Legends, Tipton

Very basic sports bar by the grandly named Tipton Shopping Centre. Dominated by a single pool table, there is a limited amount of plain modern seating around the periphery and a small counter area on the other side of the entrance. No real ale, of course, and only a few cheap keg offerings (e.g. Worthington's at just £2.20).

This is a modern corner sport bar, with patio area. The place is mainly in brick, with green paintwork around the doorways and windows, The dogtooth cornice and the part dormer windows break-up the generic look. The interior is another open plan room type. It is in cream, red and grey, with laminate flooring and a polystyrene tiled ceiling. There is a pool table and sport pictures and prints (motor racing features a lot) on the walls, with several TV screens. The music was general and at an OK level. The seating was padded perimeter and comfy chairs. The service was functional and there was a few locals in at my visit. Beer; no real ale, I just had a shady, as the usual keg stuff was on display. A little like a 50s American bar (Arnold's in Happy Days), i found the beer straight-forward and the experience a little unfriendly.
