About this space

Back Yard Beer Garden is an outdoor courtyard at The Duke of Albany Hotel characterised by a casual, open-air pub layout.

Design: The space presents an informal industrial aesthetic, combining reclaimed-wood surfaces and dark metal seating on a paved courtyard. The layout is single-level and low-rise, using canopy shades and low-level lighting to keep circulation clear.

Features: The courtyard provides long communal timber tables and bench seating, freestanding umbrellas and a cleared area suitable as a small dancefloor. The area supports PA speakers, allows external DJs and own music, and includes venue Wi‑Fi and air conditioning for adjacent indoor areas. The space is wheelchair accessible with a step‑free entrance and accessible toilets; a noise restriction applies.

Ideal for: Groups of friends or informal work teams seeking a relaxed, social standing reception or a casual, communal seated meal.

What sets it apart: A large, full-height mural covers the courtyard wall and provides a striking visual backdrop.

What guests say: The space has a lively, music-led atmosphere and friendly, welcoming staff. The space is appreciated for its well-presented food and drinks and an energetic, social vibe.
