    Very rude staff member. I was unaware that under 18s are allowed into the pub. The scraggy haired member of staff was blunt, no under 18s on the premises. I was kind and replied OK, I didn't know. I immediately went outside with my daughter. Stopped just outside on the rear patio to put her coat on as it started to rain. He followed me out and rudely said 'no under 18s anywhere on the premises ' close proximity to me, agressive tone, glaring and just walked off. I do not and did not dispute your policy at all, but I am so disgusted with how I was treated. It was unnecessary

    13th May 2023 I came here before the theatre. I had battered halloumi with chips and mushy peas. All washed down with a pint or two of Theakston OP. Delicious. Friendly welcoming staff. 2019 Nice cosy place with friendly mature clientele. Good selection of beers. Juke box has music that covers most tastes.

    A decent pub with a contrasting atmospheres in the different rooms. The menu is decent and the food is good but the prices are a bit on the steep side. It used to get very busy with people from the Belgrade Theatre But now charging over £4 a pint.

    This old fashioned pub hidden behind the Belgrade Theatre. Good beer and home cooked food. Sunday lunch 👍

  • 5/5 Stuart H. 1 year ago on Google
    Great pub serving fantastic beer. Close to the theatre if popping in for a drink before seeing a show. Small enough pub with various rooms and seating sections. Got a bar section and lounge area. Also has an open fire for when the days are really cold. Always worth a visit for a decent beer.

    A pub I definitely would not recommend working at. The landlady enjoys going out of her way to make young staff feel threatened, uncomfortable and upset. Leaving the environment is the best choice I could of made. The atmosphere is also very negative, with the landlady and her friends drinking to the point of threatening costumers with statements like “I will rip off your head and kill you”. Hopefully she seeks the help she needs so the beautiful pub can be in good hands.

    A friendly local in the middle.of the city. I always have a nice time when I visit, The only negative is it's hard to get a table when it'si busy. It's a small, compact pub with good beer and nice staff.

    Been playing at the Belgrade for 10 years and the Town Wall is a home away from home. Great staff, beer is looked after really well and the food is ace.

    Well kept beer, good food. A traditional Coventry pub, for chatting, drinking and eating. All the better for it, long may it continue. Cheers to Matt, Debbie and the team.

    Old school pub with great beer. Had a fun evening with loads of old tunes on the jukebox.

  • 5/5 Ian M. 11 months ago on Google
    We haven't even left the pub but i just had to write a review straight away. This is our first time eating here and definitely won't be our last. I had the faggots with red onion gravy, chips and mushy peas and my other half had the cajun chicken goujons, with chips, salad, coleslaw and a lime and jalapeno mayo. Just wow! Presentation, flavour combinations and portion sizes are excellent. Lovely pint as well. Warm welcome and a nice cosy atmosphere on top make it well worthy of a 5 star review. Matt and his team are doing a fantastic job of keeping traditional pubs alive which is a rarity in this day and age. Top notch!

    Seems like a local in the centre of Coventry staff are always friendly. They didn't have the full menu when we visited as winding it down before starting Christmas menu. Worth noting They don't allow under 18s The sweet potato soup is excellent.

  • 5/5 Gill Y. 4 months ago on Google
    Great pub food was great and good choices on the menu. A bit of a buzz of something going on and fruity cider! The real fires in the rooms was cosy too. Right in centre if town was a plus.

  • 3/5 ARTHUR I. 6 months ago on Google
    Centrally located old Coventry pub, with lots of character. Good selection of draught beers, and the food is good value. Internal decor is looking a bit sad and tired. It's in need of new capital investment .

  • 4/5 Anant P. 4 months ago on Google
    Great place, could do with a couple more zero alcohol beers, is the only request. Thank you Debbie

    Lovely, friendly inner City pub. Cosy and warm. Traditional food, we had a lovely Fish Finger butty! You can't beat a fish finger butty EVER!

  • 5/5 Colin I. 10 months ago on Google
    Excellent pub and staff. Prices are not the cheapest but it is made up by the quality of the beer. The amount of food being served at lunchtimes speaks volumes regarding its quality. My wife loves the place. With no children of any age allowed in it is also a sea of calm, broken only by the restrained volume level of the juke box and the banter at the tables.

  • 5/5 Louise N. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice little place. Hidden away from the main Street but easy to get to. Decent drinks, not a Rio off either.

  • 4/5 Richard B. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely pub. I particularly like the Lounge Bar at the left hand side of the pub. Great choice of real ale. They even had a Mild - I had a couple of pints of that yesterday afternoon. Well worth looking out. It's right behind the Belgrade Theatre.

  • 5/5 Michael N. 1 year ago on Google
    Great local pub. Warm and friendly clientele. Daisy - good luck in New Zealand. I hear their lamb is delicious.
