Today we had the opportunity to visit The Albatross in Springfield, MO. The Albatross has been a fixture in Springfield for many years and is devoted to quality to***co products and also boasts a high end ho**ah lounge with a cozy atmosphere. Before getting into our review I want to notate that this is not sponsored by The Albatross, this is just the first of our series of reviews of prominent local businesses! If you have a business that you think we should review let us know in the comments.
Firstly I will notate that we are reviewing them as a business and not taking into account the policies they are required to enforce during this pandemic. The steps they are taking to ensure customer safety include limited hours, disposable ho**ah hoses, mask requirements while not at a table, separate employee and customer restrooms, and other saftey practices.
In regards to their lounge The Albatross recently acquired a liquor license and is now offering beer, wine, and spirts. They are also offering a quarantine happy hour between 4pm and 6pm. The lounge hours are 4pm to 11pm. When a customer is arrives they are given a paper menu of sh**ha flavors and chooses their ho**ah. Throughout their visit the employees bring by fresh charcoal to keep the ho**ahs running at peak temperature. Overall it is a relaxing atmosphere to relax.
Now speaking to their retail store it is open from 12pm to 7pm and offers ho**ahs, sh**ha, cigars/cigarettes, pipes, loose to***co, among other products. The entire staff is very knowledgeable and friendly.
Overall The Albatross is a quality local establishment and is worth a visit if you are in the downtown area!
