Steps from the entrance to the Lych Gate Tavern lead down to the main bar area that has floral wallpaper and feels a little like a living room. An L-shaped serving counter faces banquette seating that runs up the right. The front seating area has banquettes up the left and a fireplace on the right wall next to a lift that rises up to the entrance above. This is a Black Country Ales pub so their Citra Sublime, BFG, Fireside and Pig on the Wall were available alongside Filenfoel Brewery’s Captain’s Choice, Sharp’s Twin Coast, Stancill Brewery’s No 7, Mad Squirrel Brewery’s London Porter, Facer’s Brewery’s North Star Porter (not my favourite of the day) and Lilley’s Bee Sting cider. A very limited keg range was also available from the polite barmaid who can also supply cobs for £2.50 a pop. The likes of Ella Fitzgerald were playing in the background, the only television was being used to display the available beers. The toilets are upstairs, as is another bar with seating and four of the cask options from downstairs alongside the same limited keg. This place is worth a look.

You'd struggle finding it if you didn't know it was there, but once inside this is a splendid drinkers' pub with the typical Black Country Ales excellent range of beers. We had a Fownd Elephant Rider from Kidderminster, which proved to be very good indeed. A nice atmosphere too, with a good crowd of cheery punters, although there is some overflow space upstairs if too crowded. Certainly include on a visit to the city centre.

Black Country Ales pub in the city centre. The entrance is located along an alleyway next to the church. After negotiating the bouncer (as with all Wolverhampton city centre pubs, it is home fans only a Wolves matchday), we descended the steps into the small bar. Further seating can be found down more stairs in an outdoor courtyard.
The usual Black Country Ales are on - BFG, Fireside & Pig on the Wall, along with a number of guests - Elgood's New World Session, Sharp's Atlantic, Mallinson's NZ Double, Titanic Plum Porter & Salopian Lemon Dream. The real cider was Thistly Cross Whisky Cask. Samosas and possibly other snacks were available, but soon sold out after the influx of football fans.
Certainly one of the better pubs in the city centre, but there are better pubs in Wolverhampton (if you are allowed in them) and there are also better Black Country Ales pubs across the region.
