The Welder's Dog reviews
4 Star Review by Jacques Bergh
A nice place with good decor and a wonderful selection of craft beers. Their taps have a little flask with a sample of the beer which shows you the colour. Lits of wood and an ik whisky selection. The team are friendly but there lacks a little personality. Well worth the visit.
5 Star Review by Robyn Neuer
Good craft beer and relaxed atmosphere
4 Star Review by Missy The Cat
MISSY THE CAT RETURNS! Brilliant showing by The Welder's Dog (Tamworth). Passing through town one cold and rainy weekend, plenty of time in hand and nothing much to do with it, I found Tamworth ill-served by its pubs and bars except for this little gem. Great staff - so friendly, so helpful. Good beers. A fine local guitar player. Just the right vibe of cosy, comfortable and correct. Tamworth locals will surely have their secret favourite bars, but if you're just passing through then I'd stop here first and figure it out from there. ============== Missy The Cat Star Ratings: 5 - a place of rare genius that merits repeated return visits 4 - a strong effort with no major shortcomings 3 - a solid, worthy effort with perhaps one important thing to fix 2 - several important things wrong, but at least one important thing right 1 - can't be given a zero, doesn't deserve a dollar (as of review date)
