What User likes about The Black Boy:
great local pub just fucked by a main street. large beer garden and under the cover smoker area. this pub has always a lot inside and really friendly staff. on Monday they have a biker night where the owner buys in pizza and snacks for biker and the re-election is always good! highly recommended when they are in watford, bricket wood or st albans. View all feedback. What RMP87 doesn't like about The Black Boy:
Neighbour recommended nice pub decorative wise but the swearing was bad and unnecessary from men perched at the bar. One of the barmaids chewed gum throughout the time we were there cant remember last time we saw that in a pub very unpleasant and rude. View all feedback.

The Boy is always bustling and full of life. It is one of my top choices for a pub in St Albans. I give the service a 5/5 and the atmosphere a 5/5 as well.
