Great little micropub with a good rotating selection of ales. Dog friendly and pleasant atmosphere.

Very reasonable prices. Dog friendly.

A brilliant micro, with great prices and friendly service. The best place for a drink in Rugeley.

Well worth the trek from town. Taxi though back to canal

Nice pub full of friendly local with an ever changing selection of drinks

Didn't eat here but there were 4 takeaways next door. The selection if beers is impressive. We had the dark stouts and they were delicious. They have a list on the wall of a good selection of rums, gins and whiskeys. Great little micro pub.

Top pub with great drinks selection.Owner is very friendly and knowledgeable.

Great craft beer. A must if you live with in 10 miles at least. You will not be disappointed. Plus, it's super value for money. The continually changing beers are super impressive. It's a has a very chilled atmosphere.

Great friendly place ,and a decent pint 👍

Great ale house with a good and always changing selection of craft ales and ciders. With it friendly and warm atmosphere it's a great place to pop in for a quick pint when going to the local shops, or for meeting up with a couple of friends for a catch up. Hell! It make for a great regular local as well.

Only get the chance to drop in when visiting family in the area, but always a very warm welcome and excellent beers. Highly recommended.

Terrific real and craft ales constantly changing and always well kept great range of spirits and still cider great atmosphere friendly pub

Great drinks pub lot of chat with everyone in their great atmosphere. No food

Nice friendly atmosphere and staff, they've got some great beers and ciders 👌

Only call in occasionally but it really is a Rugeley "Cheers" pub for those who remember the TV series. Super real ale at affordable prices, if you're at all close, give it a visit you won't be disappointed.

Love the Rusty for its great and constant variations of drinks choice. Great staff and local atmosphere.

Great real ale bar, the customers are all friendly and welcoming. There is a good choice of beers and cider, no Carling of course!

Only get here occasionally when visiting the in-laws, but it's a great liitle pub. Fantastic beer, friendly atmosphere.

Great micro pub good selection of drinks.

It does do take out alcohol, doesn't do food

Daz is extremely brilliant, as I'm a none drinker I asked for if he could get certain soft drinks in stock, and as promised he did. Really good customer service

Weirdest place for it on bishops but it works. Friendly staff, the place just felt welcoming and they allow dogs in. That made it 5 stars. My pint was good can't remember what it was sorry. Worth a trip out of town

Excellent beer, friendly atmosphere

Great for cask ales, shame about the location

An absolute gem of a place tucked away up the shops!

Great beer, friendly atmosphere and staff will visit again!

Nice and relaxing. But limited beer choice.

Excellent selection of rotating ales or ciders on tap. Healthy selection of spirits as well.

Rugeley's only Microbrewery at the time of writing, serving four changing and well kept beers at very reasonable prices. Gin menu is good, real cider and bar snacks available. This gem's roomy interior has a clean and well presented themed design that includes beer barrel tables. Owners have worked hard to make it what it is and the genuinely welcoming atmosphere is to be soaked up. A variety of takeaways and shops are lined next door. Be advised that access is to the rear of the Spar on Green Lane, not what the sat navy says.

Querky local micro pub in row of shops, good value and friendly.

Great micro pub. Always a fantastic selection of beers which change weekly. Awesome selection of gins. Daz and his wife are great landlords too and always welcoming. Numerous takeaways adjacent that you can order your food at and will bring into the pub to you once completed!! What more could you ask for!!

Great little place and very friendly staff and customers

Very friendly and great variety of real ales and gins.

Really nice micro pub. Good beer & friendly atmosphere. Just in a housing estate so don't expect views. Would recommend if you like your beers and gins.

Lovely gem of a place, dog friendly, warm and welcoming

Great place to be. Fantastic selection of ales and ciders. Plus a gin menu as long as your arm.

Good place depending on the clientele!

Cool little place. Upcoming. Quirky modern decor. Friendly staff. No lager though. If you're local and like ales/ciders, give it a shot.

Great little pub with a happy and welcoming feel.

I loved it. Good beer, a friendly welcome and ( in my experience) a unique little pub.
