Odfellows, Shifnal

Describes itself as a wine bar, but you would never really know because it looks and feels like a pub. Light wood furniture in the reversed 'J'-shaped bar, the partitioned-off slightly split-level dining area alongside and the side conservatory. There is also a small patio garden to the rear. With three of the four handpumps in use, I found the two regular Salopian beers - Shropshire Gold and Oracle - and Rantipole from Three Tuns (£3.10) as the guest.

Normally the words "wine bar" don't appeal to me but I thought this place was decent. 3 beers on including one from Salopian. Very handy for the train station.

Very close to the railway station, small terrace at the rear adjoining the arches. Selling a choice of non standard real ales.

I am not sure what to make of this pub compared to other pubs in the town. It is quite a large old pub selling three cask ales from micro brewers. Trade was quiet on my very brief visit prior to catching a train to Oakengates. It is an ordinary sort of pub and very handy with the station entrance right outside the door.
