About This Pub
Ah, the Vine – it's one of those hidden gems in West Bromwich that really warms the cockles of your heart. From what I've gathered, it's got this lovely, old-school feel where you can pop in for a pint and end up chatting away like old mates. The staff are absolute stars, always on hand with a smile and top-notch service, and they've got a cracking range of beers and snacks to keep things ticking over. Now, the food's where it truly shines; folks rave about the curries and tikka, saying they're the best around these parts, and it's all at prices that won't break the bank. But, let's be straight, it's not perfect – the seating's a tad basic, more like a canteen setup, and some punters have mentioned that recent changes have dulled the original character a bit. Still, if you're after a relaxed spot for a bite and a bevvy without the crowds, it's well worth a visit. All in all, it's a solid choice that balances the good times with a few areas for improvement, making it a place you'd happily recommend to a mate.

Was. Like stepping back in time people from years ago where we all took our children were in there was so nice to see them all. Was warm cosy friendly and good service
Nice traditional pub pleasent staff good selection of beers and bar snacks
Great food. Best tikka in the area. The only reason I don’t give this place a five star is because the seating is like a canteen. It would be nicer if there were booths and proper tables and chairs
Absolutely spot on meal every time a little bit of the magic of the grill experience has gone .. the elder chefs missing new covid screens have removed the character a bit but the place is still the best around..
Best curry in the Midlands on Dartmouth Street. Not many people know about it and I hope it stays that way. Selected days food only. Too many people have preconceptions and I'm glad of it. Carry on going to the 1 minute precooked curry sauce u get in its namesake on Roebuck and other places. I will give a tenner to anyone who can get a better curry anywhere in the Midlands. I've been to 90% of the others.
