Old Bush, Wolverhampton

Very much a local, compared with The Vine next door, albeit one with a slightly confusing layout. The open door when I visited was at the right-hand end and led into the simple bar area with a dartboard. This in turn leads to the snug which also has its own doorway (although this may not be in regular use). The lounge is accessed via a third door at the other end of the building, and this part also has a small patio terrace at the front. Disappointingly, no real ale available from any of the various handpumps, so made do with a keg Banks's Original mild (£3.10).

Right next door to The Vine. A bit rough around the edges and no ale on offer. It was a toss up between Banks's Mild and Guinness. The black stuff won so I had a quick one and moved on.
