Coventry’s nightlife is as vibrant as our
city’s history and culture. In the same
way that Coventry is full of both the old
and the new, so too is our night-time
scene. Traditional pubs sit alongside
modern cocktail bars and clubs, offering
something for everyone no matter what
the occasion. Whether it’s a quiet drink

night, we’ve got it all.

A pub on every corner
Okay, maybe not every corner, but walk anywhere in the city and you’ll come across one of our
great pubs serving up craft ales and guest beers to rival anywhere else in the country. Home
to an array of our own microbreweries including Dhillon’s, Twisted Barrel and Byatts, Coventry
has a keen beer brewing scene serving up only the best for our locals and visitors. If you’re
after our oldest pub, head to Medieval Spon Street and visit The Old Windmill. Dating back to
1451, the pub has been recognised by Coventry’s CAMRA branch and is much-loved for its good
service and great ale.
That’s just one in a broad range of pubs across the city, from historic buildings complete with
Tudor features, to dog-friendly establishments, beer gardens for those summer afternoons and
evenings and an array of pub grub to suit every taste. If it’s a good pint you want in a great pub,
we can help.
