The Jolly Sailor

Never go here. My girlfriend and I wanted to do some karaoke, but instead found ourselves worrying for our lives. I will be excluding the patrons, one of which accused me of sweating too much, despite being under a spotlight in an over capacity room. The smoking area had its own bouncer. I say this because one of the owners refused people access to the smoking area if they had a drink. Never mind she was standing there sharing a beer with her friend. Then she said there was not enough space outside, even though there were 7 empty tables outside and 14 people waiting for fresh air! During our stay, a fight broke out among 50% of the pub, to which the DJ just said another night at the Jolly Sailor! . The staff even remarked it was common place to stop serving for 5 minutes because of a fight, then start again, despite no one being kicked out. One woman was on the floor, clearly knocked out, though the staff made no attempt to move her. I fact, people stood over her whilst the bar staff served them! Don 't go. It 's terrifyingly tragic in there.

This Charles Wells pub is tucked away from St Albans’ centre at Stonecross; the junction of Sandridge Road and Harpenden Road. It underwent a major refurbishment in 2008, which shaped the current internal layout a large, busy public bar, a quieter saloon and a heated outdoor smoking area. The 'Jolly ', as it is known, is a proper community pub. It hosts a golf society and pool darts teams. Also quiz and karaoke nights! Traditional pub food and bar snacks compliment a good range of well kept ales. Personally I prefer The Mermaid but I can see why this pub is a popular choice.

Just a quick stop over as I'm working in the area. Had ham, egg and about five choices of potatoes! Lovely meal and I bet there's a great atmosphere later in the evening.
