The Whippet Inn, Lichfield

Blackthorn _ left this review about The Whippet Inn

A small micropub clustered around several other pubs at this end of town, it was pretty much full to capacity on our recent Saturday afternoon visit and we just managed to squeeze in on the last remaining seats.

It’s an unusual wedge shape with a wide frontage letting in plenty of natural light. Décor wise it’s a little less basic than many micropubs and was quite pleasant with turquoise paintwork on the upper part of the walls with some unusual wooden block down below illuminated with downward facing LED strip, bench seating around much of the perimeter and pale wooden flooring. Further seating was small turquoise stools, and there was good selection of artwork on the walls, many of it music related including a large painting of the Rolling Stones.

Beers on tap were Three Blind Mice Guji Coffee Stout, Blue Bee Where is my Mind?, Shiny Bold Bitter, Black Iris Demon Cleaner and Redwillow Wreck Less. The solitary cider meanwhile was Celtic Marshes Abrahalls Medium. Overall, pretty good, although the landlord wasn’t very engaging, but I’d happily pop in again.
