The Rainbow Inn is a 17th-century village pub on Birmingham Road in Allesley, Coventry, with a garden, snug and sports TV. It keeps a community spirit with quiz nights and open-mic sessions, lists live music among its facilities, and runs an annual Allesley Live Music Festival in the summer. Drinks lean traditional — Bass and Landlord as regular ales plus a changing beer — with simple, well-made pub fare like batches, cheese boards and ploughman's. With a house PA welcoming originals and covers, it's a friendly grassroots and open-mic spot serving the Allesley side of Coventry.
