What a gem of a place, I knew it did real ales and had the pleasure of going there when they had on a Titanic Brewery takeover . Went there with friends and had a fantastic time, the place was very busy but we could still have a conversation.I will definitely recommend this venue to anyone interested in real ale.

Came here to do some work... This place is a little Gem..Pub / Live music venue with pool room upstairs... Great atmosphere coming from the regulars, stunning decor and friendly staff.The front of the building doesn't open... Access to the building is round the back through the small carpark.If you're into live music and want a great night out this would be a good choice... Check out the website for detailscafe-metro.co.ukThanks to Kate for looking after me today...👍

An absolute gem in the centre of Bilston, I ordered over lockdown for a Christmas gift and only recently have been able to visit in person. They’ve done a beautiful job of doing up the back room, the playlist is absolutely belting, a truly amazing selection of craft beer and Estelle was so super friendly and helpful. Honestly can’t rate this place enough!
