The Tap & Tanner

You'll find yourself in a proper local's pub the moment you push through the doors on Darwall Street. The Tap & Tanner doesn't mess about with gimmicks—it's the kind of place where regulars have their spots and the staff actually remember what you drink. The vibe is comfortable and unpretentious, with real ales on tap that rotate regularly, and the kind of food menu that makes sense: good, straightforward stuff that pairs well with a proper pint. It's the backbone of Walsall's drinking scene, the place you go when you want to be among your own rather than performing for anyone.
