  “We had just entered the pub, wanted to look around and were heading towards a table when the woman behind the bar rudely forced us to leave, saying that they do not have a free toilet. We were decently dressed and did not look like homeless people, so it felt like our nationality might have been the real issue. I do not recommend this place. Other visitors even tried to stand up for us, which shows how inappropriate the staff’s behaviour was. The experience was very unpleasant and upsetting. I have never encountered such treatment in England before.”

  “I was chuffed to find one of my favourite minds on tap and enjoyed the friendly feel to the place. Pubs with a pool table are not for me, but that is just personal choice on my part. Good service from the staff and I would pop in agsin when in the area.”

  “How do I describe perfection in Walsall town center. I grew up round this watering hole. So did the last 4 generations of my family. I can say is that Angie is absolutely killing it there now and rocking up the town to a new vibrant and lively venue. If you want a great night out that is loud proud and safe this is the place for you. Everyone there is friendly and full of life, go check it out. That is my recommendation anyway.”

  “I have been using this establishment for many years. It closed recently and reopened a couple of weeks ago with a new landlady. She and the pub are refreshing and welcoming and a must visit venue whilst walking through a historic town!”

  “Small place. Bar right by entrance so gets difficult to enter and exit the place when busy on the weekend. DJ on weekend playing RnB. Large out side area up the stairs, which is lit and has heating. Second bar area also outside with music also playing outside too. Lots of seating and tables.”
