Review of Alberry's Canterbury / Bassmen...

Whilst this bar's atmosphere and music is generall...

Whilst this bar's atmosphere and music is generally good on a nightly basis, the one thing which makes going to Alberrys absolutely horrible, are the despicably badly trained and aggressive bouncers. During my first night there, I was standing at the bar on my own having a drink when a bouncer came over and started to escort me out towards the exit. Completely baffled I asked him what he was doing, and he claimed that I was 'falling asleep at the bar'. Apparently they have been told that bowing your head forward to fix your fringe warrants your immediate removal from the premises. I was completely embarrassed in front of everyone there, especially since the majority were probably more intoxicated than myself. If you are looking for somewhere where you are treated like an absolute idiot, then this is the place, otherwise, stay well clear from this hell-hole.
