Anchor Inn, Glascote, Tamworth

Co-op is to go ahead with its plans to convert the Anchor pub in Glascote Road into a new store.

We have been there for the Kareoke on a Friday however Saturday "The Godfather of DJs" holds court. Everything from Sinatra to Lady Gaga is played and best of all its the customer's request. This experienced and entertaining DJ interacted with the crowd and promised that if someon requested a song he did not have he would play it the following week....and he did. Beeb there a few times now and never disapointed with the music and the cost of the drinks. DJ Mike McDowell from Jarrow is the best kept secret in the North East. The regulars have their songs played and he is the inventor of "JARRAOKE". Kareoke without words where the crowd can sing along to the song. Its all about the music and entertaiment. Iwill be back next week.

FURTHER UPDATE - Now reopened but not had a chance to visit yet UPDATE - 5TH MAY - Now sold and preparing to re-open mid May, watch this space

Canal side pub (Birmingham & Coventry canal for canalboat users) Used be very tidy pub few years ago but somewhat bit rundown pub now. But still serve very good quality beers especially Guinness)
