The Red Lion, Walsall

I use it when i'm waitng for a train but i wouldn't say it's worht more than that. They have started having a drag act doing karaoke and it has become know as the "The Pink Lion" locally, I havn't been on the evening as I imagine it gets too full and space is at a premium.

Update: A great, late Victorian split facade; brick and stone upper and a deep red decorated bottom. The interior has two floors, both small, the upper being used for the food side and is accessed by a spiral metal staircase. The main room has a wood floor, white walls, with wood panel and a nice fireplace. There are books and vases arranged on the bookcase, and some arty bits of painting in the corner, so there is sadly a touch of the moderns. There is also a lovely painted mural above the wood bar. The ubiquitous sofa adds to the modern, but is vastly outwieghed by chair and stools. Service is fine, but it was quiet when i went - can get very busy though. Beer; usual tap stuff, with Banks's MILD, but i had the Banks's Bitter on the handpull, which is about as good as it can be. Often pop in, especially handy for the train, it is the best of the pubs in its part of Walsall. Worth a visit.
