Real ale discount scheme

This is a club, which means that the bar may be only open to members.

Friendly and long-established CIU-affiliated social club serving a part of St Albans with few other real ale options. A warm welcome awaits card-carrying CAMRA members who can use the bar facilities as guests. A large function room at the back, complete with a stage, is available for hire. Uniquely in St Albans, the club boasts a bar billiards table, while other entertainment provisions include a pool table, several dart boards and juke box. Unfortunately the snooker hall at the rear is currently out of commission although the club's management aim to refurbish this in the future. Awarded South Herts CAMRA's Club of the Year award on multiple occasions.

Historic Interest

Situated in College Road, the club was established in 1936 as the College Club. Following a licensing issue in 1952, it was re-launched with a new identity, taking the name "Royston" from another nearby street.
