The Bishop's Cave

You'll find yourself descending into The Bishop's Cave feeling like you've stumbled onto something the centre of St Albans hasn't quite cottoned onto yet. It's got that lived-in warmth of a place that knows what it's doing—stripped-back interiors, a wine list that goes beyond the obvious, and staff who genuinely seem pleased you've turned up. The sort of spot where you can nurse a glass of something interesting for hours without feeling like you're taking up valuable real estate, or knock back a quick drink after work. There's real thought gone into what they're pouring and what they're serving alongside it.
