About The Alb

Make this year’s Christmas party unforgettable at The Alb, a vibrant tapas bar and restaurant located in the heart of Shrewsbury. Combining historic charm with a modern twist, The Alb is the ultimate destination for festive celebrations offering flexible spaces, indulgent food, and a warm, buzzing atmosphere. Whether you’re hosting an intimate dinner or a cocktail soirée, The Alb has the perfect setup to suit your group.

With five unique spaces available for private hire, The Alb caters to groups of all sizes. For smaller gatherings, The Snug - a secret room tucked behind a bookcase - offers privacy and charm, seating up to 12 guests. The Conservatory, with its lush greenery and relaxed vibe, seats up to 20 and is ideal for informal celebrations. The Bar area, featuring large booths and a lively atmosphere, is perfect for groups who want to toast the season in style. For larger parties, the upstairs Restaurant and Cove can host up to 60 people standing or 45 seated guests, combining cosy booths with a festive party vibe.

The Alb’s usual menu is indulgent and full of crowd favourites, so you can expect a festive menu to match, offering flavourful dishes perfect for sharing and celebrating. The team are also known for their creative and quirky cocktails like the Mary Jane with Mango Absolut, limoncello, chartreuse, lime, mango, cream and Oreo Crumb, so we have our fingers crossed for some new Christmas specials. Plus, if you want to add some extra fun and an interactive element to your party, you can also book a cocktail making class for up to two hours with two cocktails per person, for up to 22 guests. 

Plus, if you have colleagues, friends or family coming from out of town to celebrate, The Alb is actually attached to a historic hotel, and boasts a selection of rooms which can be added to your booking. Handy!
