Striking looking must visit Olde Pub with good ales, friendly staff and super clean interior.

2020 Good Beer Guide Tick thats long been on the list to visit but is slightly out of the City Centre..... although very handy if you are attending the 02 Academy.

Heaving - all the other punters were also attending the 02 Academy :-)

Typical Black Country Ales Pub - classic pubby feel, their signature ales and other rotating guests - all displayed on TV screens.

TItanic Glacial and Oakham Citra in good condition.

Worth seeking out.

Still much the same as it was just over 4 years ago when I last visited (except it is now owned by Black Country Ales). I also think some external signage has been removed to reveal the original Holder's Brewery glazed tiles. BCA's Fireside, Pig on the Wall, BFG and Plum Pig were on sale last night (the last one being very good) as well as Grafton's Peanutter, Titanic's Chocolate & Vanilla Stout and Downton's Elderquad. Craft offerings were 3 from Salopian at well over £5 a pint. Whilst a pint of Plum Pig was a reasonable £3.40, a bottle of Hogan's Dry was £5.20 which seemed excessive (we should have ordered the draught Gwynt y Ddraig Black Dragon but opted for a more local cider). Easy to find a seat even on a Saturday night.

An unexpected gem. We were heading to the Keg and Grill and decided to pop in for a quick pint.
As others have said, extensive and well-kept selection of beer.
Friendly punters too.
Not mega busy due to its location even on a Saturday evening.

Good pub.

Nice old fashioned decor and plenty of really well kept real ales (11 I think) and ciders.

Landlord obviously knows a great deal about beer - so do the regulars.

One minor gripe: for an unfashionable site away from the city centre the prices could be cheaper.
