In November 2018, this premises opened as the Otter's Pocket and was a single room bar and restaurant occupying the whole ground floor of a former shop. The menu specialised in 'real pies' and had three changing cask ales mainly from microbreweries available as well as a range of craft keg.

March 2020 saw the pub closed undergoing renovation and has since reopened as the Winckley Street Ale House offering a wider menu and great range of beers with up to four regularly changing cask ales and ten keg lines with a strong focus on local/regional breweries. A football away-fan friendly venue, payment is by cash or card.
