Witton Arms

Why is Witton Arms good for fans?

Almost on the doorstep of Villa Park (about 100m), The Witton Arms is set up for matchdays: they state they show all live sport and regularly promote Premier League/Villa fixtures on screens throughout the pub, with a huge outdoor screen and extra serving points on busy games. Their updates also advertise street-food traders with food served from mid-afternoon, making it a handy pre-match stop. Posts highlight it's a short walk from Witton station, so it's convenient for fans coming by rail. Note the venue positions itself for home fans on matchdays, creating a claret-and-blue atmosphere right by the ground.

Popped in for post drinks prior to Guns n Roses gig at Villa Park. Despite a £2 entrance fee, supposedly because of the gig and which was fair enough, we had an amazing time. Great atmosphere, great service, the bar staff were amazing despite being busy, whilst I didn't have any of the food on offer, it looked great, many people were buying it, it was obviously a special food event because of the gig, but the whole event was well worth the £2 entrance, and we were told we could return after the gig for free (got a hand stamp) however we didn't as wed arranged a pick up. I used to live near here and I must say that The Witton Arms has totally transformed itself into a lively and vibrant pub. Well worth a visit!

We really enjoyed it here before the Newcastle game...usually we use a different pre match pub but wanted to try something new. Was very busy but service was super quick. Great atmosphere, lots of singing. Strongly approved of the jugs of beer, very civilised

Went here before the England match good boozer with lots of music & food going on. Sometimes difficult getting served as the regulars that come every matchday get priority.

Charged £3 each to go in on a Monday afternoon (concert on nearby so obviously out for extra money). Waited long time to be served, then drink was warm and massively over priced. Nowhere to sit, rubbish everywhere, tables covered, BBQ smoke blinding me, couldn't wait to leave, waste of entrance fee.

The atmosphere is electric in there, and it's a great place to be before and after games, staff and security are very polite, they have food stalls in there and they have many bars throughout, Can't beat it before and after villa games

It's rammed on match days. Service isn't too bad. However the have a great outside covered area with a massive screen. Brilliant pre match atmosphere. If you're visiting Villa park as a home fan it's a great place.
