The Bull Baiters Inn in Worcester

Ah, The Bull Baiters Inn – it's one of those hidden gems in Worcester that just warms your heart from the moment you walk in. I've got to say, the real highlight is their cracking selection of traditional ales and ciders; they're served just right, and it's clear folks rave about them for good reason. The place has this wonderful historic feel, with an unspoilt building that makes you want to settle in for a proper natter with the friendly staff and regulars – no blaring music or screens in sight, which is brilliant if you're after genuine conversation and maybe a game or two to pass the time. It's affordable too, so you won't feel guilty about lingering over another round. On the flip side, though, it does wrap up early around 9pm, which might leave you wanting more if you're in the mood for a longer night, and starting from 5pm means it's not ideal for daytime drinkers. Still, if you're looking for an authentic, welcoming spot to unwind with a pint and some good company, I'd say it's well worth a visit – just plan accordingly and you'll have a cracking time!
