About The Blacksmiths Arms
The Blacksmiths Arms is a traditional pub on High Street in Coventry, with a fast food menu served alongside the usual pints and pub drinks. Wainwright features on the bar, and the room shows live football on TV. A small beer garden sits out back for warmer days, and dogs are welcome inside. Bingo takes place on Thursday evenings, drawing a regular crowd. The kitchen stays open late for fast food, and the counter takes walk-ins throughout the week. The space keeps the feel of a neighbourhood local, with room to stand at the bar or settle in at a table.

Customer Review Summary
A friendly, easygoing atmosphere anchors the experience, with several reviewers singling out the staff and a decent pint as the reason for return visits, and one highlighting an unexpected Thursday bingo night as a good laugh. Most describe the pub as a relaxed spot for a drink, including outside in the small beer garden. One visitor, however, found the beer selection underwhelming and left after a single very average pint.

“Unexpected good night out... played Bingo!.. Thursday evening, not sure if it's every week, always good for a laugh with a bit of tension.”
- Philip Hayes
“I visited to have a change of beer and to try something interesting. The atmosphere was pleasant and the place convivial but with only one very average beer on offer I left immediately for greener pastures.”
- Mark Broomhall
“Friendly staff and a decent pint of Wainwright.”
- Jamie Campbell
“Working nearby. Went for a pint and to watch the football albiet it wasn't a channel thr pub had. Had a decent pint outside in the small beer garden. £18 for 3 pints which isn't the worst.”
