The Albion, Penarth in The Vale of Glamorgan

Went on Sunday afternoon to watch a nice live solo performer. Landlord was happy and very helpful. Recommen it

Only went to see the singer / guitarist. Wasn't disappointed. We will return and recommend to others. Bar staff were very efficient, SA beer was superb.

Had a fantastic night out at the Albion with live entertainment and a great atmosphere .

Just like it used to be finally 😀

First time visiting this pub I was very impressed by the atmosphere and live music on the weekend. staff friendly and chatty, will definitely be visiting the first weekend of august.

Best pub in Penarth great staff great pint of Guinness from Andy

Lovely friendly pub, great atmosphere and has some really good acts, definitely recommend

Popped in on the weekend, great little clean pub with a fantastic atmosphere especially with the sport being on, great prices too!! 😁 even stayed for the band which was outstanding and the staff made us feel very welcome as was there all day

Great friendly pub, with a great atmosphere and a lovely ethos. The Albion is in a great location. Bartenders are very friendly and efficient. Fantastic bands on a Saturday night. Big well done to Lianne and all the staff for working so hard and bringing this pub back up to its full potential

Excellent live music, great atmosphere and staff are amazing.

Fantastic pub.. great staff and great atmosphere!!

Great pub, lovely and clean with a great atmosphere. I will be back!

When I've been to listen to a band it's always been good, great atmosphere and good staff. I've only given two stars because it is so frustrating trying to find out which band is playing. Facebook not updated each week and phoning very hit or miss.

Best sunday dinner ever staff always happy and polite great beer and larger will have dinner there every sunday

Lovely to see this fabulous pub back on its feet, great service , outstanding music venue awesome bands. Staff are very welcoming, New management have clearly turned this fabulous venue around.

Great music venue, spotless and great service

Cheaper now the new people are running it, and you get a smile now instead of a snarl. Update: The beer prices are now competitive but house wine by the glass is way overpriced. Over £5 for a medium glass of Pinot doesn't stack up.

Far better than most pubs. Less rip offs than other pubs. Great service. Great price. Left my local bc they ripped me off due to new management. £1 4 pool and £1 4 5 tunes on the jukebox. Awesome staff. This will be my new local I think.

Served Brains beer so stayed for a drink. No hot drinks available though on a cold day. No kitchen so drinks only.Very basic pub but clean, landlady friendly enough

Friendly local pub with a nice atmosphere and pool table. Quite cheap too!

Old fashioned type pub but great for a quick drink.

Fantastic local pub in Penarth. Had live music on which was great. Good atmosphere and great value beer prices.

Tuesday nights open Mike with Tony morely. Gets very busy

A great night - the band were excellent... Thank you for an entertaining evening....

Proper pub, great atmosphere, good service and fab music venue :-)

Arrived Saturday about 10.45pm to listen to music, unfortunately it finished at 11pm. What we did hear was good. Nice full pub, lucky found a seat and sat with friends for an hour. Service was good.

Great night great singer brilliant atmosphere

Don't know about food, but a great pub that needs support.

Went to see a band on the pubs reopening the place was rammed and a fantastic time was has by all

Just a quick thumbs up for The Albion Pub. Went to a gig there last night “The Hiraeth” band. Very good band. Atmosphere was really good. Nick the Landlord is a really nice gentleman whom I talked with. Thanks for booking of all the music acts Nick, you’re very good to do that. All the best. I will definitely go there again.

There was an open mic type thing going on, lots of talented people taking part, lovely atmosphere, looking at going again 30th April 4-7 pm

Friendly warm oasis. Good beers. Lively music.

Excellent atmosphere, music and Open Mic every week. 🕊💖🕊

Friendly pub with a quality service. Our band gigged here and had a great time.

We enjoyed the cover band . It was a busy atmosphere. The company was class A 👌

A nice pub, quick service on a busy night that I visited and live music on Saturdays which is fab.

Great venue for live music. Warm and friendly atmosphere.

A fantastic pub in Penarth which frequently has live music . Peter the barman provides great friendly service and makes awesome cocktails. The locals are also friendly which all adds up to a wonderful atmosphere and an awesome night out .

Good pub, goid range of draught beers. Friendly staff. Regular live music. Great for a dance and sing-a-long.

Best live music around, the occasional kidnapping and a partridge in a pear tree. A pubs a pub, but this is one of the last good ones. I cant speak for the food because I've never had it, but the atmosphere is always tidy, the managers a nice guy and its not far from other pubs, which is good if you wanna get totally lashed. Can't go wrong. 5 stars.

Great atmosphere and very nice staff hopefully we'll play there again... great pub !!

Great beer. Great atmosphere. Lovely local people. Always go and sit on my own in corner and get no trouble. Even on a quiet evening a pleasure to relax there. A good band on this Saturday.

Friendly & inviting pub, the evening we visited there was a live band. Would visit again.

Not been for a long time but still a lovely place, great atmosphere and friendly team.

Great pub with great live music

Over priced, no atmosphere and grumpy staff

Good night out friendly cheerful and polite staff

Fantastic pub waiting for the music open mic

A special pub, great landlord and staff. What a pub should be!

It was good to see the band back

Beer is not that good. Maybe the new ownership will sort it out. It's a pub nothing special really!

Great layout and friendly staff. Good pub for watching live bands. Recommended.

great community pub well done mark

Great music events , good ale, nice atmosphere

Nice pub, shame we were the only ones there tonight!!, but as a result, no waiting for service...that's gotta be a reason to go.

Preferred it before the refurbishment

Great night, live band was fantastic

Good beer and a very friendly atmosphere

Great little pub. .good prices great music. Good night out

Great pub. Friendly staff. Quality of beer is good. They have live music usually every week and some of the bands have been truly epic. When busy the atmosphere is seriously fantastic. We also like popping in when it is quieter for a sneaky pint. Overall, great place.

Good place to watch a band, bar staff are very friendly

Great local pub and the live music is brilliant

Not a terrible pub, everything is fairly priced but be prepared to wait when it’s busy (when theres a band on) by all accounts the landlord would rather stand around than get his hands dirty.

Superb place, lovely staff and good live music.

Fantastic pub fantastic staff and service highly recommend this venue

First time here. Very nice pub reasonable priced. Friendly owner

The Albion pub in Penarth is a absolutely brilliant place to go and chil out on a Thursday evening because they have live bands to listen to

Revamped good local pub that's also dog friendly

Excellent quality ale and very good music

Nice atmosphere pity theydidnt have coffee !!!!!! A coffee machine on display but that's all !!!!!

Had a great time at the midweek comedy night at The Albion. Mike Bubbins, the star turn, was hilarious. Admittedly my late 40s friends and I were target demographics but there was a lot there for everyone. Patchy support acts, with one in particular to my taste, is par for the course but everyone had some good stuff to contribute to a really good midweek night out. Keep it going The Albion. Cheers.

Nice modern pub with good beer and great pizzas.

Live music Thursday evenings. Nice crowd

Great atmosphere and a nice pub. Seen quite a few great bands here

Bar area crowded leaning over people to get served

Change management place is going downhill you need someone proactive, this guy just sits around doing nothing, such a pity after all that investment

Giving it 5 stars as staff introduced us to Death South music ☺ thank you!

A lovely atmosphere such a pity that even though refurbished there are NO Disabled toilets and no Disabled Access!

This Public house centre of Penarth has had a more than a face lift. Certainly a younger feel to it. Yet comfortable areas for older ones. Consistantly Good Guiness. They keep their beer pipes clean. Good sign of good management.. care about the cystomer..

This old haunt attracts a lively crowd on the weekend, & when the footy or rugby is on. The Albion has changed & evolved with the times over the years, it was my late father's local for a good number of years back in the late 70's. It's popular with locals still, & attracts all walks of life & a great atmosphere.

Shame the band was cancelled spoilt it for a number of people

Great place for a pint, watch some sport or listen to live music.

Good people ,good beer, good music, what more do u want ?

Great staff, good atmosphere and live music wat else dyou need.

Excellent pub excellent refurbished great staff

Very nicely done up inside, but it can get very loud

Disappointed. Refeb does not create friendly environment. Staff look as if it is an effort just to be here. Burger half the size of the uncooked bun.

Very friendly pub with free live music on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. Pub has had a complete refurbishment as of October 2017. Lots of great changes, with the addition of bar food. Unfortunately even on less busy occasions, the bar staff are unable to cope with demand. Perhaps poor performance will be so annoying that eventually customers will decrease to the point that the staff can cope!

Craft and cask? A Stella line up of carling, strongbow and peroni, augmented with a chemically tainted Barry island IPA does not constitute craft and cask. Poor show and essentially false advertising.

Nice little pub. I went for a funeral wake, friendly staff, good service and good beer.

Free live bands on Friday & Saturday 9pm - 11pm

Good local pub ,has weekly open miles night

Great for live music beer is brains

Friendly locals..atmosphere and staff..great live music

Good atmosphere - good selection of beers. Live music Fri - Sat nights. Quiz - Sun night.
