The earl of lichfield in Lichfield

Friendly pub. Well kept beers. Good vibe.

Lovely pub super friendly staff and the beer and ciders are perfection its still one of the best.

Brilliant pub and really great decently staff. Highly reccomend.

We visited Lichfield over Christmas. This pub didn't have much of a selection of ales but the atmosphere was brilliant. We'd been sat down in armchairs when someone started playing the piano. Everyone in the pub joined in to sing along with Fairytale of New York

A nice pub with a good atmosphere and even better bar staff - Olly is the best in Lichfield

Great little pub with big atmosphere

Good atmosphere, quick service and decent beer

Fabulous welcome. Great music. Friendly crowd. What's not to like?! (And nobody paid me to say that either! I just think it's the best in the city.) The most inclusive, everyone welcomed, comfortable pub in Lichfield. And it has a big beer garden for all weathers! ❤

Popped in on the way to the Cathedral, friendly atmosphere nice drink.

Love visiting this little pub, it’s friendly the staff are very welcoming, and they serve a good Guinness.

i came in for drinks on monday morning and spoke with a bartender called olly, he’s an absolute credit to the pub! very welcoming and nice he made my day!!!!

Just a good night and got bladdered

One of the best pubs i’ve been to in a while! The drinks were great, and the service felt both fast and accommodating. I really enjoyed both the atmosphere, and my evening here, and i will definitely be coming back again. Great pub, Great people, and even better drinks! Keep it up!

The BEST pub in Lichfield. Very friendly staff and clientele. Can always pop in and have a chat with whoever is there. Good selection of beers and a huge selection of flavoured gins. Live music at the weekends. What's bot to like? In fact, I call it The Centre of the Universe.

My Spritit/Mixer drink was made exactly to my taste! The bar staff asked what size glass I wanted and how much mixer. There aren't many places which do that nowadays! The bar staff are nice and helpful!

Always incredibly welcoming down at the Drum, lovely sheltered beer garden with wonderful bar staff and great selection of drinks

Best pub in Lichfield, no competition, would rate higher if I could!

If you are new to Lichfield you will find this small cosy pub one of the friendliest in town. It’s a place where you can be comfortable sitting reading or having a pint with friendly locals you’ve only just met. A great live music venue too. Susie and her team work hard to please.

Fabulous selection of gins all served with fresh fruit and a smile, friendly staff great atmosphere and lovely outdoor area

Excellent pub, well run with fine ales and a friendly welcome guaranteed. Been using this pub for years and it’s my first choice for a pint in Lichfield. Particularly enjoy it when there’s live music playing.

I've spent many lovely afternoons and evenings in the Earl since moving to Lichfield almost 8 years ago. The landlady is always pleasant and kind, staff are super helpful and the drink selection is well varied, with clean lines and good service. Music is put on frequently and usually well attended. Great little pub with friendly locals and good conversation. Keep up the good work guys!

Absolutely shocking pub, lady behind the bar messed up the order by putting my drinks on someone else’s bill, it was then apparent why.. as she was drinking behind the bar and serving alcohol behind the bar which may I add is illegal. I point this out to her and she ignored me. Pubs gone down hill over the years what an absolute shame that’s all I can say

Been here a few times now, been great each time. A small but friendly pub. Not much space but never been in when it's been overly crowded. Staff are friendly and attentive.

This spot is a great local pub, so inclusive and always meeting new people there. Suzie is wonderful. Chatted to Aaron behind the bar too who was lovely. Great live music and variety of drink options!

This is my favourite pub in the whole world. Travelled all the way to this fine establishment from Australia after hearing so many good things. Terrific beers and even better people. Very very good!

The Earl of Lichfield is one of my favourite pubs in the world. A very warm and inviting atmosphere that you can spend ages in and feel completely at home. Some of my favourite memories made here and the staff are absolutely fantastic! Great live music and an even better selection of drinks. Thanks again, will be returning for the rest of time.

Fantastic little pub. Welcoming locals and fantastic staff especially Jake. A real gem in the heart of Lichfield.

Brilliant staff and lovely pub.

A great atmosphere. The staff and regulars are warm and welcoming. Good selection of drinks. Sweet garden. Lovely refurb.

Wonderful pub great staff and a safe place if you're on your own you feel very welcome and great real ale 🍺

Lichfield's best-kept secret, a marvellous little pub with a welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff.

Sorry we didn't stay for a drink this time, the over-powering smell of toilets was completely off putting

Brilliant local pub with nice and friendly staff, brilliant beer garden that the sun is great in. Regular live music gigs. Brilliant local pub.

Great local pub with friendly staff, cosy beer garden which is a real sun trap. Regular live music gigs. Great local venue

Always a great atmosphere and a warm welcome. Particularly enjoy the live music (Tom) and the sociable beer garden. A jewel in Lichfield’s crown!!

A welcoming atmosphere, friendly bar staff, an old fashioned authentic pub. I will definitely visit again.

Great local pub with great staff and great venue for live music ..and the beer garden is a great sun trap with covered area and heaters

Great social pub in the heart of Lichfield, if you want to meet locals , this is the place. Great beer garden and lots of live music 🎶

This pub is known locally as "The Drum" . Only popped in for a drink really good, friendly bar staff and landlady. Pub is in the market place area of the city. Very fond of music in this bar which is also dog friendly - laid back feeling to the place - loved it !

Really nice, was really surprised at the difference of the place compared to many years ago when I used to go there 😁👍

It's the Drum. Old established. Good Ale Nothing else to say

Service and drinks all good. Nice atmosphere and clean.

I absolutely love this pub. Great landlady and friendly staff, fantastic live music and fab locals that make you feel welcome.

Very welcoming pub to everybody - made to feel like a regular even though it was my first visit. Friendly, efficient staff who were on top of everything, accommodating everybody's needs - ramp brought out for a guy in a wheelchair and bowls of water provided for the dogs! Incredible selection of gins! Great music. Great atmosphere. Will definitely be back! Thank you!!!

Great “proper” pub in the heart of Lichfield that ticks all the boxes. The staff are really welcoming and the place has such a friendly vibe. Fantastic range of well-kept ales, beers & ciders plus a rainbow of gins & vodkas. Live music is a regular feature. There’s a great courtyard area at the rear which is partially covered. The quirky, colourful decor only adds to the charm of the place. Love it.

Nice atmosphere with great live music and friendly staff. Big selection of drinks and heated garden. Great for date nights and safe to go on your own as a lass, no grief and nice locals.

This a lovely cosy pub, the gin selection is out of this world and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. I would recommend this place 100%

Easily the friendliest and most welcoming pub in Lichfield! Every time I go in I end up talking to someone completely new and it has such a good blend of people. The drinks are very reasonably priced and the staff are always friendly and ready...

Went in there on Sat 18 Feb. With the wife. I went up the steps to the bar corner. The barmaid was serving at the long end. She walked towards me but only to serve a regular that was walking up to the bar behind me. She then went back serving regulars at the long end. After 10 mins we walked out. Should be first come first served. I was invisible!

Nice little pub on the corner of the square. Nice pint of Pedigree and live music on Sunday afternoon, will look forward to coming back 👍🏻

Lovely little pub, cosy and friendly. Great position in town and good pricing. Recommended

Have started coming here again after an absence of many years. We like the decor and feel of the place but most of all, the Pedigree is consistently very good.

Lovely pub with great ales and quirkiness in the beer garden.

Warm and friendly staff. Great ambience in the pub on a cold winter's night too!

A great local pub with decent prices, friendly staff and a small but loverly beer garden that is great for sunny afternoons.

Great little boozer probably the best in Lichfield

Had a few cold scoops 🍺🍺👍the staff were lovely and welcoming 🙏 locals were very friendly too 👍10/10

Lovely staff and great place to drink and unwind

Not lively enough, perfect if you like a quiet place #OldMansPub

One of Lichfield's hidden gems. Great atmosphere. Fab live music. Lovely staff.

Such a lovely atmosphere and great bar staff, had lovely chat with the young chap, i am new to the area so it was very nice to have such a warm welcome to the pub and I'm looking forward to coming back again. I can't remember for the life of me his name. But will ask new time highly suggest this pub to anyone visiting lichfy

Normally great pub let down on my last visit, with six quaffers, by a couldn't care less barman.

The drum is the "looker" amongst all the others, well in my opinion anyway

Too crowded , could not find a seat .

Lovely little bar, decently priced!

Best pub in Lichfield. Friendly regulars and staff. They keep a great Guinness and real ale, and put on some cracking live music every now and then.

Well the Drums the Drum good as always

Very friendly local great entertainment.

Best pub in Lichfield, hope you’re well Kev!

Love this genuine old boozer, staff lovely too

Great little boozer with a nice atmosphere and keep a good beer.

Very cheap drinks. Good atmosphere.

Large array of beers and ciders very handy when waiting for train

Thatchers on tap, Great atmosphere decently priced great place

Brilliant place staff amazing !!!

Had a lovely drink as it was so hot outside and chat with the staff it was nice to put my feet up and feel relaxed

Great outside space. Good friendly service.

May be ok for locals but not very welcoming who are visiting the area, booked a table waited by bar for a while to be told where our table was ( did not even show us to the table) as we got to a table...

Fab little place with loads of different types of gin!

Brilliant staff, excellent service and very good selection of drinks. Very well to visit.

In all of my years visiting and knowing the "Drum" have I ever seen a grumpy Suze or Warren. Great people and beautiful couple. Please visit!!!!!

Nice pub. On the smaller side but nice cozy beer garden

Cosy pub middle of Lichfield. Friendly clientele, pleasant staff.

Super friendly staff and great outdoor area!

Lovely staff, pleasant atmosphere

Excellent music pub in the heart of Lichfield, on Market Square. Friendly staff, great bunch of locals, very welcoming

First class bar,good choice of beers and very friedly staff, well worth a visit.

Nice place place for a quiet drink whilst in between shopping.

having witnessed the last reviewers visit i must say i was a little surprised a the hard working ,friendly and courteous bar staff giving you your marching orders after 45 seconds as they can usually spot an arrogant, pompous fool in half that time which...

Accosted in a very inhumane manner. ...horrid. I put it down to stress..probably multiple stress types. Asked to leave within 45 seconds....which I happily accepted. Toxic, aggressive, bullying behaviour....ouch. Vest la vie.

Amazing service... good prices clean presentation would recommended to my friends for a good time and happy days
