This pub is another must visit when in Tamworth. There are 4 or 5 small rooms, with the bar in a room to the rear left. Whilst this used to be a bank, it has the feel of a townhouse and is decorated with some nice furniture, making any visit very comfortable.
The bar can get quite cramped. When our group of 13 arrived (there was a straggler), we found an already busy pub. The cramped nature of the entranceway and the bar made accessing the bar difficult but bar staff were efficient and soon has us all served.
Beers are listed on a board, clearly visible as you enter. JW Lee's Boddingtons Bitter is now a regular cask ale. Guests were Electric Bear Dark Side of the Spoon, & William Shakes Beer, Burnt Mill Little Green & Three Brothers Emergency IPA. Ciders were Pulp Peach Mojito & Mango and Lime Ciders, Ascension Pilot, Iford New Tradition & Windfall, Ampleforth Abbey Medium, Gwynt y Ddraig Fiery Fox, Thistly Cross Whisky Cask, Lilley's Bee Sting & Broadoak Moonshine.
A CAMRA discount is offered on pints. My Dark Side of the Spoon was an enjoyable caramel stout.

This one wasn’t in the GBG six years ago so I was looking forward to seeing what lay in store. It’s an intriguing Gothic building which clearly wasn’t built as a pub and has been converted to pub use fairly recently (‘formerly home to Sir Robert Peel's Tamworth Savings Bank’ WhatPub tells me) and it is not obviously a pub unless you are ITK. I wasn’t disappointed either; it’s a tight warren of rooms, each with its own atmosphere. Notes were sparse by the stage but I can report that my Espresso Martini Cinder Toffee Stout was excellent (NBSS 4) and I will absolutely call back next time in town.

There's something of Gentleman's Club feel here in the 2 drinking rooms, with leather armchairs (which could do with a bit more padding) and low tables. The bar is in a third room with 5 cask ales on the bar, along with 3 German beers from ABK. I was clocked as likely to be a CAMRA member with a discount freely offered.
Background music was classic rock (The Doors at time of writing), at exactly the right background volume.
Choose a better seat, peruse the range (I opted for an English IPA from a brewery I can't recall) and you can easily settle in for a session.
