Warm and comforting

Not many pubs are better on the inside than out, but the Boot is. Good range of well-kept beers, fast and efficient service, and a range of food and snacks. Various music offerings at certain times of the week. As more and more pubs in St Albans turn into cafés or restaurants, this is a welcome, quality drinking establishment. [Aug 11]

Good open mic night twice a month

We stumbled across a fun, unpretentious open mic night in the Boot last night (held 1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month). We enjoyed the music with a few pints from a well stocked bar of guest ales and ciders. A cracking town centre pub, but be careful if you're tall, the 16th century ceiling isn't. [Nov 09]

local atmosphere and free cheese and biscuits!

A cosy pub with a traditional feel right next to the clock tower. A big smile from the bar person when we walked in. I had Adnams Explorer which was good. We had a cosy spot with a large armchair, marred slightly by being under the speaker, but we could have moved I guess! There was cheese and biscuits laid out for us to help ourselves which was a lovely touch. I notice they are doing an organic soup kitchen in the day, which sounds great. [Apr 09]
