Britannia Hotel Wolverhampton

You know those nights when you've missed last orders everywhere decent and you're walking down Lichfield Street wondering where's still serving? The Britannia's bar never closes, which is both its biggest selling point and probably explains why the reviews aren't exactly glowing. It's the kind of place that exists purely out of necessity rather than ambition. The setting is classic chain hotel bar - think tired carpets, generic furniture, and that slightly stale atmosphere that comes with being open around the clock. You're not coming here for craft cocktails or artisanal anything. But if you need a pint at 3am or you're killing time before an early train, it serves its purpose. The staff have seen it all, which means they're either incredibly patient or completely dead behind the eyes, depending on the shift.
