The Clifton (JD Wetherspoon), Sedgley, Dudley

Thornbridge Jaipur at £2.17 a pint. No wonder it was packed. Nice cinema conversation with outdoor seating to the side. Want more? Downstairs gents always a boon.

Large cinema conversion which was pretty packed when I called in. Couldn't see all the beers but there were 2 from Oakham and 2 from Titanic alongside the usual's. I went for Titanic Steerage which was fine. Happy to call in when I am in the area.

Handsome building (Art Deco cinema) and surprisingly small inside with not a huge amount of note, a disappointing conversion compared to other similar outlets in Mullet’s chain. My pint of Theako OP was tasty (NBSS 3.5) and the locals were out in force mid Saturday afternoon. 6.5

Visited around 3pm , pub still busy with mostly diners. Standard regular beers apart , I was tempted by the Jaipur but saw that Sovereign Gold from Burton Bridge was selling at 99p a pint . . . . . How do they do it ? The pub itself was tidy , the staff were able to have a chat whilst I was being served, would I visit again ? Maybe.

Not the most impressive cinema conversion, perhaps, but I found this a reasonable-enough 'spoons. The seating areas have a split-level arrangement, with the bar in the lower section at the back, and all fairly standard in terms of furniture and decor. Beer-wise, there were a total of ten real ales available from the two banks of six handpumps. In addition to the usual suspects, there were three from Backyard Brewhouse, including the stout (£1.99), one each from Springhead and Enville, and the Nausta Finnish international brew.

Rather average cinema conversion (as it happens I used to attend the cinema), I don't personally like this type of conversion, all too open & high ceilings. Not as big as you might imagine the serve seemed good (despite the best effort of the locals) and the beer quality very good.
