The Royal Oak is a community sports pub in Tettenhall Wood, Wolverhampton (WV6), dating back to around 1888 when it was first called the Spotted Cow. It has a bar and lounge, a restaurant area added in 2007, an old stables to the rear used as a concert/function room, and a large enclosed garden. Run under the Phoenix Pub Company, it stages live music and weekly quiz nights alongside live sport. A friendly local rather than a dedicated music room — best for covers acts, solo performers and function bookings in the stables concert room.
