The Earl of Spencer Historic Inn - Bar & Restaurant - Albany, Western Australia

This is my second time to Albany for business in my new role, and the second time I have been to The Earl of Spencer for dinner. I will never go anywhere else and cannot recommend this place enough! The vibe is awesome, warm and cosy, nice and busy with the chatter of diners and happy smiley attentive staff who remembered my name! There is plenty of parking and heaps of tables. I feel incredibly welcomed and accommodated and of course the food and drinks are amazing too! Shout out to Chelsea and Pete and Cam for being AMAZING! I watch how hard they work and their interactions with all of the clientele both young and old, local and from afar, and without them, this place would not be the same! Thank you!! 🤩👍🏽💃🏽🙏🏼

The atmosphere was nice, especially the outdoor area. If you come here just for a 6 place is awesome 👌 lots of options.
I ordered steak, medium rare, it came out rare, no problem at all. But there's no charcoal taste on the steak, no veggies, only peas.
My husband and son ordered the pie, and it's a bit salty. Basically, all you can taste is just the Guinness gravy.
Are we going to be back there? Hmm, not for the steak, maybe just for drinks

We both ordered the scotch steak with an extra side of peppercorn sauce.

Both steaks were cooked to a perfect medium rare with a nice crust.

The chips on mine were well cooked and mash on my partners was smooth.

I think $52.5 including garlic prawns is a decent price compared to other options in Albany.

We will definitely return when we’re back in Albany.

Loved it all! First time to the pub in Albany! My hosts brought me to this locale as they are frequent visitors and love the food and atmosphere! I completely concur after last night's supper! Book a table beforehand as it was really bustling with ppl on a Friday night. The food? Delicious! The Earl Crew were so hospitable and made sure the food and drink were to our liking...expectations exceeded! From this Canadian, thank you for a great experience! Highly recommend!

I had a very warm welcoming into a great building and lovely restaurant. Plenty of food, however, i had better food option before.

Secondly, the long black was quite bad, if you are not dying for a coffee needs, please do not order the long black. Most of the food menu does pair with alcohol, it may not be good option for someone who need to drive after eating.

but the interior and the historical building was one of the main reason why we were there and it was so cool on how the historical photos being presented.

I think the steak was overcooked, the fish was just nice. The food can absolutely be better.

Excellent and generous service. Caesar was to die for. Crunchy lettuce, dressing not too rich, tender chicken and some anchovy kick. Don't forget the Sarson's brown malt vinegar with those delicious fat chips! Best regards to the staff. Wonderful place.

I've been here everytime I visit Albany and it is consistently great. Staff are friendly and likeable, their care feels genuine, the food is great and whilst the menu is limited, their focus on what is there is noticed. Parking is easy, it's clean. If you are mosquito attractant like me, prepare, as there may be a few around the beer garden.
