About The Prince of Wales Stafford
Live bands and entertainment fill several nights a week at The Prince of Wales Stafford, a bar on Weston Rd, with music on Friday, Saturday and Sunday giving the week a run of gig nights. The interior stays traditional and has not been modernised, and the room is set up for darts and pool with plenty of seating around them. Guinness pours alongside a selection of beers, though the bar does not keep real ales. Drinkers arrive on a walk-in basis, and the doors open daily.

Customer Review Summary
Friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere dominate what regulars single out, with several describing a proper traditional pub feel and one calling it a new favourite in Stafford. Live music runs a close second, with reviewers noting bands around three nights a week and entertainment every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Also praised: the darts and pool set up, plenty of seating following the reopening, a good beer selection and the fact that dogs are welcome inside. The decor divides opinion. One visitor found it unrefurbished since the 80s, like stepping back in time without the nostalgia, and was disappointed by the absence of real ales, sticking to the Guinness instead, while another shrugs that nobody should expect it to be modernised. A couple flag practical gripes, one reviewer reports the disabled toilet is now used for storage and cannot be used, and another finds the parking a pain, with a numberplate to remember to register.

“A local pub which I would estimate has not been refurbished since the 80s. It was like stepping back in time but without the nostalgia. There were no real ales, so I stuck to the guiness. Not for me, but if you live nearby, then it may serve you well.”
