The Auction House, Tile Hill, Coventry

The former Bell now has a new name, and although somewhat refurbished, it retains its two-room layout. The main entrance leads to the larger lounge / dining room, with a smaller public bar to the left (where the pool table and dartboard can be found), and both having a fairly plain traditional look. A limited amount of extra seating is provided on the front patio, part of which is covered by a narrow arcade. Sharp's Atlantic appeared to be available from the bank of three handpumps on each counter, although the latter proved to be an illusion as the place has recently switched to the keg version. Made do with the Doom Bar (just £2.50) instead.
