About This Pub
So, if you're after a proper good night out in Wolverhampton, Canalside Lounge is one of those places that just feels like a breath of fresh air. Picture this: you're tucking into some seriously tasty Punjabi food, like their signature mixed grills or soul-warming curries, all prepared with a clever modern twist that keeps things exciting without losing that authentic flavour. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, folks absolutely rave about the food and how welcoming the staff are – they go out of their way to make sure everything's just right, whether you're there for a cosy date or a lively group catch-up. The canal-side setting adds a lovely touch, making it feel a bit special, especially on a sunny day when you can sit outside and watch the world go by. On the flip side, though, it's not without its little niggles; the hours can be a bit tricky to pin down, and being a bit out of the way means it might not suit everyone for a spontaneous visit. Overall, it's a solid choice if you're in the mood for something hearty and homely – I'd say give it a go, but maybe plan ahead to make the most of it.

Cons
-
The operating hours can seem a bit confusing at times, with varying schedules listed, so it's worth double-checking before heading out to avoid any disappointment.
-
As a hidden gem on the outskirts, it might not be the most convenient spot if you're in the city centre, and getting there could take a bit of effort.
-
With an average rating of 4.1, it suggests that while most visits are brilliant, there might be the occasional off day with service or food that doesn't quite live up to the hype.
-
It's moderately priced, which is fair for what you get, but it could feel a tad steep for a casual midweek meal if you're watching the pennies.

A Hidden Gem by the Canal!
I found this place on TikTok and I’m so glad I gave it a try. The food was absolutely great, and the service was just as good — friendly and attentive. What really made the experience for me, though, was the canal-side seating area. Sitting there with the sun shining, enjoying a delicious meal and the peaceful view, was just perfect. I’ll definitely be coming back again!
This place is a hidden gem beautifully decorated service was excellent really nice atmosphere and a very well stocked bar. Food was very well presented and cooked to perfection seasoned beautifully everything about this place is 5*. I've eaten on most of the curry houses and bar and grills in town this is definatley my new favourite. To top it off we get the bill and it was very reasonably priced will definatley be revisiting this place
First visit and it didn't disappoint. The shared mixed grill was excellent and plenty of it. Great choice of sides. Food 100%. We were served by the lovely Emma who was very friendly, chatty and so polite, an absolute credit to the place. 5 star 🌟 all round, great food great service. Highly recommended.
I went here yesterday after the England Euro Game as it was recommended to me by a friend for the 'best grill'. The whole experience from start to finish was amazing. We were greeted by a young lady who was friendly and welcoming and promptly took our order. We decided to have a sharing dish and the variety and food was amazing. I will be sure to be recommending here in future too and will definitely be returning! Thank you 😊
We went after a friend recommended it, and I can say we were not disappointed.
Lovey atmosphere, nice interior and vibe. The staff were really fantastic and helpful and the service was top quality.
The food menu was good, plenty to choose from, and a good variety for vegetarians too (well priced). The food was lovely, we ordered a variety of foods and was not disappointed.
I would definitely recommend it 👌
