Blue Scrumpy left this review about Robin Hood
Another pub close to St Albans City railway station, I last visited the Robin Hood in 2018 on a busy Saturday afternoon when locals were watching the rugby. This time, on a Friday afternoon with no sporting events, it was much quieter with just a handful of locals propping up the bar.
There is a wide area at the front, before the room narrows to make way for the bar, before widening out again at the rear, where a larger space overlooks a garden.
The pub is a regular in the Good Beer Guide and has previously been the local CAMRA pub of the year. Harvey's Sussex Best Bitter is the regular beer. Guests on for our visit were Greene King Abbot & Tring Pearly Pale. To the side of the bar is a large selection of boxed ciders - Weston's Rosie's Pig & Old Rosie, Sandford Orchards Devon Red, Devon Mist & Slack Ma Girdle, Abrahall's Lily The Pink, Snail's Bank Orchard Dry & Pig Squeal, Thatcher's Stan's Cheddar Valley, Kent Cider Company Greenhorn, Lilley's Cherries and Berries & Rich's Farmhouse Medium was the range.
The cider selection is certainly impressive and probably explains why the pub is current Cider Pub of the Year. However, there was nothing I hadn't had before. So, I opted for the Pearly Pale, which was a decent beer.
One of the best pubs in St Albans, especially for cider drinkers, but with only one slightly unusual beer, I'll keep my score to a 7/10.

A mid terrace pub,opened out inside with a large bay window to the front,below which are a set of high tables with pine flooring.Going back into the building there is a juke box,a table skittles game and an upright piano before a carpeted rear extension with french windows onto the beer garden. A flatscreen was showing an FA cup game ,while the welcome from behind the bar was friendly.
Pump clips on the wall shows an ale rotation policy and on my trip the three handpumps were offering Harvey's Sussex Best,Wadworth Horizon and Wantsum Hurricane (decent,NBSS 3.5).
Worth popping in ,the interior is tidy if rather clinical yet I had a decent pint.

A single roomed traditional pub within striking distance of the train station, carpeted floor and practically furnished with sensible height tables and chairs. Three handpumps with some steady journeyman beers on, my Harveys Sussex Best was in decent form, nothing special but decent enough.
