1 North Street, Rugby, CV21 2AB (View on Google Map)

The Windmill is a 18th-century coaching inn that Black Country Ales have re-opened after being closed for a decade. It had previously been re-named the Rugby Tavern for a few years. The interior has been completely re-furbished but appears to be a long established traditional pub. There is a small courtyard at the rear. Bar snacks consisting of fresh cobs, pork pie and sausage rolls are available. Three beers from Black Country Ales, six guest ales, and five changing ciders or perries are available on handpump. Rugby CAMRA Pub of the Year 2024 runner up.
