| The dearth of decent pubs in central Coventry means that the chances of people unwittingly stumbling on this place are increased. In many other cities, it probably wouldn't even get a look in. It lives in a by-gone era when pub-goers expected to be scowled at by (and justify their choice of clothing / footwear to), a tormented doorman. Treat this place as a working museum-piece of urban-pub history, and view it from the street, but do not get too close. Once you've done this, head off in either direction as there are some genuine welcoming pubs serving good beer (ale or lager to suit) to people of all persuasions. Lehumpt - 26 Aug 2011 13:59 |
| I visited this place on two occasions. Once in the evening where I found the beer to be overpriced and poorly cared for. And once during the daytime where I sampled possibly the worst food I have ever been served. On both occasions I found the staff (who I have since been informed are in fact the management) were downright rude and unwelcoming. Unfortunately I can't even recommend it on novelty value. This place has no redeeming features whatsoever. currysoup - 28 Jul 2011 23:21 |
| What can you say about this place? The worst food imaginable if you gain entry past a self hating racist Asian bouncer who allows no black people in; a po faced manager/owner who would turn your beer sour if he looked at it and a woman, (apprently the owners daughter), who is so angry and ugly she would bar herself if she tried to enter the place. This place is regarded as a laughing stock by the people of Coventry who know about its racist/chauvanistic polices and avaoid it at all costs. topman40 - 29 Apr 2011 16:02 |

| Browns is by far the worst place to eat in Coventry. The refusal to give reasons for nonentry seem to be standard there and it was Not the bald white guy who stopped me, after being rather cross it was pointed out that i being a larger lady of 40 do not fit in with the clientel them being skinny and young........ (this was told to be by the small asian bouncer) so if u are over 25 and aver a size 16 u are not getting in in the evening.... in the daytime however thay are quite happy to take your money......beware people . This 'cafe-bar' should be called Greys not browns.......it is the only place i have eaten where practically all of the food including the carrots was grey......infact the only thing more dismal than the staff, bouncers and food is the art on the walls..... dont waste your time or cash here there are far better places in coventry. cant rate this as the scale does not go into the negative numbers bubbles1968 - 5 Jul 2009 22:04 |
