The Arcade

The Arcade occupies a building dating from 1880 on Mill Street in Cannock, attached to a music shop and set opposite the Morrisons car park on the edge of the town centre. Luther Mattock co-founded the pub, registered as a company in October 2018, bringing a micropub format to the building's post-industrial front bar. Up to three cask ales rotate behind the counter, drawn from breweries such as Green Duck, Hobsons and Salopian, alongside a wider selection of craft kegs. A separate lounge at the rear holds period furniture and local historic photographs, a contrast to the pop-culture references scattered through the main room. Outdoor decking adds further seating. The pub runs a quiz every Wednesday, an open mic night once a month, and street food most Fridays, and welcomes both dogs and, until early evening, children.
