Nice cosy pub,friendly locals and owners and a good range of real ales.Nice decked area out back for warmer days. Can get crowded on sundays and when football on otherwise best pub in the area by a country mile.

Warm,friendly pub with an obvious tendency to get packed due to location. Good selection of real ales, the old peculiar was on top form. Will visit again next time in London.

Had heard good things about this pub and was looking forward to visiting during a Jewellery quarter crawl, on entering the pub couldn't help but be impressed with the decor and 'tardis' like look and feel of the place, however after a patient 5 minute wait at the bar to be served my female companion was basically ignored by the barman while he served a regular who ignorantly jumped the queue. We left without ordering so cannot comment on quality of beer, we later visited the 'sister' pub The Red Lion and were charged a staggering �3.70 for a pint of Bathams Bitter.
Although these pubs have been nicely refurbished and offer a good range of beers they seem to have been set up to cash in on the coffee sipping wine slurping yuppie brigade that are moving en masse into the Jewellery Quarter. Will not be visiting either of these pubs again.

This pub has really gone down the pan,particularly over the last 12 months, uncomfortable cliquey atmosphere and poor ale, not a lot of a choice of decent pubs in Oldbury anymore, but this one has got to be bottom of the pile.

The Lamp Tavern, Dudley
The bitter is nice but thats about it. No mild. Rude owner, uninterested staff.
