took five of my grandchildren for a milkshake their ages ranging from 2 to 13 was very disappointed to see and smell a woman smoking a vapour cigarette inside whilst drinking coffee she could see i was not impressed and not once did any of the staff ask her to stop smoking even though it had no smoking on the door .
