The Bloxwich Showman (JD Wetherspoon), Walsall

Decent cinema conversion on two levels. Pretty busy on my lunchtime visit. A good selection of guest ales and my pint of Central City Red Racer from the recent beer festival was in great nick and only £1.99. Worth a visit.

Tidy Art Deco place - a former cinema – over two tiers. The upstairs area is particularly nice and an effort has been made with the modern fixtures and fittings to retain a feel of Art Deco, such as the impressive servery. It’s also light and bright throughout. Notes are sparse due to the day’s cumulative consumption taking its toll and I didn’t Untap the beer I had, but I do recall being pleased with it and was easily good enough to justify the GBG listing. So that will have to do.
