The Waterfront Inn - JD Wetherspoon Pub in Dudley

6-7 Level St, Brierley Hill DY5 1UA

About This Pub

Ah, The Waterfront Inn – it's one of those Wetherspoon pubs that really hits the mark for a relaxed evening out. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the staff are absolute gems; they're chatty, helpful, and go out of their way to make sure you're looked after, which always lifts the spirits. The atmosphere is just right too – whether you're soaking up the sun outside or settling in for a chat indoors, it's got that welcoming pub feel. And the food? Well, it's fresh and flavoursome, even if it does take a moment to arrive, reminding you that good things come to those who wait. Plus, they've got a cracking selection of drinks and keep the place spotlessly clean, which is always a plus. On the flip side, though, it's not without its hiccups; I've heard tales of long waits for orders that leave you twiddling your thumbs, and the prices are a bit steeper than your average Spoons, so it might not be the cheapest night out. The venue itself is on the smaller side, making it easy to overlook if you're not familiar with the area. All in all, it's a solid choice for a catch-up with mates, as long as you're not in a massive hurry – just pop in, grab a seat, and enjoy the laid-back charm.

Probably one of the best spoons I've been to. Good atmosphere, staff are incredibly friendly, food takes its time but is always fresh and delicious. Didn't catch the names of the staff but the gent with the beard was particularly friendly. Keep up the good work!

A bijou Spoons, easy to walk straight past. Prices at the top end of the Spoons pricing scale but always good to find toilets on the ground floor.

I recently visited the Waterfront Inn with a friend, and overall, it was a fantastic experience. The atmosphere was vibrant, and we enjoyed spending most of our time outside, thanks to the lovely weather. I appreciated that all necessary safety precautions were in place, which made us feel comfortable. It was also great to see baby seats available, indicating that the venue is family-friendly. The restrooms were clean, a definite plus for any establishment. The bartender was polite and attentive, although we did have a brief wait of about 5 to 10 minutes at the bar the price of the drinks are very reasonable. I noticed that there was table service as well, and the staff regularly walked around to clear empty glasses, which kept the space tidy. The view of the waterfront was absolutely beautiful, adding to the overall charm of the place. It's worth noting that the inn is located in a mall-like setting, which is convenient. However, I did find it a bit surprising that there was no visible security presence. Lastly, I noticed signs indicating a zero-tolerance policy for drugs, which is reassuring. Overall, I highly recommend the Waterfront Inn for its great atmosphere, cleanliness, and friendly service. I look forward to returning!

Went in for a quick meal after work amd was left waiting for over an hour with no sign of food or drink ordered from off the app. Once I asked the staff if they had received my order they accepted that they had indeed received this order, for some reason which they did not seem to have any idea why it was not even in the process of being made for me. If I had not of said anything I would of been waiting for my food indefinitely. I NEVER write a review for anywhere but this took the biscuit. Only saving grace was the lovely lady that sorted it out with the brown hair who was very apologetic and understanding. Order was brought to me eventually after 2 hours amd an item missing which I had to ask for further this was them relayed to me that I would not be receiving. Very poor service even by wetherspoon standards.

As always the customer service is second to none. The food was served in a timely manner. The staff were friendly and engaging. A first rate selection of wine, beer, lager, cider, soft drinks and hot drinks. This is a relatively small Wetherspoon. It it well presented, clean and tidy. The toilets are clean. There is also an outdoor seating area. This Wetherspoon is well worth a visit when visiting the Black Country for a bite to eat and a drink at a very reasonable price.
