Aldridge:
This was a visit of unexpected delight, and then disappointment. Delight that the pub was open again, then disappointment that the bar was devoid of atmosphere, all bare floorboards and multiple TVs playing football loudly (with no-one watching), and the poor beer choice (no cask ale), plus the little ray of sunshine serving. Shame, it used to be a great little pub. It wasn’t awful and is probably the closest thing to a decent pub near the centre of Aldridge, but that’s not saying much.
