I used to go in a lot, when i worked in Wolverhampton years back, especially around 'France 98', as we could watch the games in an upstairs room.

The building exterior is very nice. The place was formerly the George Hotel, (the original hotel dated to the 1750s, i think) and this building has the Georgian style to it. The interior is large, with leather sofas (a little threadbare) and tables.

Service was fine, beer cheap. Usual tosh, with Bombardier and Theakston's Bitter. Had the bitter, not the best. I will leave it another 10 years or so before coming back.

I walked into this place not expecting much as I've been to a few Varsity bars before. This one's a bit different though. It's much more pubby than the large drinking barns I've been to before and it also had 2 real ales on. Tried a pint of the Bombardier and it was good, it got even better when the barmaid said £1.95 please, pretty cheap for central Wolverhampton. Not bad at all.
