Crafty PintH'ales'owen

The Crafty Pint occupies a former shop on Wassell Road in Halesowen, converted into a micropub by local resident Andy Davies, who expanded into the building next door in 2022 to create two connected drinking rooms. The bar keeps five changing cask beers, often from Salopian and Oakham, alongside Wye Valley regulars Butty Bach and HPA, plus two rotating guest ciders, wines and a changing range of gins. Crusty cobs are the only food on offer, in keeping with the micropub format of drink over dining. The pub sits well outside Halesowen town centre in a residential street, drawing a local crowd rather than passing trade, and allows children in from 7pm at staff discretion. Dogs and cyclists are welcome, and a small parking area sits at the front of the building.
