The Arches Bar in Wyre Forest

Lee the doorman is a lovely bloke

Nice place for a pint on the riverside. Speedy delivery of drinks via the app.

Didn't eat there.. Good atmosphere and friendly staff.. lovely time in there.. recommended..!!

Was enjoying our evening been for meal at local restaurant and put our half bottle of red wine on table outside on arches table . Ordered drinks including two glasses of red bouncer decided to accuse us of drinking our own wine even though we had told him it was from local Thai opposite and we had purchased wine from them . So our glasses of red was purchased from arches . Ive never felt so ashamed for sticking up for myself. The sp called security on the 21 june 2024

Superb quirky pub by the river.

Only been to The Arches a couple of times and both of those were in the day, so can't comment on atmosphere or vibe. As you'll see from a lot of the reviews, the location is great, particularly in the Summer when you can sit outside and the Severn ebb and flow. Arches is a compact little pub with a quirky interior and a music themed ceiling. There's a darts board and a fruit machine, plus a couple of TV's showing live sport. Plenty of pubs to choose from in Bewdley, but the Arches is worth a pint or two.

Ok bizarre decor. Would be a nice place in summer at side of river.

Arches is the friendliest venue pub/bar around, with a lively vibe that's hard to beat. Right by the river, it's got a cracking view inside and out and a buzzing atmosphere. The music is top-notch, with live DJs and artists every week, and the party keeps going until 1 am every weekend. Plus, they've got a wide range of drinks to choose from, all very good value! If you fancy catching a game, they've got big screens showing sports, adding to the laid-back yet exciting atmosphere. It's the perfect place for a good time, blending great tunes, a fantastic setting, refreshing drinks, and sports action for a night out you won't forget.

The bouncer at arches this friday the one that’s been there a long time, not sure how he hasn’t been fired but the abuse that comes out his mouth is absurd asking people for fights off camera and racist slurs out his mouth don’t recommend this place heard a lot of bad things about him and the way he treats people he has been reported to the police for his behaviour.

So disappointed with the one particular barmaid this evening. Attitude. So unprofessional. No please thank you. Slammed my drink on the bar. Get rid. Normally nice staff. Is it under new management? As Alan would not stand for this service to his customers.

Nice helpfull staff, good selection of Beers and Cider. Wonderful views right next to Bewdley Bridge and the river Severn.

Another night of DJ stus great tunes

Best bar in bewdley . Landlords a diamond.

Most of the staff were great. The minorities let the place down. Im not a big drinker but to be around drunk people and watch the staff and bouncers intimidate and speak down to (with no manors and pure attitude) was not the correct way to deal with someone sat on a stool. “Get off the stool now, they’re put away for a reason” was in my opinion asking for escalation and a problem could of occurred. If they are unable to employ educated, polite staff in an establishment where alcohol is served where people are likely to become intoxicated.. there is the reason why trouble may occur. Maybe without the attitude and total disrespect there could be no need for bouncers? Employ polite staff (maybe not kids with attitude) and then they may save some money in hiring bouncers on a power trip? Not a good invite for future visits. Wouldn’t recommend and not looking to return. Some staff were great and very polite. Shame those that weren’t are the reason why this place will be memorable. Worst bar I have visited for a very long time. Save your money here and support other local businesses in Bewdley.

Did not go inside the Arches bar, we sat outside by the river Severn. My husband tells me the beer was good and so was the service. We did not eat here, so can't really say what the food is like. Plenty of parking in Bewdley, but none by the pub.

I went out with a group of friends and one had a walking aid after an accident. Appallingly, my friend was declined access and all friends were allowed to enter the premises. We explained what had happened and the option proposed was to drink outside with the friend who was unable to. The Equality Act 2010 encourages places of business to adapt settings for visitors, and in this case crutches, something that is easily changeable. Please appreciate this feedback as someone who may need further assistance may need help

Had a nice couple of drinks sat in the sun by the river in a pleasant surrounding watch the dck and the pigeons. Good selection of beers of you like the current popular drinks etc. Was a nice hour or so

Love this place. DJ on a Saturday night and always a good place to be

Friendly staff Loads of outdoor seating by the river Excellent place to spend a sunny afternoon!

Best pub and best view in Bewdley. Great staff too.

Great atmosphere, great location. A must go to bar when you visit Bewdley

Nice little pub 🍻 with plenty of beer to choose from, we spent a good couple of hours in here playing darts and drinking 🚰 very nice 👍 Great spot over looking the river 😊

Lost my mine and body in this place run by the greatest man alive. Fantastic.😁

Probably the best bar in budley always great beer especially Robinsons cider its amazing

Was having a good night up until the DJ suddenly decided that one of our group was to drunk to read the words on the screen something that was clearly untrue, seemed like he wanted to be the star of the show and only have his mates up and singing very disappointing considering they were more than happy to have us in there waiting for our song to come up and put money behind the bar

Sunday karaoke one of the best I've ever been to. Small pub with top class DJ. If you like karaoke then this is the place to go

Fantastic bar for a drink by the river Severn. Lovely people great bar staff especially Joel.Great Saturday

Great bar great staff good music and lovely location

Well set out by river with tables lovely when sun is out

Great vibe here, was very impressed, cocktails are very poor quality avoid at all costs.

Great alternative to wetherspoons. Authentic bar with great team of staff. Welcomed by Gaffers and encouraged to join in with locals. Sports TV and bar games. Not boutique pub like others in town but who needs inflated prices? Definitely returning when back in town. Try it and you won't be disappointed. Thanks sunday John and Cath brummie soz about result for the baggies. KRO see you both soon

Great little friendly boozer. Good Gaffer and nice staff aswell as good Ale

Great night last night , good music n good atmosphere

Monday night, Staff were pleasant, toilet was clean, used the upstairs area, a pool game was being played with music playing, great atmosphere.

Great place to sit outside and watch the river go by, plus Robinsons cider, the best!

A very pleasant experience!!! I particularly liked the draught lager beer.

Lovely seating by the river, friendly staff, great prices.

Couldn't ask for more, good service guiness excellent and at a good price 👍

Fabulous service. Enjoyed it immensely

Lovely drink by the river and the landlord seems like a top bloke which is always a bonus....👍

Friendly staff, lovely location, a very well kept pint of local Bewdley Brewery cask ale and very reasonable prices.

Keeping to social distancing,friendly atmosphere nice pub

I'm writing this review on behalf of my disabled friend Scott, whose been a regular since the first day he stepped inside Arches, with his Dad, Tom, & was welcomed with a friendly smile, a great atmosphere, & a good pint of lager. He tells me the owners have always looked after him very well, especially since Tom passed away a couple of years ago, taking him with them, on a trip to Blackpool & giving him free hair cuts, in the nearby Archer's barbers. Scott's still in lockdown at present, says he's missing you all & is really looking forward to going to Archers again, as he wouldn't drink anywhere else, as 'ARCHES REALLY IS THE BEST!' With one of the greatest views, in one of the nicest towns, it's definitely worth the going.

Fun bar. lovely owner Alan and staff. Could do with better tolet facilities.

Real locals pub with friendly staff and customers

Great place for karaoke on Tuesday evening and Sunday evening ,nice people,very friendly,

Cracking pint of Guinness, great service and very reasonably priced

Lovely pub. Visited twice now. Will definitely go back. Good prices

Brilliant for a nice cider out side by the river watching the tourists

Very welcoming, great atmosphere.

Quirky and lively with fun cheesy music

We went to the arches in february in the snow we had a great night. We will be back again soon it had a lovelly cider

Tolets are horrible and the owner is weird

Nice bar good pint, ideal location

3 toilets available 1 with no lock on door over crowded also

Atmosphere great friendly environment attracts all ages

1st visit really good nice location will be going again

Great pub with very unusual but clean toilets, at least the ladies were. Love the tin bath sinks!

We went to the chip shop and then sat on the arches tables but you wasn't allowed to sit on the tables unless you buy something from the pub ... ridiculous! !

Great place to relax have a few beers ect

Sunday lunch was nice, very friendly helpful staff. Lovely beer garden.

Nice place with the option to sit by the river. Lovely.

Good location, selection of beers, quick service

Friendly atmosphere and staff will be goin whenever in town

It's a not the nicest pub in Bewdley! Seems to attract a lot of people barely old enough to drink? Spoils the character of Bewdley, if I'm honest! I wouldn't recommend it...

Great late night bar for drinks and dancing

Very friendly staff and very welcoming :)

Best place in town for atmosphere and good music

Decent place, nice staff good location along the Riverside, a bit cramped though

Great atmosphere, great beers and particularly handsome and polite bar staff.

What a lovely pub/ entertainment bar . Always feel welcome by bar staff. Music nights and karaoke would give 10 stars but only let me put 5 . Set on the side of the riversevern with outside seating availible . Wheel chair access for down stairs. Upstairs has pool table and jukebox with views over the river .

Super friendly. Like cheers , they seem to remember you. Great staff, who always smile through everything.Also make my dog welcome.

Nice selection of beers and great atmosphere. Needs internal decoration. Starting to border on moving from trendy to needs decoration. When it crosses that point, the price of the beef will not be justified.

Great fun bar with riverside views

Lovely staff nice location right on the river the customers are not bad as well
