Coventry has many traditional breweries and is home to some great traditional old pubs, although the decline in numbers over the years does mean Coventry has its fair share of casualties. For the pubs that are still open you'll find very friendly characters in this part of the Midlands. Most Midlands pubs take a laid back approach to life and offer welcoming smiles to strangers like you are one of the locals. The Old Queens Head is a great pub for lunches and the recommended pub to stay is the Red Lion in the old market town.
