Ever changing face of Wolves

Interesting article on the tavern in the town. Got to admit I knew nothing about this place & want to find out a bit more;

Used to go there a lot in my 6th form years. Used to be able to get served with minimum fuss.

Used to go in there 1988-91ish, until it closed down (when new town hall tavern opened up on North Street) . Wasn't rockers place much then although a few in, more for young uns, was very few pubs in town for 18-25 in them days.

Just found this. I used to go to the Tav regularly on Friday evenings, some Saturday lunchtimes and Saturday nights in the mid to late 70s when I was 16-19. Great atmosphere complemented by two? pin ball machines to the right by the main entrance. I vaguely remember a bar billiards table? - is that true? There was a pool table further down at the back but the two pieces de resistance were no windows and the best selection of heavy rock music you can imagine on the juke box just inside the main entrance to the left. The Hells Angels were VIPs including Big John and they knew it was their place. One Saturday afternoon some misguided Leeds - or was it Chelsea? - fans kicked over a HA bike or two before the Saturday afternoon match. Let's say they regretted it immediately. I moved away from Wolves and sadly it became just a memory. An iconic bar at the time even though it was an M&B pub!

Simply great work. I am also proud of my roots in Wolverhampton, well actually, I was taught that I was from a separate place called Wednesfield. It would be brilliant if someone in Wednesfield stepped up the way this guy did. Unfortunately, I cannot as I am only back in town a few days/weeks a year.

Me and my mate worked behind the bar at the Tavern. We were both 15.
We just served our mates free drinks all night and put annoying records on the jukebox to wind up the Hells Angels. Beautiful Dream - A 'B' side by Cockney Rebel used to send them into a fighting rage! Good times.
