PUBS FOR AWAY FANS

The main pub traditionally used by away fans at West Bromwich Albion is The Vine (152 Roebuck Street, B70 6RD) and is around a 15–20 minute walk from The Hawthorns, or only a few minutes from Kenrick Park Metro stop. The pub is well-known for its Indian food, including tandoori dishes, and is family-friendly with a relaxed atmosphere. On busy match days it can fill up quickly, so arriving early is recommended if you want food before kick-off.

If you're travelling via Birmingham Snow Hill or Jewellery Quarter, you’ll find several pubs within a short walk of Jewellery Quarter station. The Rose Villa Tavern is roughly a 10-minute walk from the station and convenient for those continuing to The Hawthorns by Metro.
