The VibeIt’s not often I find myself in Fitzrovia, but a recent trip to The Albany promised to change that. The airy gastro pub occupies a blue-painted corner of Great Portland Street, nestled right by Regent’s Park – ideal for a post-date park stroll.The OrderIt’s Saturday morning, and L and I need something to take the edge off our respective hangovers. There are some welcome surprises on The Albany’s brunch menu, such as cinnamon sourdough toast and a delicious-sounding chorizo hash, although the monster hangovers dictate we opt for the Proper Breakfast and Vegetarian Breakfast respectively. No dainty portions here – our plates are barely visible beneath the bounteous helpings of breakfast fodder. Notable mentions go to the Cherry Orchard sausages and their veggie counterparts, as well as the ingenious additions of potato rosti and sourdough bread. Forget Alka-Seltzer – this is the cure.The GameInside, it’s refreshingly pared-back, devoid of trendy taxidermy or ubiquitous mid-century furniture. There are twinkling chandeliers, a generous number of dark wood tables, and a general sense that you’re in a lovely London pub that’s neither posh nor pretentious. Downstairs, in the pub’s basement bar The Other Place, things get a little more hipster – but not off-puttingly so. There’s live music, burgers and something called Ukulele Wednesday – where lovers of the four-stringed instruments can play along in unison (beginners welcome).The FaultsIt’s a little quiet on a Saturday morning, but my throbbing head was glad for it. And I have it on good authority that it’s decidedly abuzz on weekdays.Sex Factor
Nice open plan pub with a good selection of beers. A good mix of people from locals, to workers, to students. All chilled. Nice sounds, friendly staff and a bar in the basement too. Wine was never chilled enough, but a couple of ice cubes can help that. House wine is good.
The venue was a delight and Brogan was excellent throughout our evening! She made sure our table was clear and we were never dehydrated. Top stuff
Such good service and energy made my Monday evening great. Honestly can’t imagine being served by anyone else
Gideon is an absolute star. Meantime on tap needs to be brought asap but great atmosphere all the same !
