The Alma Inn

Walk into The Alma Inn and you'll clock it immediately—this is a pub that knows what it is and doesn't apologise for it. Bentley Lane's got that real Walsall feel, and this place sits right in the heart of it, pulling in everyone from builders to regulars who've been coming here for decades. You're looking at the kind of venue where the landlord actually knows your name by drink two, where the telly's always on for the match, and where you can have a proper laugh without anyone batting an eyelid. The interior's got that comfortable, lived-in quality—worn in the best way possible—with enough character to feel like home and enough cold pints to make you want to stay longer than you planned.
