About

Situated in the heart of Shrewsbury, The Alb is a vibrant tapas bar and restaurant with a storied past and a fresh, contemporary feel. Attached to The Albert Hotel - a historic landmark dating back to 1804 - this venue combines the charm of a centuries-old building with the energy of a bustling modern eatery, making it an ideal spot for both locals and visitors. And what's more, if you're travelling, you can extend your experience with an overnight stay in one of the hotel’s cosy, refurbished rooms.

Inside, The Alb exudes character. The decor is a lively mix of exposed brickwork, warm lighting, and quirky touches like wall art and potted plants, creating a space that feels both relaxed and buzzing with energy. The spacious layout and friendly, down-to-earth team make it perfect for large groups, celebrations, and there's almost always a themed event being planned, from drag brunches to celebrate Pride or festive gatherings at Christmas.

The food menu is centered on tapas and sharing plates, offering an array of flavourful, crowd-pleasing options. Highlights include the crispy pork belly, slow-cooked to perfection and paired with a chilli glaze for a bit of a kick. The lamb shawarma, tender and aromatic, is served with zesty pickled onions for a fresh twist. And, for vegetarians, the halloumi fries are a must-try - crispy, golden, and served with a sweet chili dip that packs a punch.

No visit to The Alb would be complete without sampling their 'Icons' cocktail menu. Playful and inventive, there's options like Pop My Cherry with Havana Especial, cranberry and cherry, or the tropical Aku Aku with pineapple and lime, which perfectly complements the Mediterranean-inspired flavours of the food.

Whether you’re dropping by for a lively meal with friends, hosting a private event, or looking for a stylish place to stay, The Alb promises a memorable experience infused with community spirit and culinary creativity.
