Pros and Cons
What's Great

Areas for Improvement

The Old Windmill is a delightful Coventry gem with cracking ales, a warm atmosphere, and plenty of character, though it's best for those happy with cold snacks.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The selection of ales and beers is absolutely fantastic, with a brilliant range of local and international options that really hit the spot.
  • It's got that quintessential old pub charm, with timber frames, low beams, uneven floors, and cosy fires that make you feel right at home on a chilly evening.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and informative, always ready with a chat or a recommendation to enhance your visit.
  • They host a variety of events like live music, cheese nights, book clubs, and beer festivals, which add a lively buzz and keep things interesting.
  • The atmosphere is welcoming and quirky, perfect for popping in for a quick drink or settling in for a longer session.
Areas for Improvement
  • Food options are limited to cold items like pork pies and ploughman's platters, so if you're after something hot like chips, you might be out of luck.
  • It's a bit of a walk from the railway station – about 15 minutes – which could be a minor hassle if you're not up for it.
  • The uneven floors and low beams might not suit everyone, especially if you're taller or prefer a smoother surface underfoot.

Triumph Brewhouse is a hidden gem in Coventry, offering brilliant craft beers and a cosy vibe that's ideal for a relaxed pint with mates, though it's not the easiest spot to stumble upon.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • A cracking selection of craft beers, including their own brews that are spot on for flavour and variety.
  • Super friendly staff who make you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.

Areas for Improvement
  • It can be a bit tricky to find, tucked away behind a hotel in the student area, so you might need to put in a little effort to get there.
  • The beers are on the pricier side, with pints around £5 to £6, which might add up if you're planning a long session.
  • It's closed one day a week, so it's worth checking the opening times to avoid a disappointment.

Broomfield Tavern in Coventry is a cracking little pub with top-quality beers and a cosy, chatty vibe that's ideal for unwinding with mates.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • They've got a fantastic selection of craft beers and ciders that really hit the spot – perfect if you're into real ales like Frothblowers or something a bit more adventurous.
  • The atmosphere is spot on; it's a proper old-school boozer that's warm, welcoming, and just right for a good chat with friends or even bringing your dog along.

  • It's inexpensive, so you can enjoy a few drinks without breaking the bank, and it's open most evenings for a relaxed pint.
Areas for Improvement
  • They don't have lager on tap, just large bottles, which might disappoint if that's your go-to drink.
  • The place isn't all shiny and polished – it's more of a traditional back-street pub, so if you prefer something more modern, it might not be your cup of tea.

Slug & Lettuce in Coventry is a cracking cocktail bar that's all about good vibes, top-notch staff, and fun brunches – a solid choice for a memorable outing with mates.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – friendly, efficient, and really make you feel welcome, like Ben, Tom, and Jaime who kept things running smoothly even during busy shifts.
  • Their bottomless brunch is a real winner, with tasty food and drinks that keep flowing, perfect for celebrations like birthdays or just a fun get-together.
  • It's in a fantastic spot right across from the cathedral, with a cool building and layout that adds to the vibe, making it a great place for a relaxed afternoon or evening out.
  • They've got loads of offers, like 2-for-1 cocktails and a loyalty app, which make it easy to enjoy without breaking the bank.
  • The atmosphere is spot on – lively but not overwhelming, with options for events and even dog-friendly policies on most days.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get quite busy, especially on weekends, which might make it a bit hectic if you're after a quiet pint.
  • There are restrictions for under-18s after 6pm, so it's not the best for family outings in the evening.
  • The pet policy is a tad unpredictable on Saturdays, as it depends on how crowded it is, which could be a letdown if you're hoping to bring your furry friend.
  • With moderate prices, it might not be the cheapest option for a night out, so keep an eye on those deals to make the most of it.

  • The staff are incredibly friendly and provide top-notch service – it's like chatting with old mates behind the bar.

  • Loads of outdoor seating in a spacious garden, perfect for enjoying a drink al fresco on a sunny day.
  • It's a lively spot with events like open mic nights, adding to the fun and community vibe.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's a bit of a walk from Coventry railway station – about 20 minutes – which might not suit everyone if you're in a rush.
  • With the reviews available, it seems mostly brilliant, but that one 4-star rating hints it might not hit the mark perfectly for all tastes, perhaps if you're after something more modern.

The Town Wall Tavern is a proper cosy spot in Coventry, serving up cracking food and a warm welcome that makes it a favourite for a relaxed pint or hearty meal.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely spot on – think homemade Sunday lunches with melt-in-the-mouth beef, creamy mash, and generous portions, all for a bargain at £12.50.
  • Friendly staff who make you feel right at home, whether you're popping in for a quick bite or settling in for the evening.
  • It's got that cosy, traditional pub feel with a roaring fire on chilly days, making it perfect for a relaxed catch-up.
  • Child and dog friendly in the bar area, so it's great if you're out with the family or your furry mate.
  • Loads of history here – it's an old Coventry gem that's barely changed in decades, adding a bit of character to your visit.
Areas for Improvement
  • The opening hours seem a bit muddled with varying times listed for Sundays, which might leave you scratching your head about when to drop by.
  • No website means it's tricky to check the menu or book ahead online – you'd have to ring them or just turn up and hope for the best.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The historic Tudor building is absolutely charming, with exposed beams and a rich history dating back to 1583 – it's like stepping back in time while enjoying a pint.
  • They've got a brilliant selection of gluten-free food options, making it a welcoming spot for anyone with dietary needs, and the meals are fresh and tasty based on what folks are saying.
  • The staff are so friendly and efficient, always ready with a smile and quick service that makes you feel right at home.

  • They've got an upstairs function room with its own bar, perfect for hosting special occasions or a more intimate gathering.
Areas for Improvement
  • Food service wraps up at set times, like by 3pm on Sundays or earlier on some days, so you might need to plan ahead to avoid missing out.
  • It's not the place for watching sports, as they don't show Sky or BT Sport – more focused on chats and atmosphere than screens.
  • They close for a few days around holidays like Christmas and New Year's, which is understandable but could catch you out if you're visiting then.

  • It's quite focused on sports and events, so if you're after a peaceful, quiet spot for a chat, it might feel a bit overwhelming at times
  • Service can get stretched during busy periods, like match days or parties, which is understandable but can mean a short wait

Sky Blue Tavern is a cracking little spot in Coventry, blending a warm, footy-loving atmosphere with tasty Indian grub and friendly service – ideal for a casual outing with mates.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely lovely and welcoming, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • The food is a real treat – think delicious Indian grills and generous portions that won't break the bank.
  • It's a brilliant spot for footy fans, with a nostalgic vibe celebrating Coventry City FC and all sorts of sports.
  • They've got great options for booking tables or hiring the space for events, perfect for a get-together.
  • The atmosphere is spot on for watching matches, with a chilled vibe that ramps up the excitement when the game's on.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get a bit lively and noisy during big games, which might not be ideal if you're after a quiet pint.
  • The football theme is strong, so if you're not into sports, it might feel a tad one-sided compared to a more general pub.
  • With moderate prices, it's good value, but some might find the options a bit limited if you're not in the mood for Indian food or sporty surroundings.

The Coundon Hotel is a cracking little pub in Coventry that's all about good-value grub, friendly vibes, and community spirit, though it does have its rowdy moments.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, always making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • The food is spot on – affordable, tasty options with great choices for vegetarians and those with dietary needs, like gluten-free tweaks.
  • It's a proper local spot with a lively atmosphere, perfect for catching up with mates over a pint, watching the footy, or enjoying events like karaoke nights.
  • Value for money is brilliant; you get decent portions without breaking the bank, and it's family-friendly too.
  • They're really involved in the community, supporting local causes and offering their space for groups, which adds a nice touch to the place.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get a bit noisy at times with clashing music or lively crowds, which might not suit if you're after a quiet chat.
  • Service can be on the slow side occasionally, like waiting a while for your food to arrive, which is a bit frustrating on a busy night.
  • The atmosphere isn't always ideal for a relaxed evening, especially if there are little ones around making a racket.

The Bricklayers Arms is a charming Irish pub in Coventry that's full of warm vibes, friendly service, and decent drinks, though it can get a tad noisy for those nearby.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly welcoming and go above and beyond to make you feel at home, like that young bar person who really made someone's first visit special.
  • It has a fantastic, traditional Irish atmosphere that's all about community and building friendships, perfect for a cosy catch-up.
  • The beer selection is spot on, with reviewers raving about a great pint of Guinness and a generally good vibe for enjoying drinks.

Areas for Improvement

  • With most reviews being positive, it's hard to spot many downsides, but that one complaint highlights how it might not always consider the local area.

Dhillons Brewery Spire Bar is a charming little gem in Coventry, blending historic vibes with cracking drinks and a welcoming feel, though it has a few niggles around upkeep.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely brilliant – it's like stepping into a cosy, historic hideaway in the heart of Coventry, with that old church spire vibe making it feel truly unique and inviting.
  • The drinks are top-notch; their craft beers, cocktails, and even the wines are crafted with real care, and from what I've heard from folks, the mango solero cocktail is a real winner.
  • Staff are wonderfully friendly and accommodating, always going the extra mile to make you feel welcome, whether you're popping in for a quick drink or booking a table for brunch.
  • They've got some cracking food options, like delicious street food and that bottomless brunch deal, which sounds like a fabulous way to spend a lazy afternoon with friends.
  • Events like quizzes and live entertainment add a fun buzz, making it a great spot for a lively night out or a relaxed gathering.
Areas for Improvement
  • There have been grumbles about cleanliness, especially with tables that are booked in advance – it seems like they could do with a bit more attention to keep things spotless.
  • Prices have crept up recently, and some have noticed that the overall standards haven't quite kept pace, which might leave you feeling it's not as good value as it used to be.

What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – always friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • They've got a cracking selection of cask ales, perfect for anyone who appreciates a good pint.
  • The food is spot on, with homemade options like the fish and chips that folks rave about, and plenty of choices for vegetarians too.
  • It's got that lovely traditional pub vibe, with a bit of history that makes it feel special, especially if you're from around Coventry.
  • The service is quick and cheerful, even when it's busy, which is great for a casual catch-up with mates.
Areas for Improvement
  • The operating hours seem a tad confusing from what I've seen, which might leave you scratching your head about when it's best to pop in.
  • With over a thousand reviews, it's popular, so it can get quite packed at peak times, making it tricky to find a seat.
  • Their website didn't load for me, which is a shame if you're trying to check the menu or book ahead online.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – from what I've heard, servers like Beth and Nikki go above and beyond to make your visit special, with friendly chats and top-notch service that really makes the day.
  • Bottomless brunch is a winner; folks rave about the generous portions of food and drinks, plus it's well-organised and loads of fun for groups.
  • It's got a lively atmosphere, perfect for watching live sport or enjoying events, and the beer garden sounds like a lovely spot to soak up the sun with a craft beer or cocktail.
  • Great for occasions like birthdays or hen parties, with options for private hire that keep things separate and enjoyable without any fuss.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get pretty busy, especially on weekends or during big events, which might mean a bit of a wait for tables or service.
  • With moderate prices, things can add up if you're going all out on drinks and food, so it might not be the cheapest night out in Coventry.
  • The varying opening hours could be a tad confusing – one minute it's closing at midnight, the next at 4am, so double-check if you're planning a late one.

Areas for Improvement

  • Their online presence is a tad lacking – the website had an error when I tried it, so it's not the easiest to get more info before heading over.

Areas for Improvement

The Flying Standard is a solid Wetherspoons in Coventry that's spot on for affordable eats and drinks with a dash of local history, though it's not without a few accessibility hiccups.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • It's a cracking spot in the heart of Coventry, right near the shops, making it super convenient for a quick pint or meal after browsing.
  • The decor is spot on, with nods to Coventry's industrial history like photos of old cars and a vintage clock – it really adds a nice touch of character.
  • Food and drinks are reliably good and affordable, just like you'd expect from a Wetherspoons – think quick service on brekkie or a pint of something tasty like Stowford Press.
  • They've got outdoor seating for when the sun's out, plus events like Steak Club on Tuesdays and Curry Club on Thursdays, which keep things lively.
  • Open from 8am till late every day, so it's perfect for a morning coffee or an evening wind-down, with options for everyone from kids' meals to adult favourites.
Areas for Improvement
  • There are quite a few stairs around the place, which might make it tricky for anyone with mobility issues or if you're pushing a pram.
  • One downside we've heard is that they weren't accommodating with an assistance dog, which is a real shame and could put some folks off.
  • It can feel a bit quieter than other pubs at certain times, like midday on a Sunday, so if you're after a buzzing atmosphere, it might not always hit the mark.
  • The interior is pretty standard Wetherspoons style – functional but nothing fancy, so it won't wow you with unique vibes.

Pros and Cons

  • The staff are generally welcoming and professional, which adds to the friendly vibe and makes for a pleasant visit overall.
Areas for Improvement
  • There was this rather unsettling incident where a staff member banged on the toilet door aggressively, which felt unnecessary and a bit scary.
  • It's not the cheapest place around, so you might end up spending a bit more than expected for a night out.
  • Some of the food, like the wings, can be a letdown with too much sauce, which might not suit everyone's taste.

The Stag & Hen Pub

4.2(48 reviews)
82/100
The Stag & Hen is a proper traditional pub in Coventry, full of warmth, affordable grub, and a buzzing community feel that makes it a real treat for a pint and a chat.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you step in.
  • The food is fresh, tasty, and offers great value – think delicious breakfasts and Sunday lunches that hit the spot without breaking the bank.
  • They serve some of the best pints in town, with locally sourced options that really stand out.
  • It's wonderfully dog-friendly, adding to that relaxed, community vibe that's perfect for a casual get-together.
  • The atmosphere is spot on, with live music, sports screenings, and plenty of events that make it a lively hub for locals.
Areas for Improvement
  • There's not much of an online presence, so it's a bit tricky to check out menus or upcoming events before you go.
  • With a smaller number of reviews overall, it might feel like a hidden gem that's still building its reputation.
  • It could get quite busy during weekends or events, making it hard to find a seat if you're popping in spontaneously.

Gosford Arms is a charming, no-frills local pub in Coventry that's all about affordable drinks, friendly chats, and a bit of pool – ideal for a laid-back evening with pals, though it might feel a bit cliquey if you're not from the area.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • Drinks are brilliantly priced – pints around £3.40, which is a real bargain these days!
  • It's got a great atmosphere with chatty locals, pool tables, and a jukebox that keeps things lively and fun.
  • As a proper Coventry local spot, it's perfect for a relaxed catch-up or a game of pool with mates.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can come across as a bit of a locals-only vibe, which might make newcomers feel out of place at times.
  • Some folks have mentioned it's not the most inclusive for everyone, so it might not suit if you're looking for a more diverse crowd.
  • While it's basic and straightforward, it doesn't have anything particularly standout or fancy to wow you.
  • A few reviews suggest it could do with being a tad more open to all sorts, to live up to its potential as a great local hangout.
