Strongers . left this review about The Wolf
The Wolf is L-shaped with a bar that is constructed from old planks where lots of craft keg is available alongside a lone hand pump that was drawing a very good Sureshot and Thornridge hazy pale collaboration called 4th Birthday Ale. There’s some seating at the rear where some gamers dressed mainly in black were playing board game, there’s a pile of board games available under the stairs that lead up to the toilet. There’s a projector screen and additional televisions throughout that were airing muted Champions League football while some background music played, Six Nations was advertised for the upcoming weekend. This is a student bar, but old clips around the counter show that the lone hand pump is changed regularly, as are the guest keg options. I thought the service was very friendly and while this isn’t somewhere I would seek out, I did enjoy my stop off watching a bit of football.

We started in here on a mini crawl of the Jewellery Quarter. I was surprised how big this craft beer bar was once you enter into the second room. The main room and bar had a large collection of pump clips all around the bar walls and ceiling.
We found a good spot down the back where we could watch some footie and ponder over what beers to try. The walls also had some good artwork all to do with wolves.
Some beers in here are on the pricey side, but we stuck to thirds to keep the price down. One cask ale on, Deya x Adnams Horizon Level. I went for the Yonder Shrimps & Bananas sweet shop sour, whilst our pals went for Burning Soul Coffee Cherry Porter, Abbeydale pumpkin spiced latte stout and a few Deya's here and there.
They have a Treat Tuesday all food 50% off pies, toasties etc. Quite liked it here so will call again.

The Wolf has been on my to do list for some time now. I finally got there on Saturday and not really knowing what to expect, found a fairly traditional pub. Whilst craft beer is the mainstay here, I was also surprised to see a cask option on.
There is a front room where the bar can be found, with further seating in a rear room. There are plenty of windows providing natural light along the two rooms. Toilets are upstairs.
In the bar, a blackboard lists the various options. The cask beer was Good Chemistry Groove Along. Craft beers were Yonder Raspberry Jelly and Vanilla Ice Cream Pastry Sour, Funky Fluid Winter Cake, Left-Handed Giant Enter The Loop, Nothing Bound Connecticut, Anspach & Hobday London Black, Burning Soul Like Clockwork, Attic Intuition, Deya Steady Rolling Man & Glasshouse Bringing Seshy Back. Ciders were Snail's Bank Raspberry Ripple & Weston's Vintage.
Quite a decent place with some unusual beers on. It's almost certainly a place I'll head back to at some point in time.

A reasonable place to stop if you are walking the hinterland between Hockley and the City.
Craft ales with a very good selection and knowledgeable staff. Will be remembered as the first place that I have tried Schofferhofer. Might replace bloody mary's as my breakfast drink of choice :-)
They do some food - toasties and the like.
Update: 6% Deya for £8.40. Does this sound reasonable :-)

As stated below a typical craft beer place with prices to match. That said there is a great choice and the beers we had were excellent. I like it here and will call again! I'm certainly not a naïve youngster and my midlife crisis was over long ago! Perhaps there is another pigeon hole I can fit into Al ??

I actually thought I wasn't going to like this place and I was correct. Modern day craft bar that drains the wallets of dozy arsed twentysomthings. A wide selection of "how much?" fizzys to choose from. A typical anodyne setting and, for me, a one time visit. Naive youngsters and midlife crisis people need apply only.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Wolf
Modern craft beer bar, located on the ground floor of a large brick building in the rather seedy lower end of Constitution Hill, and opened in 2017. Darkly furnished, so quite gloomy in the four small seating areas if not sat immediately adjacent to the front windows. Decor all beer-related, including the equivalent of pump clips from the ten keg taps. Speaking of which, there was a decent selection of nine beers in a variety of styles - including the Yonder Gander gooseberry sour IPA (£4.80, schooner) - and a draught cider.

Minimalist new bar, apparently created by knocking two shops together, quick coat of paint and hang a few artefacts around. Seems to be aimed at students; prices perhaps a bit steep but various offers. As mentioned below has an impressive line-up of craft keg taps, with a changing range of interesting brews, but sadly no real ale. Food probably could also be described as 'Craft'. It does have the potential to develop a bit of character and fills a gap between the City and Jewellery Quarter.

Danny O'Revey left this review about Lone Wolf
Larger than you think craft ale bar, near Snow Hill & St Pauls's Square but does feel like a long way away as the location is slightly down at heel and on the wrong side of the tracks (literally).
However, if you can brave the walk, the location and newness means this bar is away from the hectic venues near by meaning more comfort. It is nicely done out over two spaces, friendly and informative with a real passion for their beers.
Board games available
No real ale but 8 fine craft beers
