Hogshead, Wolverhampton

Actually called the Hog's Head since the downfall of the chain, this has kept up its serving of a good selection of real ales. Its a real ale bar done in a modern way, a fine high ceilinged night time City Centre bar, that is a great mix of styles and a fine place for meeting and drinking. The beer is ducking slighhtly and does need a lick of paint, but not worried, it still appears to encompass the original spirit

A bit like a better 'spoons in looks and atmosphere although I guess it was part of Whitbread's Hogshead chain at one time. Tall light wood furniture in one area, more standard size on a raised area with a balustrades, plus the screens tuned to sports with the sound off is rather reminiscent. There is also plenty choice of beers with nine ale pumps plus a cider on a tenth, condition was fine as well. Its got a pool table at one end and a couple of bandits. Reasonably busy on an early afternoon I expect it will get rammed in the evenings, not a bad pub and quite central.
