This is a really good Wetherspoons. It feels a little run down. But the beer selection is always good. So are the ciders. Prices are decent and service is good too. It's always been busy when I've visited. My Boxing Day visit was no different. Ales were Shepherd Neame Bishop's Finger & No. 18 Yard Rudolph's Reward, Hook Norton Old Hooky, Silhill Gold Star, Oakham JHB, Greene King Abbot, Rudgate Evil Elf & Ruddles Best. Ciders were Gwynt y Ddraig Black Dragon, Polgoon Cornish Apple & Thistly Cross Whisky Cask. I seem to recall the Polgoon being £2 a pint, which was great value. Best option for drinking in West Bromwich town centre.

Yeah it is very convenient next to the bus station and Metro, and they run very regular services so not a grind to get there. Decor is still the same but the ale prices can be superb (Saturday and all ales £1.99!) and they`ve got bona fida footie games on...bonus indeed!

Popped in Tuesday for a steak and a pint or two. Cheap isn't the word, best Wetherspoons in the Birmingham catchment area, all Wetherspoons staff should be sent here for training in manners and efficiency, friendly boozer all round, handy for the bus and tram too. Great.

The Billiard Hall is well located next to the town's bus station and not too far from the tram stop. It's an impressive building from the outside and it looks fairly small. But as with most Wetherspoons, it's much larger than you expect. I do agree with the previous reviewer that the interior is a bit bland. Service was efficient though, despite it being busy following West Brom's home game. A few fans were in. Ales on were Ruddles Best, Greene King Abbot, Trumans Ipanema, Exmoor Gold, Lymestone Stone The Crows & Ringwood Old Thumper. Ciders were Bottle Kicking Cider Company Fullback, Abrahalls Status Quo Down Down & Westons Old Rosie. Big screens were showing the Olympics and horse racing. Better than I had anticipated.

Possibly the worst decorated and furnished JDW I`ve ever been in - like a factory canteen in the 70`s, enough to give you a headache the minute you walk in!

Visited here prior to not finding the Great Western in Wolverhampton.
A few real ales available, nothing wrong with the one I had.
Being lunchtime it was quite busy, food being eaten near me was consumed and not much left on the plates so must have been OK.
I HAD to visit here as it was the last pub I ever had a pint at 89 pence shortly after it opened.
|
Only one poor real ale when we visited. Interesting facade but that was it!
|
it's the cheapest spoons i've been into, and it's possibly the best. It actually has a bit of character about it, and the food is by far the best i've had in a spoons. The bar staff are good and the scary old men are actually friendly.

Great if you want a fight. Not so great if you don't
|
Good pub, very busy, plently of bar staff, good pint, well worth a visit
|
On top of what I have said, there is well kept ale and good selection here.
|
Although on the surface a typical 'spoons, this pub is usually a decent place to drink. On match days it gets busy and policed by WM Constabulary, but overall not bad. Food isn't so bad either, for a Wetherspoon.
|
Nice pint of ale but full of typical daytime jdw clientele, 7/10 all the same.
|
great pub fantastic beer and fantastic prices!!
staff are attentive and pleasant!
best pub in west brom town centre
|
This is a pretty typical Wetherspoons pub really.
Good selecetion of real ales, beers etc and always cheap, service is usually quick. Typical microwaved food also served but I can honestly say meals are
Bright decor, recently had a mini make over they have taken some of the booths out and made it more open plan.
Normally always busy.
