Soup Dragon left this review about Red Cow
This is a massive, detached pub, with patio areas. It was built on virgin ground in 1930, but there seems to have been a tradition of 'Red Cows' in Smethwick going back for decade before at least - so a license may have been transferred. The pub is a little bland for the 30s, being in plain brick and even lacks the symmetery of the time. The interior has a couple of rooms, as well as a function room/banqueting suite. The main bar room is an L-shaped room in mustard, with white upper wall and ceiling (with moulded cornice). A pool table, table footy and darts are available in one corner. There were a few TVs showing footy and the odd bit of music was mixed, at a decent level and from the jukebox. No pictures are on the walls, just a few beer posters. Around the side, but partitioned off, there is a lounge area, i think also used for dining. I didn't see a menu. The service was fine and the clientele small, but mixed. Beer; no real ale, just the usual tap stuff with a decent enough M&B MILD. Nothing for the real ale fan, but happy enough to had popped in for one.
