Various lagers, Ciders and beers on tap and a great international bottle selection. Staff are all great and have some awesome banter. They host a great pub quiz that is good fun but also not too easy. If you are staying in any of the City Road hotels this is a standard replacement for any of the hotel bars. They Also have a "Cellar Bar" which is used for functions and live music. Not such a great selection but it has a great atmosphere.

Despite the fact I surprisingly couldn't much taste my favourite hop, it was still a lovely beer. They have a whole collection of quality international bottled beers if you can't find something on the bar to tempt you. Nice feel to the venue, lots of beer stuff covering the walls.

It is two minutes walk from the station so was really convenient. What really shocked be about this place was how small it was! Probably around 200 people max per gig. Tickets were reasonable and they had a £1 cloakroom available. We went into the side bar area beforehand for some pre-gig drinks and it resembled an old social club, a bit dark and dingy but really added to the charm of this venue that clearly isn't a big budget production. Drinks were average venue price so nothing to complain about there. We moved round the main room where we saw three brilliant acts and around 150 people in the audience. A really great atmosphere, the acts were hanging out with the audience and it felt a lot more personal than a lot of big venues. Despite the stupidly sticky floors I will definitely be making my way back here to see some more top quality music.

The owner, who is also the cook, who also helped carry our suitcases in since we are staying here too, was very congenial. He's obviously put a lot of hard work into this pub/ hotel. Great food!

Officially launched in March 2010, this is a new kid on the block in Chorlton's night life…read more Although it is to the rear of The Lounge bar, the management are keen to stress that this is a separate entity, with its emphasis firmly placed on live entertainment. To this end, an independent entrance has recently been installed, so that access is now via the alley to the side of The Lounge. I discovered this place purely by accident, having gone for lunch with friends at The Lounge early in 2010 and seen workmen gutting the back room, whilst electricians installed a new sound system. February saw a total refurbishment to what had originally just been a relatively small function room, and what was a pleasant but unremarkable space has been transformed into an attractive and intimate night time venue. Checking it out upon its opening, I was pleasantly surprised. The ceiling is now swathed in deep red sheer fabric, creating the feeling of being inside a Moroccan tent, whilst recessed coloured halogen spots, twinkling icicle lights and candles provide warm illumination. Mirrors and artwork adorn all the walls, and the overall effect is both tasteful and homely. The bar's owners have clearly had the designers in. Further transformation is evidenced by the change in entertainment and the clientele. In keeping with the bijou proportions of the space, live music is predominantly acoustic or semi-acoustic. That said, it's not as small-scale as you might imagine. When I attended the first night of the newly-launched Cajun Specials session last week, no less than 12 musicians were playing, and those who couldn't fit into the performance area joined in from their seats! Similarly the following night, which is open mic, saw 13 acts onstage, and the evening ended in a big jam session. The lady next to me remarked that it was 'like having a party in your own living room.' I'm told that the owner of Baroque intends building the bar's reputation as a credible live music venue, and if the nights I've attended there over the past six weeks are anything to go by, it's well on its way to achieving that goal. The ambiance is lovely, and the friendly bar staff just don't seem to be able to do enough for you. It's a very relaxed venue, and I'm told that the aim is also to make it a gay-friendly environment, which presumably explains all the pretty design touches. Prices here are pretty good, with a large glass of wine being £3.50, or under the current offer: if you buy two glasses you get the rest of the bottle free. £7 is great value for a bottle of wine! The only slight drawback at the moment is that the gents' toilet is currently behind the stage area, so male patrons have to either walk through the musicians to get to the loo, or else wait for a change-over between performers. However, I'm told that this will be remedied soon because the re-modeling isn't finished yet. It seems that even more ambitious plans are in the works for this cute little bar, and these will be implemented before the summer.

A mere 35 minutes drive from Manchester (Traffic pending) it really is a perfect get away type location. Manchester is a vibrant and happeing place 7 days a week. The city is buzzing all year round depending on if you know where to go. Chester on the other hand is a tad sleepier which isn't a bad thing at all if you wanna get away from the hustle and bustle for an evening. A chilled out sunday vibe was desired last week and I got more than I bargained for. The place was busy but relaxed and there was the added bonus of it beinng an open mic night. (which, I think is a weekly thing. (I think) The decor of this huge pub is something that has to be experienced. In fact it has all the features I like in any building. High ceilings, exposed timbers, brick walls housing industrial artefacts and a gorgeous feature glass frontage (with a tranquil scene overlooking the canal) all make for a perfect setting for a great evening in my book. If any fellow yelpers wanna tag along I'll be heading back there soon on a sunday.

Nice food menu which isn't too overpriced. Lots of locals that visit for meals. They have very nice staff who are helpful and efficient. Telfords offer a great choice of events from music to comedy. Good off street parking. Ohh and their beer garden is right on the canal side. Great for a bit of boat watching in the sun.

On entering through a fairly plain black door you walk upstairs to find yourself in a lovely room filled with quirky lighting, mis-matched chairs, tables and sofas and with loads of art by local artists on the walls, (most of it for sale). The venue regularly hosts gigs, film nights and quizzes with a different theme each week. Last time I did a film quiz there, one of the rounds was 'who can draw the best picture of Steve Buscemi'! The bar is well stocked with a good range of beers, wine and spirits and also sells snacks like crisps and nuts. It also has a really great sound system and a small area that serves as a stage and dance floor. I went to Scary Canary last night for a birthday party and had a great evening, I would really recommend it as an alternative to all of the chain / old man pubs that are in Stourbridge.
