The No 9 Bus Crawl

The No.9 bus route between Stourbridge and Birmingham (via Halesowen) offers multiple opportunities for a pub crawl. Many of the pubs are within walking distance of each other, particularly in Lye and Short Cross. Green Duck Brewery is a 10 minute walk off the bus route but is well worth a visit, but check opening times.

An alternative would be to get the train from Birmingham or Worcester to Stourbridge Junction. From there is a rail connection to Stourbridge Town and Stourbridge Bus Station, OR call in at The Seven Stars (right outside Stourbridge Junction Station) and start the crawl from Green Duck.
