Black Country Arms
by stymaster on Feb.21, 2009, under Walsall
Formerly a strip club, and before that the Green Dragon, this is reputedly one of the oldest pubs in the area.
Anyone that remembers the old Green Dragon that re-opened in the eighties will recognise the interior: It’s almost the same, but clean and tidy. The new owners wanted to create a traditional pub, and they have. There’s a huge range of beer including decent ale (with some in house ale on it’s way), music you can hear but hold a conversation over, friendly staff, and no chavs evident. In fact, the only problem was that the bar got very busy until extra staff arrived.
