56 St Peters Street, St Albans, Hertfordshire, AL1 3HG
The Blacksmith Arms is a centrally located St Albans pub with a strong sporting focus and relaxed, family-oriented atmosphere. It's known for a superb selection of cask ales and traditional ciders, backed by Cask Marque approval. The standout feature is the beer garden — claimed as "possibly the best garden around" — complete with outdoor seating and HD screens for live sport. The pub also hosts live music, runs a function space (The Forge, an external cabin) for parties and corporate events, and serves food at competitive prices. Later in the evening it shifts toward an older crowd, with age restrictions after 8pm (under-18s) and 21+ policy Friday–Sunday post-8pm.
