About This Pub

Ah, the Rising Sun Publican – it's one of those unassuming spots in Coseley that you might stumble upon and end up loving for its simple charms. From what I've gathered from the reviews, it's got this welcoming feel where the staff often go out of their way to make you comfortable, like having a chat over a pint, which really adds to the homely atmosphere. The grub's inexpensive too, so you can enjoy a good grill without worrying about the wallet. On the flip side, it's not all sunshine; a couple of folks mentioned that the service isn't always consistent – one minute you're chatting away with a friendly barman, and the next it feels a bit cliquey, which could put a dampener on things. Still, with a solid average rating, it's clear that most people have a cracking time, especially if you're after a quiet evening rather than a bustling night out. All in all, I'd say it's worth popping in if you're in the area, but maybe go with low expectations for variety and keep an eye on those opening hours so you don't miss out.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • It's got a really nice, relaxed atmosphere that's perfect for a casual evening catch-up with mates.
  • As a grill, it offers that classic pub grub vibe without breaking the bank, which is always a winner.
  • They're open every day from 4 PM, so it's a reliable spot for an after-work pint or a weekend wind-down.
Cons
  • Service can be a bit hit or miss depending on who's serving; some visits might feel less welcoming than others.
  • The opening hours are quite limited, just evenings from 4 PM to 10 PM, so it's not ideal if you're after a daytime outing.
  • With only a handful of reviews out there, it doesn't seem to be on everyone's radar, which might mean fewer options or a quieter scene than you'd expect.
  • No website or online presence makes it tricky to check menus or book ahead, which could be a faff for planning.

Went here about a month ago and really enjoyed it. Was speaking with the man behind the bar for some time and he was showing me about the place, really friendly bloke. Went back last week and there was a woman behind the bar and didn't really feel welcome this time. Seemed very clicky. We had one drink and left.
