Wheatsheaf

You'll find the Wheatsheaf tucked right on Market Street, where the city's still got actual character. It's the kind of place where regulars prop up the bar and actually know the staff's names—no pretence, just good pub fundamentals done right. The food's the real draw here: honest, unpretentious fare that doesn't mess about, paired with a decent selection of ales that shows someone actually cares about what's on tap. It's become one of those rare Wolverhampton locals where the crowd's mixed enough that you don't feel out of place whether you're in for a solo pint or meeting mates after work.
