About This Pub
Ah, The River Rooms – it's one of those places in Stourbridge that really gets the heart racing with its top-notch live music and that infectious atmosphere where you can lose yourself in the tunes. From what I've gathered from folks who've been, the staff are absolute stars, always on hand with a smile and ready to sort you out, which makes the whole experience feel warm and inviting. It's brilliantly organised too, with easy booking that lets you dive straight into the fun without any hassle. But, let's be honest, it has its downsides – crowds can build up quickly during shows, turning a simple trip to the bar into a bit of a mission, and while the food's spot on, it's not cheap, so you might want to plan ahead. The drink choices are a tad limited as well, which could be a letdown if you're after something specific. All in all, it's a solid choice for music lovers looking for a memorable evening, but keep those points in mind to set your expectations right – it's got that charm that keeps people coming back, warts and all.

Nice modern venue. Perhaps over-crowded and no way youre geeting a pint while a show is on if its packed. Decent music too.
Great night out. The additional bar and eating area was a great start to our night. Food is a little expensive really, but very well cooked and presented. Really helpful to have a decent meal to soak up the cocktails a bit 😉
The band playing there was great fun and meant we weren't just standing around in the main area just waiting for the main event to start.
The vaping area is great for having a break to cool down and the outdoor smoking area is well placed to allow for regular fag breaks :)
Meteora, Linkin Park tribute, were worth the wait and the ticket price. Audience moshed occasionally at the front but didn't get in the way of other ppl. Love the seating booths at the sides but would love to know if you need to book these or not as it would be great to visit for more gigs despite mobility issues.
First time there to watch a Depeche Mode tribute. Great atmosphere small selection of lagers is my only gripe. Great night and hopefully be back soon.
Fantastic venue even before the refurbishment, what they’ve done (and are still doing) is incredible. The staff are brilliant, and if Jimmy and Tim are handling sound and lighting, you’re in for an even better experience!
It's great having a live music venue in a town. My hearing is poor and I have to wear earplugs at the venue as the sound just bounces around. I was disappointed with the last band I saw there, but to be honest there are a lot of people there who don't much care about the bands.
Worth remembering that with free entry after the band finishes and the disco starts up it can get very packed. Also a bit of a meat market, if you know what I mean.
