Judging by the outside appearance, this has probably been a public house for a very long time. Today it is called The Lounge and on the outside it says it is a "bar venue". Previously it was The Blue Dog, and prior to that it was Branagans Bar. Possibly it has had other names, or maybe The Blue Dog was its original name. There is a local group of keen young drinkers called the Atherstone Binge Drinking Society, which probably tells you all you need to know. The Lounge was one of the pubs they selected for a Boxing Day pub crawl. It must have felt quite honoured, as they have an awful lot of pubs in Atherstone to chose from!
