The William Tyler

Many were sceptical of the new establishment being made at the Yew Tree. The Yew Tree pub has a lot of regulars but struggles to attract many new customers. So Wetherspoons took full advantage of the closure of trusty Woolworths and began to evoke trust from the locals of Yardley. I don’t know why I initially felt so reluctant to use this new bar, maybe because it’s part of The Wetherspoons that had replaced the Woolworths building we was all so fond of or maybe I was just being the usual pessimistic local. The William Tyler looks nice from the outside, very inviting, slightly quirky and not in your face as you pass. I entered inside trying to retract my negative attitude towards the pub and it wasn’t hard. A very smart layout, spacious and even a local taste with a map of the 1600’s of the area. This old fashioned looking pub merged the past with the modern as it is hard to explain in words the theme created. The chandeliers are made of wine and beer bottles, that in itself made me stay and the fact Wetherspoons are always reliable for a cheap nicely poured drink did a lot too.
