I did a small pub crawl from the station in 2008 in Shrewsbury and found 2 totally contrasting experiences - went to the Woodman which had superb beer and the guy there was really welcoming, whilst also went to Three Fishes which was a total disappointment in the hospitality stakes and got the impression that if you're not known you're not welcome!

I have allways found the Three Fishes great for beer but it can be very clique and cold , after 5 minutes in the Woodman i felt like a local its fantastic
