Can you have a good night out in... Coventry?

Our first venture to Coventry - that was recently voted as the worst city for a night out in the UK...
Well... we certainly wouldn't agree!
See our full tour around the city and following 12 pubs...
The Oak Inn
The Phoenix
The Earl Of Mercia
The Castle Grounds
Dhillon's Spire Bar
The Yard
Hop's D'Amour
The Town Wall Tavern
The Gatehouse Tavern
The Town Crier
The Philip Larkin
Quids Inn

Yes, not visiting The Old Windmill, The Golden Cross and The Green Dragon were serious errors. In addition, the place to pub crawl in Coventry is Earlsdon and Craven St.

[@thegreatbritishpubcrawl]

They will ALL be visited next time... trust me... 12 was enough for one night haha

[@camrondirossi3249]

And the cosy club in the city centre. You got some bars in Erlsdon

[@harri7416]

Golden Cross is a must as is the Old Windmill, both in town centre.

[@davidatcoventry]

have to agree the old windmill is a gem

[@robertwalters5654]

Do you know there are knocking down one area of town the train station side of the town to the left of the wave

[@nathanwade9894]

Thanks for sticking up for us in Cov bro! I think the only fair criticism for us which you mentioned was "it's a shame it's quiet". Even when the students are here its not as busy as other cities of the same size! Drinks on me next time! I'll show you Craven Street! (You also gotta do Old Windmill!)

[@thegreatbritishpubcrawl]

We were really impressed with it and are looking forward to coming back very soon

[@jameshollyoak8230]

You brought a lump to my throat when you said Coventry was good ; it gets knocked so many times but it’s beautiful with nice people but sadly lots of idiots spoil it’s reputation

[@thegreatbritishpubcrawl]

We are very much looking forward to returning and seeing the rest of the City

[@infiniteawaken1]

Thanks for visiting our City! 10 years ago Cov was pretty bad imo , but its better now! Dont forget to visit our famous mega chippy 😂 . And watch the mighty Sky Blues play 👍#PUSB

[@thegreatbritishpubcrawl]

Actually going back to Cov very soon to try and get the rest of the city done mate

[@XxXJanahXxX]

You need to go to the old windmill 😍

[@thegreatbritishpubcrawl]

We definitely will next visit

[@JT71087]

Crikey, didn't know the Oak Inn had got it's license back. The Hops is awesome, the Gate House is pretty awesome too! Great video!

[@dropnhitz1977]

The hope has been nocked down for student flats

[@JT71087]

@@dropnhitz1977 The Hops, the Hops D'Amour. I recall the Hope and Anchor, it was a stop off when walking back to Whitley from day time drinking in the city when we first moved to Cov.

[@martinlanigan803]

Every city is same better of village areas used be music in pubs or some type entertainment nothing now only people getting blasted out mind with drink then load arguments

[@y0Jonah]

Great video! Cov is great compared to what it was a few years ago. Craven Street and Earlsdon High Street are a must visit next time.

[@geoffveasey1016]

Missed out two of the best Craft Beer venues in the City. Both within easy walking distance of the centre. Twisted Barrel Brewery Tap and Triumph Brewhouse (Which is a five minute walk from the Earl Of Mercia/ Spire Bar). Both are a Tickers' paradise.

[@thegreatbritishpubcrawl]

They are on the list for our next visit for sure

[@Chrisbike1102]

How the hell did you not visit the Windmill

[@thegreatbritishpubcrawl]

We like to save some decent places for other visits haha... otherwise we have to go back and just do the 'dregs'

[@AaronLaw92]

Good video, nice to see something positive!

[@holydiver73]

The phoenix, is still known by many Coventrians as The Campbell and it hasn’t been a rock pub for the last 25 years. It used to be a great place, not much any more.

[@thegreatbritishpubcrawl]

Sadly we've lost a lot of rock pubs over the years

[@holydiver73]

@@thegreatbritishpubcrawl I live in hope that the glory days will return again. Happy New Year and Horns Up! 🤘🏻

[@robertwalters5654]

Great video somebody actually saying good thing about coventry

[@thegreatbritishpubcrawl]

Thanks man

[@sgtDrumriX]

I can't believe you started at The Oak... that place is where you finish the night at 6am xD

[@kerraig666]

Newcastle-under-Lyme Skidders. In particular Bridge Street Ale House, Crossways and Boat & Horses...loads of pubs

[@pusbccfc]

Legend! Still plenty of other pubs as well!

[@jakoat]

Missed the Windmill not far from Town Crier.

[@thegreatbritishpubcrawl]

It's on the list for next time

[@Nick-np9yu]

Next time visiting try the windmill on soon street

[@Thevoice4405]

You need to do the Branston, Heighington, and Washibgborough pubs you won’t find better ones in Lincoln. Nice atmospheres in each great food and good pints.

[@spongatejunction]

Try the Aardvark aka the Vark

[@scooper8197]

Next time you're in coventry... golden cross.. the old windmil spon street (oldest pub).. the artisan.. twisted barrel brewery at fargo village.. go back to the phoenix bugp t later on in evening gets busy.. boom battle bar play darts.. samoan joes tiki bar... town crier on a sat when there is a band on.. the flying standard (spoons)... broomfield tavern.. the cottage/millsys/oak in earlsdon (

[@dropnhitz1977]

You didn't go up spon street where theres 4 or 5 pubs and bars on that one street then 2 mins around the corner youv got the sky dome you didn't go to where the night clubs are . Nxt time go up there

[@valerieee1469]

the only problem with going out in cov is that its often quiet. however there are a good few places that are ALWAYS busy. specifically in the city center, quids inn and either of the wetherspoons as well as dhillons are usually pretty lively and the yard gets very fun when they have their events on

[@mattdanger75]

Shame you didn’t make it to the best pub in Cov, The Windmill! Only up the road from the Town Crier too! 🤦🏻‍♂️ You visited some good ones though… 🍻

[@thegreatbritishpubcrawl]

It's on our list as a definite for next visit very soon!

[@robertnicolae1882]

Next time you come to Coventry you’re more than welcome to pop in at Gonzo for a drink 🍻🍻 Also you can’t possibly miss Old Windmill, Golden Cross and the Hearsall Inn, probably the 3 best pubs in all of Coventry

[@harri7416]

Nice. Coventry born and bred here. Its a lovely city centre and doesnt deserve its bad reputation. Might have been a different story in the 80s mind you..

[@fookbay]

used to be places that live music most nights of the week. none left now. over the last twenty years coventry has been amended to make the council and police`s lives easier. suprised you didnt get your phone nicked in the Larkin

[@thegreatbritishpubcrawl]

😂😂 ... Cov seems to have a bad rep but we liked it. We're going back in a few weeks for some more!

[@jameshollyoak8230]

You’ve made the front page in the Coventry evening telegraph online ; you should get lots more views now ; and maybe a new statue of you both in the city centre lol

[@thegreatbritishpubcrawl]

😂😂😂

[@jamiecovfan4life909]

Next time u come go into some night clubs as they can be great to go in

[@thegreatbritishpubcrawl]

We definitely will

[@Scot_Tz]
