About This Pub

Ah, Twisted Barrel – it's one of those hidden gems in Coventry that I've grown quite fond of chatting about with mates. From what I've gathered from folks who've popped in, the place really shines with its impressive array of beers; they're brewing up some absolute belters that cater to all tastes, and it's not just about the pints – they've got a nice selection of other drinks and even accommodate those watching their gluten intake, which is thoughtful. The staff are the real stars here, always up for a natter and dishing out spot-on advice, making every visit feel relaxed and enjoyable. With plenty of seating inside and out, plus events and games like darts, it's an ideal spot for a casual catch-up or a bit of fun. On the downside, it can sometimes come across as a touch subdued, lacking that full-on lively buzz on off-peak times, and with it only open five days a week, you might find yourself disappointed if you turn up unannounced. All in all, it's a solid choice for anyone after a proper pint in a welcoming setting, but do check those hours first to avoid any mishaps – it's worth the effort for a proper good time.

Fantastic brewery with a great atmosphere, friendly staff, good food and most importantly tasty beer. As a coeliac it’s great that not only I can eat and drink canned beers here they are now making an effort to make draft beer gluten free too. I recently spent my 30th birthday here with friends and the staff could not be more accommodating. I would highly recommend!

Great local Coventry brewery very impressive.Two visits so far all Twisted Barrel Brewery ale l drank was in tip top condition. Prices also value for money. Staff are friendly down to earth and knowledgeable about beer available. Well worth visiting this little gem if real ale and ciders are your preference.

Spacious area with very chilled out feel. Had the Detroit sour city. Was fantastic. Had passionfruit flavour with the right amount of sourness (for me). Although no outside foos sign was up but saw outside food delivered to tables. Average going rate for a pint is about £4.5.

Great beer, very friendly staff as well as a very interesting decor. We were offered to try out some samples before committing ourselves to a drink. Took the recommended ones. Unisex toilets. It isn't 5 stars because it lacked something like an atmosphere. Would recommend to those who aren't afraid of trying out something out of the norm😎
