| One to hit for the atmosphere and experience rather than the ale which is a bit up and down, though at least they do always have cask on. This rocker, biker, goth, alternative pub is worth visiting for the teeth adorned throne and coffin shaped tables. Dont be put off by the leather clad and tattood - I have never witnessed any trouble in this pub unlike many of the modern and downright boring drinking venues in town. floydette - 29 Oct 2008 14:25 |
| This is rockers pub especially on Friday/Saturday nights but i went on a Monday afternoon recently and it was empty.Had a pint of Old Speckled Hen which was nice enough but a bit warm.Dr's verdict - go and check out the coffin shaped tables. TheCasualDoctor - 21 Jul 2008 20:41 |
| Went in as part of my "new pub every week" New Year's Resolution. Was a little taken aback by its metalness (looks like an old man's boozer from outside) but was impressed. Three ales on. Bar staff attentive. Decor interesting. Toilets clean. Having read earlier comments please note, I am southern and the service did not seem to suffer for it. I shall make a regular visit before gigs in Wolve-O. davver - 8 Apr 2007 01:01 |
| Used this pub as my solice in the town after work during my contracted 2 years in the city. Was a great pub and had a haunting, different atmosphere with a very obliging and charming bar staff - sadly moved on nowadays to the Perry Barr area and beyond. I liked the beer, ate the food and regularly propped the bar up through the week and esp. on my return off the train on Sunday nights. It's off the well worn track for the city slickers and posers set and thats definitely to it's advantage but with the on set of Wolves becoming a student dominated nightlife scene then I'm the pretentious set get in these days trying on the student discounts etc. Happy memories.

| If you like good music (rock, metal, and those of the ilk), you should love the Giffard Arms. It's Wolverhampton's "alternative" HQ, and although it gets friendlier the more regularly you go there, a warm welcome will await most first-timers too - you don't have to "fit in" (unless you want to go to the weekly goth night upstairs on a Saturday). The staff are really great, true characters - and there's usually a good guest ale on. Personally, I highly recommend this place, but some people are easily put off. darkwinter - 22 Aug 2006 16:57 |
