In a decaying part of town,don't be put off as this is the lively brewery tap for Backyard Brewery.There is a two room set up served from an island bar.The right side is larger and has a wooden floor ,some bench seating around the walls and a mix of cheap looking pine tables and chairs with some bucket seats in light leather.Unusually furniture,art and bric a brac is on sale ,mainly at the rear of this room and there is a good collection of books to browse.The left side feels quieter and more of a lounge,but there is an upright piano at the back.
Five ales were offered on my trip from various handpumps dotted about but noted on a board.Backyard Lionhart,Citra,Blonde (good nick,£2.75) and Black Raven with a guest in Kinver Noble.
With a drop down screen,quiz night and occasional live music ,this is a lively community boozer and should be included in any real ale tour of town.

Near town centre but in a rather derelict area , its a little uninviting from the outside.
However inside its a lovely traditional 2 roomed pub with central bar, the lounge has a real fire and nice small window seat. Theres a little more basic seating in the bar.
No frills, but all the better for not having them. The beer quality is exceptional

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Fountain Inn
Splendid backstreet pub, retaining two bars with a central servery and very traditional furniture and decor. Being the Backyard Brew House, seven of their beers in a wide variety of styles were available from the two banks of four handpumps, from which I went for the Jigger Red (£2.80). Only had time for a quick pint, but would happily have stayed rather longer.
