Brew and Cru in St Albans

Fantastic staff. Fantastic food. Fantastic crafts ! Would recommend food that was cooked perfectly and the barman knew about his beer and Ales to make sure we got the perfect choice. Would go again !

What a cracking place this is! They do actually have proper craft beers on tap that always change (Polly's, Boxcar, Brew York etc) as well as a very well stock fridge of more. The food is superb & plenty. It is in the World of BBQ & smoked meats. Very decent portions & reasonable (about £16 for a very good burger & chips) & £10 for half a rack of lovely baby back ribs. We left stuffed! There is a very nice outside area including some booths. Staff are very attentive & friendly. A real find & somewhere we shall keep returning!

Went for my daughter's second birthday. The food was pretty good, I enjoyed it. The service was not bad either, friendly staff. They didn't ask for allergies though and my wife almost ate something she's allergic to, since it wasn't listed in the ingredients on the menu. Would have been nice also to get the scoop of ice cream for the birthday girl as a present, just as a nice gesture, but didn't happen. We might go back, but not anytime soon.

Nice place for good quality meat dinner and drinks. The service is good but can improve a little if there's more tolerance for waiting customers. The restaurant looks nice. There is so much noise from music and loud costumers which can be annoying. Overall I'd give it 7/10 mainly for the food.

Cocktails and flavoured shots were excellent 👌 (I normally hate shots). Brisket was excellent 👌. Sides were tasty especially the mac n cheese and onion rings 😋. Staff were friendly 👍. Too much dressing on the cesar salad though.

Great atmosphere, friendly service and delicious food. I had a Brisket Burger, it was amazing! The meat had a bbq smoked taste, just so tasty. It's not cheap, but definitely worth it, great quality.

Insane food! Everything was cooked to perfection. Creative cocktail menu and lovely staff. Good playlist too! So glad that we found this place. We all ordered something different and tried a bit of everything and I can genuinely say that everything was delicious and hit the mark.

Contempary, clean pub with a reasonable selection of drinks and tasty steakhouse classics. From steak and ribs, to burgers n chips, fried calamari and halloumi starters. The quality of the meat was outstanding. Whilst the portions sizes for the mains were average, the starters/sides were huge! You definitely only need 1 side between two people. I also recommened their homemade lemonade. The lemon is cooked on the grill and glazed with honey. The drink has a smoky, sweet aroma and yet still retains that fresh lemon flavour. Was delicious!. Overall a great place to go for food.

My family and I visited craft & cleaver on Monday 16th August, to celebrate my husbands birthday.Well what can I say. We were really really impressed. This place has a really cool vibe and for a Monday night it still had plenty of atmosphere.Upon arrival we were greeted by Jennie, she was super attentive, professional and friendly.This place is lucky to have her. A real credit.So the food. Well it was absolutely fantastic, we couldn’t fault a single thing.All four of us had different started and all were delicious.For mains my husband and I shared the feast for 2 with 3 different sides. So much food. But definitely worth a try. Even had left overs to take home.We drank plenty of cocktails too. Our favourite being “Bitch Juice”The interior decor is great and they have a beautiful outdoor area too.If you haven’t been before this place is 100% worth a visit. Amazing staff and amazing food. We’ll definitely be coming back.

I've been so looking forward to this, so, the food was OK we had the platter to share which came with a description of what you have ordered but for the price I felt it should have come with fries and say coleslaw instead of having to pay extra, it just would have improved it that's all. The staff were fantastic and clearly well trained on the beers to which there is a huge range.
