The Barton's Arms

[AlexAlexCropley]

It's £3 which is actually a pretty small amount when out drinking these days and it's a great set up with plenty of bars and good bar staff so even at its busiest the waits for drinks aren't bad. There's plenty of space and a great atmosphere.
I don't usually pay into pubs either but it's a great pre match pub for Villa - I did it as a one off and then just went again and again.
Not been in post match as I'm usually straight to The Barton's but I'm pretty sure it's a decent option.

Not so great if you don't ever carry cash

Never been to Sacred Heart. Where is it? Up Trinity Road somewhere?

Been 30 odd years since I first went in the Sacred Heart. Hardly anyone used it, mainly because there no were signs and it looked like you were walking into someone's house. Back then they had a snooker room before getting rid of that and the walls to create the one big room.

It's located in Witton Road (on the corner with Prestbury Road).
