Tivi Ale, Oldbury

A friendly bar which is obviously popular with the locals around here. Nicely decorated with William Morris wallpaper and carpets throughout. Bar facing you at the rear, 4 handpumps all on, Holdens Golden Glow, Salopian Lemon Dream, Sarah Hughes Dark Ruby Mild and Bristol Beer Factory Satisfaction. We went for the Sarah Hughes, which was reasonably priced at £4.40, and the Bristol Beer Factory, also priced at £4.40 for a 5%. Of course huge cobs are available as well as pork scratchings. There's seating out the front and the place looked attractive in the fine weather, with baskets of flowers etc. We spent a couple of hours in here. Visited August 2025.

If I had to guess what a Black Country version of a micropub would be like, this one fit fairly well into how I imagined it. It's a comfortable place in an old shop set amongst a parade of shops within a residential area. The interior is carpeted and a warm welcome was offered. Holden's Golden Glow is the regular beer here. Guests were Enville Ale, Timothy Taylor Landlord & Little Critters White Wolf.
