Although I have a feeling I must have come here before a Luton Town game at Molineux many years ago, it would have been before I started writing down details of my pub visits and taking photographs, so there's no memory of such a visit. This pub has a lovely frontage, and the interior is also very good (see the heritage link below), but as a pub I felt it was a little lacking, with the area around the bar counter being a little scruffy, and the beer offering (Salopian Shropshire Gold, Bath Gem and Wye Valley HPA) less interesting to me than what we'd seen in the first four pubs. The beer was in pretty good nick, though (NBSS 3.5), and we had a pleasant and comfortable half hour here. I'm glad at least that I can now say I have definitely been to the Posada in Wolverhampton.

Lovely place which has had a desperately-needed sprucing-up since my last visit in 2011. Four ales at the bar, my slurps of TT Golden Best (NBSS 3.5) and Wye Valley HPA (4) befitted its GBG listing. Oddly quiet compared to the Lych given it was a Friday night, which is a worry. Both my pals were on their first visit here and declared it best in show for Wolverhampton.
June 2011
Initial impressions are promising – an eye-catching façade, with Victorian tiling and a beautiful large curved stained glass window. The interior is also quite interesting (snug areas at rear, stripped wooden floor, nice carved wooden bar area) but looks very tatty and smells quite badly of old fags and well, wee. Five ales on the go – my last visit found Brew Dog Trashy Blonde (which drank fine), GK Abbot, Enville Ale, GK OSH and Adnams Broadside. CAMRA discount of 20p per pint (and 10p per half!) was welcome. Apparently ‘Posada’ is Spanish for ‘inn’ - not sure why Wolverhampton gets a pub named in Spanish but there you go. I think it promises more than it delivers overall – it needs a good dose of TLC to get it up there. It’s still well-worth a visit but I doubt most casual visitors would stay beyond a pint. Rated 7

After gazing at the yellow glazing and the curved lead lined bay window there was no way I wasn’t popping into Posada for a pint. Brown banquettes in the front window face the L-shaped serving counter that runs up the right. Standard and premium keg were available and four of the six hand pumps were in use drawing Ossett’s Yorkshire Blonde (decent), Salopian’s Shropshire Gold, Bath Ales’ Gem and Wye Valley’s HPA. The service was polite, but I was one of only three customers early on a recent Thursday evening.
The bare board floor from the bar runs through to a rear seating area with a fireplace and a very interesting two person snug in the right-hand wall. At the very rear is a raised tile floored seating area. To the left of the entrance is a large old style jukebox. I’m partial to a bit of Wham, but listening to George Michael’s greatest hits one after the other isn’t my idea of a fun time. I liked it in here and will return, just hopefully when the music is a little more upbeat.
