Really attractive historic pub; now most definitely a gastropub. The front bar area is quite small but very well appointed. Slightly eclectic decor and lovely eclectic staff add to its charm. Very popular, so you may struggle to find a seat at busy times. Good choice of drinks and food is available in this bar area. Haven’t eaten in the restaurant since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic but most of the original staff remain, so I assume that it’s still excellent. Highly recommended.

Lovely place. Great and super attentive service. The best dish by far were the gnocchi. Excellent texture and flavour. The habanero sauce that came with the scotch egg was delicious. I was not a huge fan of my main, the pork cheeks. The cheeks themselves were very tender. The butter beans were alright but the sauce was not right. Not sure what it was but the flavour was too bitter, almost burnt. I did not eat them. Also the size of the dish was more of a started than a main. The lemon sorbet was very refreshing.

A very nice spontaneous lunch at Dylans. We had various friends mention the food was fantastic and we were not let down. Scotch egg and sourdough for starter, the best scotch egg I have ever had, then fish and chips for two. The fish was amazing. A fantastic meal. We will be returning for a Sunday roast as this is supposed to be the best is St Albans.

Lovely food, cozy atmosphere. I’ve been there with my girlfriend for dinner, we ordered 2 starters, 2 mains, bread and a dessert to share The scotch egg was perfectly cooked and it was full of flavour. Burrata was also surprisingly good, I really liked the balance between the chestnut, the mandarin and the seasoning. The mains were also amazing - the onglet was delicious as well as the ox cheek. Also the bread was a delight - the smell was great, the taste was even better.

My business partner and good friend raves about Dylans as his favourite local, so he brought me here to see for myself, and I have to agree! Great gastro pub with what I've been told is an ever changing selection of guest draft craft beers. We had a few relaxed pints on the window stools, and some "bar snacks". Well worth coming to!

Friendly staff, lovely interior. Good champagne! Didn't try the food just went for drinks. Small inside and can imagine when it gets packed it's standing room only. Beautiful decor and loved the hops, flowers and decor around the bar area and the quirky creatures. Good vibe. Online access patchy - it's an old building with thick walls, so got used to it. George St not pedestrianised anymore but it was an ideal evening for an al fresco experience. 28C in July!

Outstanding pub! Excellent food and very friendly staff. We couldn't be happier! The beer and liquor selection is extensive enough to provide choices but not overwhelming. Adam and G were super helpful and recommended the perfect drinks. There was another guy who we didn't catch the name of but he was also awesome. We will most certainly be back 😍

Another lovely evening at Dylan’s. We ordered burrata and duck croquet for the stater and duck leg and pork for main. Service was perfect like always, lovely fresh food! Highly recommended!

Really lovely small pub that feels old fashioned and modern at the same time. Attentive, friendly service and plenty of allergy, vegan and vegetarian options available. Quite small so recommend booking ahead.

Love this place. Been here a number of times and everything is always great. Service was good, waitresses friendly and helpful. Food was amazing as usual. I did think the prices had increased slightly but it wouldn’t stop me going again.

Lovely friendly staff, delicious food, and quirky interiors. Can’t wait for my next trip! I took my family to Dylan’s following some fab reviews I’ve seen online, and rave reviews I’d heard from friends and colleagues. Upon arriving, I’ll be honest, my expectations were high… but let me tell you, Dylan’s *absolutely* lived up to them all! We went for lunch and decided to opt for the lunch menu as we loved what was on offer there — and it’s fantastic value! I opted for the salt cod and salmon fishcake for my starter, and the corn-fed chicken breast with Caesar salad dressing for main, and had a side of ham and Parmesan croquettes (one of the specials of the day). Each dish was superb. I look forward to coming back to taste the main menu and sample some of the many craft beers on offer.

I have visited twice now. The first time for drinks and a scotch egg. The second time for the Christmas menu. The service is incredibly friendly and fast. The beer selection is really good too. Lots of beers that you won't find elsewhere. The food is incredible. Everything I've tried here has been perfectly balanced. It's some of the best food you can get in St Albans. I will be back!

Exceptionally welcoming pub with a great selection of beers. I had the freedamm, alcohol free and gluten free and would you believe it was deliciously refreshing. I had the £20 2 course set menu, I left hungry to be honest ( hence why I can only give it 4 stars ) but the food was exquisite.

Staff and food were absolutely incredible!! Highly reccomend the ribs, Parmesan chips & rocket soy salad!!! Only thing is the price, most I’ve spent eating out in a while but when you put the quality of food and staff into perspective, it’s a lovely treat and chance to spoil yourself!! We will be back!
