This is a pub in an old medieval building in the St John's area of Worcester. We attempted to visit here on a crawl of Worcester during Covid times back in 2020. As I remember, you had to call in advance to gain entry and large groups were not allowed. So we have it up as a bad job.

A few years on and undeterred by the limited opening hours (only open weekday evening with slightly earlier weekend opening times), I returned to find what was probably the highlight of 13 pubs in Worcestershire for this visit.

Spread over a couple of rooms on the ground floor and with further space upstairs, there is plenty to admire here, not least the excellent beer and cider selection. The 4 real ales were Hop Shed Drizzle, Goff's Black Knight, Brew 61 Bramling Best & North Cotswold Winter Solstice. Ciders were Barker's Perry, 21 & Plague Doctor, Abrahall's Lily The Pink, Snail's Bank Apply Dapply, Hairy Ferret Traditional Scrumpy & Farmer Jim's Apple Red. The 21 & Plague Doctor are dry and sweet ciders (not sure which one is which) that are mixed in accordance to the drinker's taste.

I ordered a half of the Plague Doctor and thought it was a pretty generous half pint, until I realised that they'd given me a schooner and charged me accordingly. It would at least have been nice to have been asked! I believe I also later overheard that it was cheaper to pay with cash, as opposed to card.

Locals were being kept amused by the local PC (apparently a regular in the pub) who was moving on or ticketing incorrectly parked cars. With parking spaces on the street outside very much at a premium, they were happy to view his antics.

I'm glad I've finally got to visiting the Bull Baiters and despite my mild irritation with the measures dispensed, it is certainly one of Worcester's highlights.

This cracking little micro bar ticked more boxes than a lot of the excellent bars we visited yesterday, and well deserves it's place in the 2018 Good Beer Guide. We were a coach group of around 20 people and were welcome. The selection was brilliant. Battledown Original, Swan Porter, AJ's Ruby, Bewdley Jubilee, Totally Brewed Punch in your Face, Birmingham Confused Brummie and our choices from Swan and Bewdley were great. Beer is served in one third, two thirds and pints with the prices displayed beneath the clips. Flights of thirds can also be purchased. Take away cartons too. Pump clip decor round the walls, and forthcoming ales shown too. Brilliant place. Must get back there and wish it was closer to home.

Your enjoyment of this place will be purely down to how you feel about micropubs. This could be a blue print.

Former shop, with a brightly lit single room. There is nowhere to hide in here. Your drinking will be in full view of the other punters, sat in a horseshoe on hop sack covered furniture. The Shop Keep looks out at his punters, king of all he surveys.

Beer wise - four handpulls were noticed - some with handwritten signs. A previously unseen Three Tuns Stout was chosen. Love their ales and this was a decent example, although the head soon disappeared.

Came for the Good Beer Guide Tick.
