The Little Ale House in Bromsgrove

This is a great pub with only one issue - the horrible white fluorescent lighting. I'd be in there everyday but I just cant relax under hospital lights! If you read this please please consider changing the bulbs to something warmer it would be a massive improvement.

Cozy little bespoke pub. Very unique in Bromsgrove, well worth a visit if you like artisan brewed beers & ciders!!

Decent beer and cider selection

Little ale house is calm and chilled out..diamond little place.🏆👍

Lovely to meet the Bromsgrove Town Cryer, share a few tales & a beer

Beer ok but host is I the wrong job

I only ever Pop in briefly between waiting for buses. Good to see a small business keeping going in the high street. Good selection of ales at competitive prices. This business is well worth a visit.

Another great little pub with ale from cask.Love these type of places

Like an episode of The Detectorists with nice beer. Wonderful.

Wonderful! Good selection of local.and national real ale on cask and keg, tasty lager and two fridges full of wonderful ciders. Fair prices and good atmosphere. Live music occasionally.

Great little pub. Great beer and great atmosphere.

I love that this little pub is honest withoutan ounce pretentiousness, dedicated to quality and has a friendly atmosphere. Older crowd means relaxed and chatty people. Recommended

A very good local real ale pub, small but supplies a growing niche market. A good variety of ale is kept and served well. Only open for limited hours so check on the web pages.

A perennial favourite. No airs and graces just decent beer and friendly staff and customers. A ‘pop-up’ that’s barely changed in 10yrs… what they do, they do right

Rudest bar man ever encounterd should have been a sign to take heed of. Dodgy stomach for days after - hygiene of the landlord should have been a clue to the standard of beer served.

Awful service from a grubby rude landlord with questionable personal hygiene. Avoid if you do not wish to go home feeling like you need a shower.

Great place to meet friends for a catch-up.

Nipped in for a quick pint here. Disappointed to see only 3 keg beers available (all of the similar hoppy variety). I'd have hoped to see a bit more variety (especially in darker beers, only night jar stout on nitro tap). The inside wasn't the most well kept but good to see some seating outside. Compared to other micro pubs (I've visited plenty all over the country), it's not one of the best but still nice to have it in Bromsgrove. I've been in smaller with more selection and the interior let's it down a bit. 3/5 for the time being but I will give it another go soon and the score could well increase. Certainly worth checking out if in the Bromsgrove area.

Best pub in Bromsgrove. Great beer, with choices changing regularly. Lovely friendly staff and great atmosphere.

Hopefully a different beer will be better. But that’s the thing not all ales are the same

We come here every year for our annual bar crawl. Always a great atmosphere with friendly customers and staff.

A1. Definitely worth a visit if your in the area.

Really nice pub. Lots of choice of ales and spirits. The lager isn't to my taste. There was nothing else so I ended up leaving. But everyone in my group said how nice everything else was! The owners were on hand to cater to everyone and the facilities were all clean. A lovely little pub!

Nice selection of ales & ciders

Lovely little place. Great beer. Great atmosphere. The beating heart of Bromsgrove

It is what it is, no need to say anymore. Good drink and friendly atmosphere.

Some great ales an ciders. Friendly place

What a lovely little bar, a good variety of ales at reasonable prices. My visit coincided with a fabulous music and song session.

Really pleasant and comfortable. Always marvellous real ales on tap with a real friendly bunch to join.

Lovely little spot. Great, well kept cask. Friendly locals. Cracking barman.

Nice little micro pub with interesting ales

Lovelly small micro pub with great, friendly owners and proper real ales. Seems to attract friendly customers who will speak and chat to. A range of constantly changing ales! Love this pub!

Small, independent micro pub, a few cask ales on and friendly, welcoming owners. Nice to support a local business rather than feeding chains.

Very friendly. Great real ales. Excellent bottles from Fixed Wheel brewery.

An Excellent place to enjoy a real ale or two, or three..

I really enjoy going to 'The Little Ale House'. Always good beers on and often new things to try on draught or in bottles. Owners are great and plenty of friendly people to chat to.

Made feel welcome and always has a great selection of quality ales and ciders.

Very quaint some lovely ales and good service provided 👍

Great little place with a friendly local vibe

Great people, welcoming, and great drinks. Just watch out for Del, only kidding.

Friendly with good beers and relaxed atmosphere

Great p!ace , great food and great staff , been here lots and never disappoints, great place to meet with friends

Lovely little place, deserves more trade, a little "off piste", but that is part of the attraction. Good quality drinks at reasonable prices and friendly

Good place to have a beer or two

Should be called the Bench and Barrels. Great place to drink 'gravity' real ales. This place is all about the beer. For the serious connoisseur.

This little micro bar deserves success. Popular with the locals and possibly tourists

A nice little micro brewery with comfortable benches, smart bar stools, a blue leather sofa and some kegs converted as stools. Bar snacks also available. No problems to try before you buy. Not too many to choose from, which suits most folks as too many ales cause confusion and slow the bar service down. The first one I tried was good enough to quickly order a pint: Hobsons dark ale, a pleasant dark nutty ale that can be enjoyed all year round!

Fabulous real ale bar. Lovely atmosphere and great staff.

A warm welcome and delightful ale, plus some local recommendations from the boss

Really like this place. No music, no TV and proper beers.

Great vibe, excellent beers and ciders

Love this place staff and owners are so lovely and friendly xxx

Good relaxing friendly place that serves great selection of ales & ciders

Excellent little real ale bar, serving about 6 or 8 real ales, and as many ciders. A selection of gins is also available, and cheese and ham rolls. Outside seating is also available.

My wife and I dropped in for a pre curry beer and everything about the place was wonderful. The staff were friendly and efficient the atmosphere was great and the beer was excellent. What more could you ask for.

Always a good selection of ales, friendly staff Can't ask for much more

Shame this place serves last orders at 10pm Cracking atmosphere and a great selection of real ales. A pleasant change from busy and noisy pubs. 👍😀

Friendly little place selling good beer

Very friendly place beer kept very well

Great beer, great company and you can meet the Bromsgrove Beer Pirates!

Lovely micro with good beer and a reasonable amount of seating. Great atmosphere.

Nice place good atmosphere great drink

Just a perfect place for a pint and a chat. No frills, no fuss, no music and no slots - just good beer, cider and conversation. Bring your dog if you have one and ignore the one star reviews, anything less than The Savoy is not good enough for some.

The ale and atmosphere in the Ale House is superb. Great bunch and the Black Dragon rocks, cheers 🍻

Best pub in Bromsgrove by miles!

A warm and personal welcome here from lovely proprietors, friendly atmosphere and good ale (and cider I'm told) - highly recommended for anyone who enjoys their beer for it's taste and quality

I love this place.. excellent staff and excellent choice of ales. Can't recommend highly enough.. good atmosphere.

Nice micropub with a good selection of ales, friendly bar staff too.

Brilliant as usual love it there

Very warm and friendly and brilliant bluegrass music

Great pub superb ales and cidres, very friendly place.

Great beer, good company and a lovely place to enjoy a great pint of real ale.

Super real ale and sensible price straight out of the barrel 😁

Second visit, last time was over a year ago. Long gap between visits as don't live in the area so was looking forward to a second visit as the first was good. It didn't disappoint this time. A local ale, 'half cut' was tipple of choice on this occasion. Why not 5 stars - surprised that all ales were pale to mid and not anything ruby like on offer. 4 stars feels harsh and 4.5 would be truer score, if available. This isn't a quaint old Inn with beams and roaring fires BUT it is a very good ale house where everyone there is keen on their beer so folks to talk with if you drop in on your own. Looking forward to a 3rd visit!

This is a stripped-back kind of place, with only the essentials: seats, tables, convivial atmosphere, and most importantly of all, good ale. The real ales are all in casks stacked up behind the bar, in the same way as you'd find at a beer festival. They have a good range of ale, some which I'd tried before, and some rarer brews. There is no jukebox, no loud music, no fruit machine and no food (except perhaps the odd bar snack). Heaven!If you're not a fan of ale, then this might not be for you - although I think they do serve cider, and if you're lucky perhaps a glass of wine. But this place is really about the beer, and it does this extremely well.

Always friendly and great selection if cider and perry

Pleasant atmosphere, good ales.

Fantastic selection of real ales, the cheese and onion baps are the best. Great atmosphere.

Wonderful choice of ales and ciders,great little place!

Always a pleasure to stop off for a pint. Some fab beers and ciders. Friendly atmosphere great staff.

great place, amazing people. always a good laugh. very friendly owners.

Great place to stop over, and have few great beers

Situated in the middle of Bromsgrove right opposite the Maekong Thai Restaurant this is a simply furnished beer lovers haven. With up to 9 selected beers on cask every visit there is something for every palate. There are the usual savoury nibbles but also Scotch Eggs and Pies to soak up the beer. You are also welcome to fetch a takeaway and eat it in the bar. Sometimes referred to as the RAB or Real Ale Bar by locals, be sure to give it a try.

Great local ales and ciders. Cheap prices discounts for CAMRA members. Nice quiet adult drinking.

Cracking pub. Best in Bromsgrove.

Excellent place to visit very friendly owners and excellent beers.

A friendly micro pub that serves great ale and cider. CAMRA listed

Best place for good beer in Bromsgrove!

Great selection of ale and friendly staff.

Would highly recommend this place great selection of traditional beers and different ciders.

Great place for a quick ale or drink. Dogs made welcome service good and best of all you are welcome to take your on food so can take your chips in too

Este lugar ha ido cuesta abajo, es una pena realmente, ya que era una buena idea y algo diferente para la ciudad. Pero con clara falta de interés de los propietarios I. E. siempre en un portátil y no el servicio con una sonrisa- nos sentimos muy incómodos. No entiendo por qué también es un paraíso para los perros, de ahí el olor. Mi pantalón cubierto de pelos de perro - sin duda no volveremos. Quizás considerar un cambio de nombre a 'en el Doghouse '

Boozer deliberadamente muy básico en la unidad antigua tienda convertida. Variedad de cervezas servidas directamente desde barriles detrás del mostrador. Suficientes asientos para unos 30 / 40 personas con unos pocos asientos más fuera en pavimento. Ambiente muy agradable y hablador. Para los aficionados a la camra, ale. . Y cualquiera que disfrute de la buena cerveza.

We stopped here for a beer, the beer quality was good with perfect clarity, however the place has no atmosphere it felt like we were being a nuisance by asking for a pint, a huge thing with pubs is the people, and when the people are not bothered if your there or not then I won't bother again. Real shame given the beer quality and decor

Stands out from the usual offering in the town. Good range of drinks available.

Nice little popup pub, selling real ale and ciders. Always a good selection, friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere

Very much a beer drinkers place with basic furnishings/décor in an old shop unit. Attracts an eclectic crowd who are friendly. Main reason to come is great choice of beers and good prices

Nice people in the bar. its a shame the beer isn't kept properly, didn't taste as it does elsewhere.

Locals place really but welcoming to everybody. Locally produced real ales and ciders. Basic inside but comfortable.

Great beers, dog friendly. Esoteric locals! Proper place for proper people.
