The Albion is a very special place. Steeped in history this 17th Century Coach House is one of Clifton’s most popular dining and drinking establishments and has remained so for over 250 years since its opening in the 1760s.
Thomas Boyce acquired land on Clifton Hill and spent £8000 building accommodation for the wealthy visitors who flocked to the spa for the season. Built in the late 1760s for stabling of coach and horses for the visitors. The Albion is most likely named after a 200 ton ship built at that time in the Bristol shipyards, owned by Davis and Protheroe and launched in 1778 under the name of The Albion.

We went to the Albion to try their fish and chips and we were not disappointed!!. The atmosphere was great and our server was excellent. Definitely recommend if you're in the Bristol area and need to grab a bite to eat.
Nothing but good vibes in this pub. Met by a gentleman at the entrance who quickly found us a suitable table. The interior has a really warm atmosphere - muted lighting, worn wood furniture, and a non-rowdy customer base. The table service was efficient, you even order drinks from your seat. We had a number of starters including the scotch egg and the brie which were both delicious. I then had the tomato burrata salad (see photo) which was equally tasty. Really recommend.
Absolute gem of Clifton Village! The best atmosphere, sun-trap beer garden, great selection of beers and ciders and super friendly and helpful staff. All in all best place for any kind of gathering and get together time. Highly recommend booking ahead of the visit as they operate table service only and it can get quite busy
Nestled in a quiet corner is The Albion, a charming 17th-century village pub that offers more than just beers and British meals - it serves up an enchanting slice of history. My gastronomic journey here was headlined by arguably one of the best fish and chips in town, crafted with exquisitely battered haddock. Each bite was a testament to the mastery of classic British cuisine, reminding me why this dish is a perennial favourite. The great tartar sauce deserves a special mention too. A chilled pint was the perfect accompaniment to the meal, and nothing beats savouring a cold, frothy IPA in a place that oozes history and character. In sum, our visit to The Albion was not only enjoyable but also well worth the investment. This rustic pub, with its tasty fare and a fine selection of beers, reaffirms why it remains a gem in the village. Don't miss out!
Fabulous old pub near Clifton Arcade. Lovely day so sat outside. The service was exemplary and we were made very welcome. Lunch snacks scotch eggs, sausage roll and breaded brie were all great quality and value. Had a lovely time particularly our conversations with Joe.
