Despite the make-over, the pub isn’t bad.
Wish they had kept the stain glass windows in, don’t like the plain windows, they look dull.
The bar now numbers left to right, instead of right to left, 16 real ales, & 4 ciders.
Drinks are still lovely, as are the dinners.
Gone is the handwritten beer board in the right hand corner, now there is at least 3 electronic boards dotted around, behind bar, top floor & 1 other I remember seeing somewhere.
The possibly fake plants up the stairwell, look nice.
Haven’t got use too the table layout upstairs yet.
TV’s are now flat on side wall upstairs & by right hand side window downstairs, instead of in top corners where they were before.
Don’t like the sauce sachets, preferred when condiments were in the numbered small metal bucket, sachets are fiddly & take ages to open & you need lots of them. Needs Encona hot pepper sauce in selection too.
Pictures have been moved around, history of the Green Dragon is now upstairs instead of opp: the bar & some new dinky ones added.
Still a great quiz on 3rd Thur of the month with an excellent quiz master.
The best pub in Walsall by a country mile. Brilliant, knowledgeable staff too.

Visited for the first time on a Friday lunchtime. It was quieter than expected but with a good atmosphere (background music was not obtrusive but just up my street). For someone with mobility problems, it was not the easiest place to have lunch as there are stairs to the bar to order food and more stairs to get to the toilets. The staff were friendly and helpful with advice on the massive range of ales and ciders on offer. The food was good, reasonably priced and well presented with a daily veggie option (which my son tried and enjoyed). Overall we enjoyed our visit but I wish the bar and toilets were downstairs!

Popped in for a pint and lunch. Excellent choice of beers. Ordered the ploughman’s lunch - enough food on that plate to have fed my entire family! Fantastic chutneys and a delicious pork pie.
Service was great too. Highly recommended Walsall pub.

We were staying nearby for 2 nights over the last weekend at a local hotel where food prices were quite high. Had read other reviews and thought we would give it a try and so glad we did, as we went back the following night as well.
Food was wonderful on both nights and reasonably priced, about 8.00 each. Husband had Faggots one night & Liver the second, both were excellent portions. I had Gammon & Scampi again good portions and the chips were lovely crispy outside Fluffy inside, just like a good chip should be!!. Staff were most welcoming. Husband loved the dark beer that it not available in our area.
Would visit again if ever in the area

Pub recently had its 10th birthday celebration as part of the Black Country Ales chain.
With a bonus Remembrance Day quiz to help raise funds for the Poppy Appeal.
The pub also has a very good monthly quiz on the 3rd Thur of the month.
Lovely food served.
The 16 or so real ales are excellent in quality.
Staff are friendly & knowledgeable.
Still the best pub in Walsall by miles.

Let me start by saying what a lovely pub great atmosphere and a fantastic choice of real ales then we come to the food not very good. they say you have to wait for your food because every think is cooked fresh the chips were frozen and the chicken was pale and tasted bland like it had been boiled when the waitress came and asked if everything was o.k with the meal we mentioned about the chips being frozen she just collected the plates and went

Beers good and meals generous and tasty! Beers are always changing, but also resident beers on to please most tastes! We go in there for just a drink or meals as well quite a few times.
