The Harp Hotel, Wolverhampton

This Black Country Ales pub was busy on our Thursday eve visit, in spite of the weather being particularly cold. There was however a pop up pizza van catering out at the back of the pub, which was quite a large area for the size of the pub. Plus there was a young chap singing and playing guitar. Ten ales and two ciders to our visit, so I went for the BFG a popular Black Country Ales permanent. This was a very comfortable and friendly locals pub.

Traditional two-bar local, now run by Hop Back brewery. The public bar houses a pool table, with a larger 'L'-shaped lounge having more seating but still hardly crammed with furniture. Basic decoration in both bars. Five real ales on handpump: Summer Lightning and Citra plus Ludlow Gold, Mallinson's The Thirst Days of Christmas and the seasonal Ossett Nervous Turkey as guests.
