The Duke Of Albemarle was situated at 6 Stafford Street. This pub closed in 2006 and is now used as a fashion store.

I was a barman there for a short while. Bryan, the live-in landlord was an absolute gas and a pleasure to work with as was Nairn the upstairs barman and waiter. I remember all the characters fondly such as John the Gooner, Des the doorman and Dougal, which was not his real name but an affectionate nickname after the hapless priest in the TV show Father Ted. There was lady called Kelly who also worked on the downstairs bar and although I can see her face, I sadly can’t remember the name of the chef. The pub dog was called Smuff and liked a half of slop tray before bed.
