About This Pub
Oh, let me tell you about The Old Glasshouse Sports Bar in Dudley – it's one of those places that just hits the spot for a good time out. From what I've gathered from the reviews, the food is an absolute highlight; people are going on about how delicious and well-prepared everything is, whether it's a Sunday lunch or something from the new menu. The staff really stand out too – they're polite, knowledgeable, and make you feel like you're chatting with mates behind the bar. Plus, the revamp they've done is spot on; it's modern and pretty, all set in a historic building, which gives it that unique charm. They've got live acts and entertainment that add to the fun vibe, and it's dead handy for hiring out for parties or anniversaries. On the flip side, though, there have been a couple of niggles, like the occasional booking mix-up that could leave you scratching your head, and the opening times look a bit all over the place, so you'd want to confirm before heading over. It can also be quieter than expected sometimes, which might not suit if you're in the mood for a packed house. All in all, it's a solid choice for us pub goers looking for a balanced spot with great grub and a welcoming feel, but just keep those little details in mind for the best experience.

We came on Saturday following Valentines, and after our 1st course I couldn't understand why we were the only people in there. Absolutely stunning food, the young man who served us was polite and helpful. We went into the sports lounge after for after dinner drinks and again, great atmosphere, but couldn't understand why we were alone. Would Absolutely recommend the old glass house for food, or drinks, outside of their events. Thoroughly enjoyed our time there and are planning a return visit. Thank you so much for making it a lovely experience.
Absolutely amazing food staff were lovely and very helpful knew the menu well, when asked can't fault the place. Entertainment on in the bar which finished our night off lovely.
I have always loved the Old Glass House in Dudley but heard it was under new management and couldn't wait to try it. The revamp looks lovely! They have done it really well and it looks very modern and pretty!
The food was amazing, they have done a really lovely job with the new menu. We had a lovely bottle of red, two starters, two mains and two cocktails and it came to just under £90 which is very reasonable for the quality of the food.
It was very quiet for a weekday as expected, but was still really lovely atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and the service was good!
I'll definitely be returning again. Had a lovely evening. 😊
Although we have eaten here before it was our first Sunday lunch. We thought we would give it a try as we had heard good reports.
Unfortunately our booking seemed to have "disappeared" but no problem as the very helpful "Alicia's sister" found us a table.
The service and atmosphere was relaxed which suited us.
The roast beef, and turkey were excellent, tasty and tender however the "trimmings" were a little sparse, with only a quarter of a roasted carrot and same for parsnip. We also thought the green beans and savoy cabbage were a lot less than "al dente" and would have benefited from an extra few minutes cooking, I suspect it wasn't just us judging by what was being left on the plates of others and suggest it needs addressing.
The desserts were a good end to a pleasant time.
Excellent food. Friendly helpful staff.
Clean. Cosy atmosphere.
