The Swan, Stourbridge

Interior is very dated but there was a good selection of ales and friendly service.

This is an end terrace pub with a nice beer garden at the back. The frontage is in a mock-Jacobean look; being in white with some black wood, which now looks a little tired. The interior has a couple of rooms; as you enter, the old outdoor is in front of you, with the bar room to the right and the lounge to the left, all served from a central bar. The lounge as patterned flowery wallpaper, patterend perimeter seats. There is a patterned carpet too. A few statues adorn the place, with old prints on the walls. The bar is in green and white, with red lino floor, a few pictures on the walls, a dart board and a TV (not on). There was no music. The service was fine and there were a few locals in. Beer; Gundog Jack Spaniels, Wharfe Bank Fair Dunkum and Wilbur Wood Finger Print, which was decent. A nice little place with an intact interior - needs a lick of paint on the outside, but really worth a visit.

Looks totally run down from the outside, maybe even a little intimedating, its very difernt inside and a lot more comfortable than you would expect. The decor is not really my bag, its like going into your granny's house, very floral, with flower patterned wallpaper and patterned seating. But its all very light and comfortable. There's Granny's garden outside as well. Vary nice collection of real ales available.
