The Bush Inn, Dixons Green, Dudley

Traditional corner pub retaining two separate bars (one now just a pool room) separated by a 'bottle and jug' counter opposite the entrance. Basic furniture and decor, and dimly lit throughout, with a rear function room in total darkness. No handpumps on the counter, but the Banks's Original mild (£2.90) was dispensed by a now rare electric pump.

An interesting pub that was built near a former pub, likely around WWI, then remodelled a little by the 30s. In brick, with stone features, and impressive stone name pediment. Has a front patio. The interior has multi rooms. Originally the out door leading to the bar, the bar room comes off one side while another bar - with pool table, dart board and a few sofas - mirrors it on the other side. The bar room had a TV with a quiz programme and no music. The back room, I did not see. A few horse racing pictures, with some Wolves memorabilia decorate. A nice glazed-tiled passageway leads to the bogs. Service was friendly, and it is clearly a locals pub though not unwelcoming. No real ale, just basic taps but the Banks's MILD was fine enough. I am pleased I visited here for the interest in the building and while there was no real ale, I would pop in again for one.
