Albion in Stoke-on-Trent

Good old fashioned pub. Circular bar. Pool table. Music. Polite staff.

Can't knock the atmosphere but the service is so slow it needs double drinks when ordering (upto 6pm) after 6pm on a weekend ur fightin for a drink cos they serve who they want to

Brilliant host brilliant bloke great time I wanted go home but couldn't cuz the gaff was so mint

Great staff, great owner, never been to a better pub. Lovely place to get a drink.

Old style pub. Quiet space with a nice patio in the backyard

Tried to go in today to be told I wasn’t allowed by the owner who then told me “it’s my pub and I’ll let in who I like, I don’t recognise you and there are people inside trying to have a nice drink” Well good for them, thankfully I don’t drink alcohol and only wanted to see if my father was in there but you had to go down the bad attitude route. You’re in the wrong business and you also shouldn’t assume everyone’s the same 👍🏼 Update: this was around 11am before any “violent public disturbances” but your camera and audio will confirm that. You were letting people in but you wouldn’t let me and my son in because we are not regulars, so I’d say you are the one make exceptions. Im glad you feel disappointed 👍🏼

Had a great time watching the footie

When to the pub Wednesday 26/6/24 , Stood at the bar with wife, totally ignored by bar staff, who share regular a beer before use , i work for the pub company as relief after run a Marstons pub for 8 years, i would never ignore the people at the bar as it’s next customer please We did not get a drink whet to the next pub great service

This is the only REAL EXISTING pub left in a town that makes me feel sad now , remembering it's HeyDay,please SOT Council can we have our Hankey back As for the Albion , please don't change

Great atmosphere. Very nice staff Good place to stop for few🍺

Friendly service good pint nice snug areas

Fast friendly service that I love on my visits to Stoke - Sian was wonderful, chatty and the reason I’ll return again soon

I only go in the daytime but been at night

I love this pub. It's Friendly, plays decent music (not so loud you can't chat) has a varied but chatty crowd and a pool table...what's not to love ?

Same as always ok no more no less

Nice big old pub in the middle of Stoke. Nice old music and good beer.

Popped in on the way home and had a very enjoyable visit. Quick service and reasonable price for a quality beer.

Don't bother. The manager is a tyrant. I'm partially deaf so people have to speak up when talking and I apparently speak loud too to hear myself ( go figure) and he was absolutely disgusting. Tell us to be quieter .... clearly impossible. The way he treated me and my husband was vile. I won't be going there again. And ya can smell the toilets and they were filthy toilet paper every where 🤢 no food is served in this Venu. Who ever granted his license need to have a word ex copper or not. Ya don't treat people like crap. And ex police officer own this pub be aware he will phone the police over a £1

Very quiet pub now , weekend DJ is only appreciated by themselves, need to get back the party atmosphere they used to have , staff are ok , but the pub has lost its let's say mojo

Bit grubby, needed waders in the toilets But safer inside than out, tramp city

Me and my Dad's favourite place to come in Hanley

Nice old town pub friendly people

Smelt of urine immediately.Lots of heavy drinkers present. Such a lovely building. Quite sad really. Making money out of those with alcohol issues.

Called in for the first time as karaoke was advertised was made welcome by all the staff who were very friendly and helpful it was really busy we had a great time the choice of drinks was very good and reasonably priced will definitely return

Myself and 3 friends called into the Albion after shopping in Hanley it was very busy but we were served very quickly Daran served us and he was so welcoming and friendly there was such a large selection of gins at very reasonable prices and he explained offers available plus it was a lovely sunny day and we sat outside in the large beer garden which looked great we noticed there was rock and roll advertised on Friday afternoons and one of the regulars said it was always really good so we will definitely be going back soon.

Great night, friendly staff, great music Lots of great drinks offers! And shots!! Can’t wait to see you all again 👍

A brilliant pub in the centre of Hanley! I attended a function in the fab upstairs room and thought the staff and atmosphere were great. Thoroughly recommended!

Cracking atmosphere at the albion last Saturday visited with friends from Stoke. Massive sun trap beer garden and decent drinks offers 👌 staff are friendly see you all again soon. X

Really like the Albion. Decent pint at a good price. Pool table and great background music. One of my favourites in Hanley.

Fantastic pub, nice pint, great selection of drinks lovely Staff and management and really clean. Will definitely visit again when we are back that way

Well what can I say, Steve and Darren are a breath of fresh air, funny, chatty with customers, nothing is to much trouble for them, the lines are well cleaned, and the beer was perfect, the overall cleanliness of the pub was fantastic, it smells fresh and the place had such a lovely calming atmosphere, we will definitely be going back again what a brilliant time we had, keep up the good work guys you are smashing it x

Had a pint of guiness, about inch and a half of head. Very dark head as well. Tasted quite acidic. Pub it's self had 1 other punter and there and the bar hand.

For some reason this place only allows small dogs on the premises.....it's simple a dog is a dog.....you either allow dogs in or you don't......

Great pub big part of my life really welcoming can't beat it Sunday especially

Old style proper pub with no frills.

Proper boozer, good pint of Guinness

One of the best pubs around 'Anley price is friendly,so as the atmosphere

Kira Mac, what a fantastic voice 🥰. Had a great time in the Albion. Highly recommended. Go see her you won’t be disappointed 😁

Not a bad boozer. Noisy on a weekend so that's not for me. Still generally a decent pub

Bit rough around the edges but excellent beer and price

Great heritage pub with revolving door to enter. Two real ales. Banks Amber quality beer. Recommended

I have used the Albion since after lockdown, and most of my friends drink here as well that I knew in Wetherspoons now. It's a cosy, friendly place and probably the warmest pub in Hanley. So, for me paying the bit extra for beer is worth it to keep warm. It's the main pub I use in Hanley now, because on the whole, you are less likely to get idiots in there.

Great place friendly staff n locals . Good selection of beer wine n spirits Definitely worth a visit

Sian and Darren and the rest of the bar staff are absolutely amazing. The atmosphere is really welcoming. Love my nights out here. The revolving door is a must for anyone. There is something for everyone . Definitely worth a visit

Sian is the best bar maid ever x

Wonderful friendly pub with good beer To be recommended as a great old type Public House

Great pub with well priced drinks and entertainment in town location.

Girls night out to see Saturday Night Fever & we popped in for a cheeky glass of fizz - great fun, friendly bar girls & poptastic music 🎶 luv this bar x

A lovely pub with a great vibe. Nice drinks, pool and music. Couldn't ask for more.

Absolutely banging night and the best staff.

Absolutely the best pub in town

Such a welcoming place. Couldn’t recommend the Albion more

It's been along time iv been in this pub but it was a gd atmosphere,staff were polite I felt comfortable with my dear friend I would go again there,thank you 2 the staff who was on on that day

The best pub I have ever come across in the UK. The pub has the best manager and staff who have the best customer service skills I have ever come across. Also they have a great selection of drinks to chose from and the place holds a style of what a traditional pub should look like. If you want to be able to relax and talk to the local punters then look no further and come and have a pint in the Albion pub in the town centre.

Have only been here 3 times; early doors. I like the Music. The drinks are good value and there's a friendly atmosphere. I'm bringing my Friend with me, on Monday. ☺

Fantastic night all the way through, great service and friendly staff!

Breaking the dance floor @theAlbion with DJ wilb throwing out the tunes..awesome time awesome place to be let's get it 😜

Great place. You can have a pint while waiting on your bus home due to the bus station being over the road.

What you expect from a boozer, great garden

I went in, I cannot remember the pub truth be told

Great friendly atmosphere, staff always ready to help

Brilliant pub! Service incredible, was served by kez, lovely atmosphere incredible staff

Old Fashioned Pub and lovely staff.

The albion is a great pub with a good selection of alcohol and music. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. My overall experience at the albion made me feel like it's the only place worth going to hanley for. I'll definetely be back!

It’s not just a pub too me anymore. It’s become a friendly environment and a second home. The staff have become family. They mean the world to me, I know I can always go there whenever I’m not feeling good emotionally. And the staff will always be there for me. And they understand that I have a learning disability and they still acknowledge me as a person and don’t treat me any different… I don’t always go the Albion to drink. I go because I feel appreciated and accepted. And the atmosphere is amazing and people are brilliant. But mainly the staff are amazing and are my second family love them all…. Shout out to Kezza! You absolute legend. Kyle

this pub is amazing, amazing staff and great nights outs for drinking 🤩

Cracking place for a pint and the bar staff are sound

The Albion is a brill place to meet up with friends.

It’s not just a pub to me anymore, it’s become a friendly environment, hell it’s a second home. the staff have become family. I don’t always go in the Albion to drink alcohol. I know if I go there now, and I’m not feeling right emotionally I know I can go there and the staff will always come up to me or I’ll go over to them and they’ll always lift my spirits and make me feel well emotionally. Think the world of everyone there. Hell love them all… As always amazing atmosphere, brilliant people. Never gonna change… Shout out to my main girl Kezza. Kyle.

Nice traditional pub.Barmaid very friendly.... Good range of beers at competitive prices.... great central location...

Absolutely the best bar in town, the only bar in town that I feel comfortable in, from the staff to the DJ! Favourite place in hanley!🥰🥰

Havnt been for a while bar staff friendly obvs no d.j n not much atmosphere ...maybe we picked a bad night ??

Always have a good night here love the music

Decided to try out The Albion over the long Jubilee weekend and see if their recent makeover had removed the traditional pub charm of its revolving door, Minton tiled bar floor surround & stain-glass panels… I was so pleased that none of the original features I love about this pub had been changed, even down to the fireplace in the small snug-like side room I’d missed on previous visits Staff as chatty & friendly as usual & the band they had on were good, but maybe a little too easy listening for a Friday night party - but still had a great night!

Good pub, good booze. Staff could be a tad bit more friendly to 'non-regulars', but all around. Pretty good.

Nice place to go for a quiet drink with friends.

Absolutely fantastic night with brilliant entertainment and prices, definitely the place to be!

Amazing atmosphere, great staff! Always an amazing night in the Albion!

Nice friendly place, Good service 👍

Love the place.Staff r great music is excellent.

Went into the pub for a quick drink to kill some time, the staff were really friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was lovely will be popping in again

Lovely pub, great drink selection, staff very welcoming, good atmosphere, good service, definitely will be returning in the future.

Always pop in here for a swift one whilst shopping in town, I always feel welcome and the staff are lovely. See you all next time I'm in town

Great staff, dj, pool table and friendly punters. Really enjoyed myself

A lovely traditional bar in the heart of the city, keeping a really nice 'local' pub feel and not a hint of Sky Sports or loud booming music, thanks mainly to Steve, Daran, Deb and their fab & friendly bar team (keeping the low-lives out) serving a great pint in clean surroundings, which has encouraged many of the regulars to return since the lads took over in 2015. The Albion is a warm & welcoming safe place, whether you're taking 20 minutes out of your day for yourself, reading a paper or just relaxing, through to catching up with family and friends, mates after work or getting your weekend started. Located close to the Victoria and Regent theatres, Hanley bus station and the emerging Cultural Quarter, The Albion has two of the city's best kept secrets! The first is a real hidden gem - their HUGE beer garden with seating for over 120 people, a covered smoking patio, large weatherproof marquee fitted with heating & lights - PLUS new for 2022, an outside bar with a BBQ!! The second hidden gem is their first floor function room - the perfect city centre location for parties, wedding receptions, meetings and more. Complete with its own private bar, PA sound system, outdoor smoking terrace and toilets. If you've not been in The Albion recently, you really are missing out

Good warm friendly atmosphere and a good selection of ales and spirits, beer garden and wheelchair friendly

Another top night on Friday at the albion. DJ was fab and friendly. Good choice of drinks and super friendly staff. Be back again soon 😄

It's a good night out Cheap drinks and friendly atmosphere. This is my first time at the albiin for a night out. When searching for it on Google the Times of business are confusing I'm not sure if Sunday - Thursday they close at 10 then Friday they are open till midnight. Its a great pub to start the night and a great pub if you decide to stay all night.

A nice place to go for a drink. The staff there were pleasant and the atmosphere likewise. They have a pool table there(which is always a bonus(in my opinion lol).

Great pub visiting from west Bromwich in Midlands defo coming back 👌

Changed alot since i was last in few years ago..Friendly fair priced. Done the lounge up nice.

Friendly service and good atmosphere

Nice old English style pub. Not a lot of choice real ale wise.

Always an interesting night, good service.

Friendly staff, friendly regulars, really, really cheap beer…….£2.60 a pint, lowest I’ve paid in lord knows how long (might’ve been cheaper…..I had quite a few at this price!!). Pool table and cues are in really good condition too…..both a bit of a rarity in Pubs with pool tables nowadays. If ever I’m back in Stoke, I’ll be back to the Albion!

Yea, still can't beat The Albion for a *Real Pub* experience , clean , Simple snacks (Baps) , it's easy on the pocket too .

It's no different than it was in 1985 when I first went in , I call that BRILL !! You feel like your in a Boozer rather than McDonald's on draught

Cheap and cheerful staff are always very friendly and welcoming but the smell of urine throughout the pub is very off putting

Friendly staff and cheap drinks,all good.

Change from a fiver. Pubs ok and they had a DJ playing some 80's muzik.
