The Dragon Inn, Worcester

A nice traditional town pub, with fairly basic furniture around the 'L'-shaped bar with decor comprising a large array of pump clips and other breweriana. Good selection of real ales from seven handpumps, including Old Black Nose from the Little Ale Cart brewery (£1.40 for a half). Well worth seeking out.

This has always been a friendly popular pub, and is a regular in the Good Beer Guide. Always a good selection of ales, although a lot of the handpulls now taken up with Little Ale Cart beers due to the link with the Wellington in Sheffield and it's brewery. Still has a large blackboard on the side wall displaying food available plus an area giving subjects not allowed to be discussed in the pub!! The beer board is good giving tasting notes of the beers on tap. Close to the station so a good place to start or finish your crawl of Worcester. Outside area through the bar where the toilets are.

A real classic Georgian terraced pub with rear patio. The upper stories are in plain brick with even spaced sash windows. The ground floor frontage is in cream and red with fake rustication and a side entrace for horses. Great. The interior has a large L-shaped room, the old rooms being knocked out. The serving bar is at the back on the left. The walls are in coffee with some wood panel, with a white artexy ceiling and a blue patterned carpet. The perimeter seating and bar stools are in a greenish colour. They do food, but i didnt eat, so can't comment on that. Lots of beer and whiskey memorabilia are on the walls and dotted about as ephemera and there is a nice beer board to show you what is on. I didnt see a TV and the background music was general and quite quiet. The service was fine and several mature locals were in. Beer; usual tap stuff with Church End Hop Gun, Vale Mill Old Git, West Berkshire Brewery's Over the Sticks, Millstone Brewery's True Grit and Vale Mil, Little Ale Cart's chocolate Stout and one other. I tried the stout and it was decent. A great pub, with a good range of beer. A place you can stop in for hours with a newspaper or book. Try this place.
