Just phenomenal fun on a Friday night after the salsa dance classes. Great crowd, great music, great service. We even ordered dirty martini’s from the bar and the girl hadn’t made them before but did a fantastic job. They were delicious!

Went on Friday night. The salsa and bachata classes are fun. Roof top atmosphere is great. Will come again and try a meal next time.

I passed by for a quick late lunch over the weekend, I liked the place, very spacious including a smoking area. I ordered a parma, which was ok, but unfortunately not only the wait for it was quite long (approx 40min) but due to that I believe, in the middle of my meal I ve been asked to move to another table for an upcoming reservation. On top of it, I was quite surprised I d to move everything my own with no help at all from the staff. I maybe recommended it for drinks but unsure I ll be back.

We celebrated my sister Marni’s hens night at The Albion and had such a wonderful evening. A big thank you to Bella, who looked after us on the night with so much friendliness and care. She checked in often and made sure everything flowed smoothly, which made us feel really supported. Thank you also to Serena for helping organise everything in the lead-up. She was so helpful, responsive, and made the planning process easy and stress-free. The Albion staff were all lovely, attentive, and kept the energy fun throughout the night. We appreciated how welcoming everyone was. The space was perfect for our group - plenty of room to dance, celebrate Marni, and make it feel like our own. We’re really grateful to the team for helping create such a memorable night. Highly recommend The Albion for any celebration! 💛
