The Jubilee, Jubilee Park, Tipton

Substantial 1950s estate pub, formerly The Harrier but now renamed as The Jubilee Bar & Grill after a licencing problem. The separate bar and lounge / dining area have both been refurbished in a semi-modern style, but the decor remains sparse. Unfortunately, no real ale available from the pair of handpumps, so soldiered on with the Banks's Mild (£2.50).

This is a detached 1950s styled pub, with patio area. The surrounding estates were built between the 1930s and 60s, with this place as the pub. It is a plain brick build, with some cream and a low-level front extension. The interior has a couple of rooms. The large lounge to the right had its lights out, so i headed to the bar on the left. This room is in yellow and pale green, with a white ceiling. Thre is a pool table and a dart board. The fireplace had rubbish in and a few pictures were on the walls. There are TVs (not on) and there was no music, in fact, there were no customers and no staff. I waited..... Beer; no real ale, just the usual tap stuff with Banks's and M&B MILD (£1.50). I never got chance to try anything, nobody turned-up, so I left. I can only conclude that it is the kind of place where the ghosts hang around the bar saying, "you won't believe this, but i am sure i saw a live one in here the other day".
