Our Lounge

Albero Lounge is in a handsome old listed school building, right on the banks of the Great Ouse in the historic heart of Bedford. We have a fantastic range of food and drinks (including full kids, gluten-free and vegan menus), served in a relaxed, laid-back environment.

With our lovely courtyard to one side and the river to the other, you’ll be spoiled for a spot of people (and duck) watching!

Join us on Wednesdays for our quiz night and live music on the first Friday of each month. Please check our socials or reach out to ensure these events are taking place.
