The Sandwell Pub in West Bromwich

About This Pub

Ah, The Sandwell in West Bromwich – it's one of those local gems that really hits the spot if you're after an easy-going pub experience without breaking the bank. I reckon it's spot on for a casual catch-up with mates, especially if you're into watching the footy or having a singalong with karaoke; the HD screens and live music add a nice buzz, and the staff are always up for a chat, making you feel like a regular from the get-go. Plus, with its prime spot near the bus and tram, it's dead convenient for a quick stop-off. On the flip side, though, it's not all roses – some have noted the beers aren't always up to scratch, and the atmosphere can feel a tad lacklustre on off-peak days, almost like it's trying to find its rhythm. Oh, and keep an eye out for those hygiene niggles, as they might spoil the fun a bit. Overall, it's a solid choice for a laid-back evening, but go in with realistic expectations, and you'll likely have a cracking time.

Some folks have mentioned the beer not tasting quite right, which could put a dampener on things if you're after a perfect pint.
The atmosphere can feel a bit flat at times, especially during quieter weekday lunches, despite being in the town centre.
There might be hygiene issues, like an unpleasant whiff near the toilets, which isn't ideal for a relaxed visit.
It's had mixed feedback on noise levels – while it's not always rowdy, it might not suit those seeking a completely peaceful spot.

Very decent pub with good landlords next to the bus station and near the tram stop. Great for an early drink before a mid day game

Ted Smith

Nice staff and great karaoke using Karafun. Pints are some of the cheapest I’ve seen around too.

George Walters

I didn't have any food so can't comment on that but I had a few rounds of drink with my relatives & the young barman who served me on each occasion was very polite & welcoming. I will definitely return again

Read quite a few reviews slating the place but I guess it's all proportional. Personally I've found the staff helpful and very friendly. Considering it's location it isn't particularly loud or rowdy. The punters generally respect each other and I usually have my drink and enjoy the football in peace with no drama so have no issues popping in for quick stop.

Looks a very lovely pub on the outside, but a sad atmosphere inside. Granted it was a weekday lunchtime visit, but it's in the middle of the town centre. Beer prices are great but the beers didn't taste quite right so I guess it's proportionate. Got within a few feet of the toilets and got a whiff that it would be a bad idea to go in, so held it in until I got home!
