The Leopard Inn, Kingswinford

Side-street local, although quite close to the town-centre crossroads. The staple-shaped interior has been refurbished relatively recently by the look of things, and there is a slightly raised pool table area behind the bar. Unfortunately, no real ale is available from the pair of handpumps, although one was pouring Old Rosie cider. Resorted to the Boddington's (£3.20), but only because it was nearly a quid cheaper than the Laine's IPA on one of the other keg taps (but that may not have been the best choice of the evening...).

Small pub tucked away just off the main road. No ale on when I called so settled for Coors. There was a DJ just setting up as we arrived and we had a good time. Not a bad pub.

This is a terraced late Victorian pub with rear beer garden. The pub is mainly in plain brick, with two bow windows either side of the entrance. The modern windows and signage are a little dull. The interior is a rough L-shaped room and is in grey and grey wood panel (with some red and patterned wallpaper), with grey seats and patterned carpet. The ceiling is white. The walls have B&W music posters on, as well as mirrors and Jack Daniels memorabilia. It has pool and darts, and the TVs had the tennis on. The service was friendly and the few people in were in the back garden. Beer; lots of taps but no real ale and no keg MILD - i had Guinness, which was OK. It is a tidy pub, perhaps a little over the top for being on a side road. Just no beer to my taste.
