The Hawne Tavern, Halesowen

A good back street locals pub. Popular with a large bar with pool table and separate seating areas plus a smaller cosy lounge. There are three regular and up to six guest ales. Tried the Bathams Bitter and Wye Valley HPA, both good. Thatcher's Heritage cider also available here.

The Waggon and Horses, Halesowen

This is still a great real ale pub, with a decent range of good value food. It's a 'drinkers' pub' but not a drunkards pub: nice atmosphere of people supping their pints appreciatively & chatting with family or friends.

Went there for lunch recently, having only been for drinks previously, & was impressed by the food: a relatively small but interesting menu on offer, from traditional pub grub to the more exotic/spicy, all at down to earth prices.

The beer prices may not be the absolute cheapest around but what a choice! 14 pumps including Abbeydale, Angel Ales, Bathams and Oakham, all well kept and you can have a taster of one or two if the variety leaves you uncertain which to choose.

This is not a posh pub nor a posh restaurant but as a 'real' pub selling good beer with tasty food available it's hard to beat.
