This pub is hidden away in an area of small and medium sized industrial businesses in Graiseley Row, near the A449 Penn Road. In the 1970s and 1980s it was a favoured venue for the real ale enthusiasts, serving excellent pints from the Burtonwood Brewery. Even as late as 2004 it was recommended in CAMRA publications, though the ambience was declining (IMHO) during the 1990s, and seeing it again after many years, I recall the exterior was never that colour. So, the decor now "says it all", but the pub (club?) is no longer open; a new licence application is pending, following "incidents" late in 2008. Photographed in 2017, it is a curry house/bar called The Kasbar, and is painted white again. The Burtonwood sign on the side of the building remains. Image]
