We believe our building was originally a hotel called The Railway Hotel, with The Midland Railway hotel on the opposite side of the road, and both being positioned next to St Albans City Station. The hotel used to have the occasional band or acts perform back in the 60’s, then in the early 70’s the site changed to a public house called The Horn of Plenty.
During the 70’s it became known as a great live music venue, and was run by Bob Andrews and then by Vinnie Jones mum! We are not sure about owners or managers of the site during the 80’s and early 90’s (but if you have any info please let us know).
In 1994 The Horn of Plenty underwent refurbishment, changing its name to The Horn Reborn. The venue was refurbished in 2007 and renamed simply as The Horn and has subsequently won UK Music Pub of the Year twice and UK Entertainment Pub Of The Year.
In 2012 the Horn underwent yet another refurbishment hopefully ensuring the future of the venue for many years to come!
Everyone connected to the site past and present are proud to have been part of this historic venue which has helped local acts such as Paul Young, The Subways, Enter Shikari, Friendly Fires, Gallows and many more by providing somewhere for them to develop their craft.

The horn is a nice pub, the venue on the other hand is not very friendly to small bands who don't have much of a following yet.
Great pub near the st albans station . They do have some good food and lots of options for drinks . They do have vegetarian choices too .
Good pub that does live music. We went on a ‘barrioke’ night. Barry from east Enders doing karaoke. Very surreal. They have a back room that can be closed off for music events . The gents urinals are a bit different too!
Great grass roots venue and seen many a band here. Midweek slots need better promotion and earlier stage times though. Been a staple of local music scene for a very long time.
Firstly, great music venue. I've seen some crackin bands here. Second THE KITCHENS OPEN AGAIN! The food is epic and the new menu is so good. Popped in for lunch and had the Thai pork belly burger from this week's specials menu. Juicy and flavour was spot on. Highly recommend you check it out
