The Giffard Arms is Wolverhampton's dedicated rock pub, a gothic-themed city-centre institution on Victoria Street serving up rock, metal and alternative across two floors. Its first-floor live room, the Darkroom, has a strong reputation for quality live music and eclectic entertainment, from up-and-coming local unsigned bands to national touring groups, tribute and covers acts and established signed performers. The c. 80-capacity pub pairs a solid in-house PA with coffin-shaped tables, horror-themed wall illustrations and a giant bat over the outdoor area.
