The Albion is a dog lovers oasis in the desert that is Parramatta venues. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor area 12 till 8pm daily and you hardly need to sit down before a friendly staff member has delivered a bowl of water for your dog.
Beer selection is a good mix of classics and what appears to be a few rotating taps of more boutique options. Menue includes a range of cocktails, and friendly bar staff are happy to answer your questions and make recommendations.
Food is reasonable prices and dishes have a heavy mediterranean influence, options for GF, Veg and other dietary requirements.
The real test of a pub is the schnitty, these guys have one slightly on the pricey at $25 but definitely a quality product, moist on the inside, crispy crumbly on the outside; chips which came out fresh and crispy, not too heavily salted, choices of sauces, I went the pepper gravy, came out in a smallish tub, probably a little too small for the amount of chicken and chips on the plate.
They have misting jets set up to help cool the beer garden on a hot day.
Overall a reasonable place for a few beverages on a warm afternoon but definitely the place to be if you have a fur baby!
