Crown & Cushion in West Bromwich

Ah, let me tell you about Crown & Cushion – it's one of those pubs that just feels right, you know? Tucked away in West Bromwich near the park, it's a family-run spot in a historic building that gives off that warm, welcoming energy from the moment you step in. The inside is dead cosy with a fireplace that's perfect for winter chats, and they've got a lovely selection of beers, especially that Guinness that's always spot-on after a stroll. The karaoke on Fridays and Saturdays is brilliant fun, getting everyone singing along and having a laugh. On the flip side, it's a bit old-school with no website, so you might struggle to get the lowdown online, and remember to bring cash if you're buying a round under a fiver. The hours can be a bit murky too, so it's best to confirm before you go. All in all, it's a top choice for a laid-back evening, but with a few quirks that keep it feeling authentically pub-like – I'd say it's worth a visit if you're in the area.
