Quick info
About The Great Western
The Great Western is a pub on Corn Hill in Wolverhampton, set opposite Grand Station, which puts it in natural position as a pre-match stop for football crowds heading to and from the station. The bar pours Holden's beers, the local brewery's range, and gets very busy on match days as a result. Dogs are welcome inside, making it a working option for walkers cutting through the area. Its position at the station end of Corn Hill defines the rhythm of the room, with match-day trade setting the tempo and quieter spells between fixtures leaving space for a steady pint.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the ales and beer selection, along with the atmosphere and pub food. A few describe it as a pre-match stop for Wolves supporters, opposite the station, though it gets very busy on match days and one says that means braving the cold outside. One reviewer is upset that Brennans Irish Stout was replaced on tap by Cafferys Stout, which they call awful.

“The perfect pub for pre match or before heading to the station. Gets very busy on a match day so sometimes you need to brave the cold, but a great selection of Holden's beers makes up for it”
- Liam Mitchell
“It's a great pub but they need to bring back Brennans Irish Stout they replaced it with Cafferys Stout which is awful the only reason why myself and many other Wolves supporters came here is because of Brennan's Stout so sad they've taken it off tap”
