The Grange Inn, Dudley

Marked as closed.

They had Bombardier, Pride and Tribute on – the Tribute was superb, but at £3.15 a pint it is not cheap although I would prefer to pay that than have an ordinary pint for £2.80 or so. The pub is carpeted throughout; there was a coal-effect gas fire on the go; comfortably furnished; no TVs on, and I didn't see any one-armed bandits or juke boxes either. It is set in a terraced street, with an attractive frontage and comprises two bars joined by an archway with a few (false?) beams. This is a warm and welcoming pub that was fairly busy on an early Thursday evening. I can't see any reason to come here other than for the decent ale and good conversation. I'll be back!

Drove past it today, has been closed and boarded up for some time - even the name is falling off - i thought it was the Green something! [Admin edit: Marked as closed 24/2/10]
