Walsall:
Previously The Wharf and Bar 10.
Mikee Evans has been here following the refurb, re-naming, and re-opening. We were behind the curve, but a visit to the nearby cinema presented the opportunity. As you can see, we’re following him around the re-openings.
I was a little surprised that its latest incarnation- a sports bar with a bit of an American diner theme going on- was a Davenports house- it doesn’t appear on their website- but the branding and their beers are there. There’s aspects of decor that echo The Queens Head, as well.
It’s not bad. It’s been tidied up- notably the toilets- but given their state when is was Bar 10, it’s a good thing- I’m not fussy, but pissing into the canal basin would have been a better idea then. Now, they’re clean and tidy.
There’s some cask, and a big choice of other stuff. There’s a diner-like menu- which while my burger suffered from tall burger syndrome, and there was enough salt on the fries to grit the roads with, but overall, it wasn’t bad at all. I’m not sure if I’d like it as much in the evening, though.
