Strongers . left this review about The Billiard Hall

I can see how this used to be a billiard hall, and how it used to be a Wetherspoons, but it’s now very far removed. It’s a large single roomed open plan venue with seating through and a curved bar counter that runs up the front left. I counted six hand pumps, but only one was in operation drawing Enville Brewery’s Enville Ale. Standard and premium keg was also available from the friendly barmen. During a recent Monday evening visit there was background music playing whilst Sky Sports News aired on the televisions throughout. Live music and karaoke is advertised for the weekends. This was my first visit, but I’d be surprised if the Billiard Hall isn’t now a shadow of its former self.

Typical Wetherspoon's in a former billiard hall, of course. It has the advantage of being all at ground level (including the toilets) and the tables are not too densely packed, which gives a reasonably spacious feel. Also shows enthusiasm for beer, with a fair choice of interesting guest ales alongside the usual suspects, and a list of 'upcoming' guests too. Cask Marque accredited.

As mentioned before this is a single open plan room with a slightly raised area at the rear. I came here on an early Tuesday afternoon to find it fairly busy. I noticed while entering a poster advertising What Pub and suggesting people submit beer scores. The menu holder on the table I sat at claimed that the pub has the "Largest Real Ale Selection In West Bromwich".
On my visit three of the twelve hand pumps were unused and the Caledonian International beer doubled up. Ignoring the JDW Trio Of Doom (a perfectly reasonable thing to do) that left four other beers Slater's Premium, Exmoor Gold, Sadler's Hop Bomb and Backyard Blonde. By my reckoning that puts it equal with the Holden's Wheatsheaf up the road. Putting all that aside, I went for the Sadler's Hop Bomb (£2.30) which was in first class condition.
Despite their bravado I thought this was one of the better West Midland Spoons. I haven't been to either of the two pubs listed for West Bromwich in the 2016 GBG.
