The Phoenix, Tamworth

A pleasant enough pub with 3 real ales available - Hobgoblin, New World and one I've forgotten.

The Phoenix is situated on Tamworths main shopping street and has market stalls around it on market days. Once inside there is a large single oblong shaped room,the serving bar is up a couple of steps on the left side,the room is mainly carpeted,the seating to the front is normal tables and chairs,there are a few tall tall tables and chairs opposite the bar,there is a raised area to the rear which has more normal tables and chairs. There were three real ales on the bar,i had a drink of Tim Taylor Boltmaker which went down well on my early morning visit,the other beers were Hobgoblin and GK IPA. Decent background music was playing,a large TV to the rear was showing a cooking programme. This is a pleasant enough pub during the day which attracts drinkers of all ages,but i think it might liven up in the evenings with younger drinkers. I was quite happy having a drink in this pub.
