The final bar (for me, anyway) of a boozy night. Plenty busy and seemed bigger than I remembered – have they knocked through into a rear area? No chance to see the selection as I dived, Cato-style, into a set of seats that had literally just been vacated in order to nab it for our group. My request of ‘something sour’ came back with a can of Send Me Sunshine by Siren Craft.
December 2017
A brand new micropub style place. Oblong front room with gold and black wallpaper and a small bar room beyond housing a huge but seemingly unused hearth. There is also meant to be a brewery here but the loud and hyperactive owner informed us all that he had run out of money opening the pub so the brewery bit is in stasis. Four pumps with three on; Bewdley Sovereign, Black Iris Endless Summer and Manchester Brew Co Parkin. No complaints with the Bewdley Sovereign and the Manc BC was fine, though not to my taste. Also 4 UK keg and 2 world keg listed on a blackboard, which also informed that the Stone was retailing at £9.50 a pint. It’s a decent addition to an already well-stocked drinking scene in Worcester. Though time your visit carefully as seating is at a premium. Rated 7

A shop conversion micropub ,you enter into a large space with some bench seating and an upright piano with the modest bar at the rear right.It has a hip feel and is aimed at the young ,knowledgeable drinkers and will feature real ale from Locale sources although no sign of brewing on the premises.The welcome was friendly and help was given with ale selection which on my trip was Brew61 Butchers Best and Hazy Bale Best (NBSS 3.5) with Gloucester Cascade,Moor Stout and a perry.There were 8 keg taps for some genuine craft beer and German lagers.
A must visit on any ale tour of the city,close to the Anchor and a worthy double header.Deserves its 2023 GBG listing.

Only two minutes walk from the Plough, so a good double header. This pub had a good atmosphere and fellow drinkers were all friendly and chatty. Four ales on handpump on our visit Bewdley Baldwin IPA, Totally Brewed Four Hop Men of the Apocalypse, Fownes Brewing King Korvas Saga and Windtrip Butchers Beastly Best. Well worth a visit.
