The Swan, Stourbridge

Now owned by the same company as the Red Lion, further down Brettell Lane. Now an open plan U shaped pub, which has been refurbished to a good standard. The outside area looks nice, too. Quite a few beers on handpull, but the Glow was £3.60 and mediocre. Early days for them, but even if the quality improves it's a bit expensive.

Traditional 2 roomed Black Country local with a basic bar, a plusher lounge and a nice garden to the rear, situated on the Brettell Lane pub run. The landlord Geoff has been in residence since 1985! The decor maybe a little dated for some but the ales usually 3 of them are well kept. I really like this pub, there used to be so many down to earth local boozers like this sadly they are fast becoming a dying breed. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

Interior is very dated but there was a good selection of ales and friendly service.

This is an end terrace pub with a nice beer garden at the back. The frontage is in a mock-Jacobean look; being in white with some black wood, which now looks a little tired. The interior has a couple of rooms; as you enter, the old outdoor is in front of you, with the bar room to the right and the lounge to the left, all served from a central bar. The lounge as patterned flowery wallpaper, patterend perimeter seats. There is a patterned carpet too. A few statues adorn the place, with old prints on the walls. The bar is in green and white, with red lino floor, a few pictures on the walls, a dart board and a TV (not on). There was no music. The service was fine and there were a few locals in. Beer; Gundog Jack Spaniels, Wharfe Bank Fair Dunkum and Wilbur Wood Finger Print, which was decent. A nice little place with an intact interior - needs a lick of paint on the outside, but really worth a visit.
