The White Lion, Alcester

The White Lion is a decent sized stand alone pub that has a mock tudor upper half,the pub is situated just off the town centre. Once inside the main room was oblong shaped with the bar facing,the room is carpeted,the seating was normal tables and chairs,there is a seperate pool room to the right which is down a slight step,there is a darts board in a small area to the left which had a few normal tables and chairs. There were two real ales on the bar plus two real ciders,i had a drink of Penpoint Cornish Arvor which was a decent drink,the other beer was Doom Bar. Abba was playing on the sound system,because the pub was having an Abba night with music and fancy dress,i wish we could have stayed for this,it would have been a good laugh. We both really enjoyed our visit to this pub,a really good lively pub. Pub visited 10/5/2014

A decent sized brick and mock Tudor pub near the town centre with a spacious if rather featureless and uninspiring interior. Divided into 3 areas, the main bar is rather characterless with dated décor and false ceiling. No Real Ales, just standard keg beers / lagers. The pub is mainly geared up for live sports and offers the usual selection of pub entertainment (fruit machines, karaoke, quizzes and the like). A large room off the main bar has 2 dart boards and can be used for private functions. One item of note – there are old fashioned call bells in the wood paneling – not something you see much of these days. The décor is rather monotonous and could do with a few pictures or something to give it a bit of focus. To the other side of the main bar near the entrance is a separate pool room. The pus is very much a functional and workmanlike local's pub rather than anything special but we found a friendly enough welcome. There is a car park and some outside seating. OK for a quick pint or if there is something specific going on (they were half way through the weekly quiz when we arrived) but I wouldn't make this a regular haunt for the sake of it
