Definitely on map, and I know we are missing some which sound brilliant (Park Inn, Jolly Crispin, Mount Pleasant, Black Bear) but time is a factor, are:

Beacon Hotel,
Britannia,
Crooked House (for novelty),
Ma Pardoes,
Bull&Bladder.
Now, I reckon train Brum-Wolvo (Grt Western) then Wolvo-Coseley, from where most seem within 3-4 miles, except Vine (6m). I'm gonna check possible bus connections but, where a taxi is needed, can any of you local afficianados advise whether we'll find a people carrier (6 passengers) & how much it might be for, say, a 3 mile trip?
Cheers, tm.
Great choice of pubs but a bit spread out for a crawl using public transport alone. Pardoes is only on one bus route - the 243/244 from Dudley to Merry Hill.
The Bull & Bladder is relatively close to Merry Hill - about a 10 min walk and it is the start of the " Delph run"
The Crooked House is a quirky and unique pub. Well worth a visit but really out of the way.
Most of the local taxi firms round here have a couple of people carriers but make sure you specifically ask for one or they will send the usual old knacker !
Might I just add that if you are going in the Britannia it seems a shame not to visit the Jolly Crispin which is just up the road.
The Black Country has a lot of good pubs ( and loads of average ones ) spread over a large area - I suggest that you stay for a week or so to do it justice !!!
I am a salmon !!
