Located at the centre of the village, the Crown is the oldest pub in Codsall and has been licensed for over 180 years, From 1967 until the early 80’s the pub hosted one of the leading jazz clubs in the West Midlands with an international guest list. All of the British major jazz bands and performers of the day played the club as well as American and European artists. Following its demise, the pub went through a number of operators and guises before being bought by Joule’s Brewery in 2015 Re-opened in March 2016, a major refurbishment has transformed it into a slightly grand Edwardian-style with a modern twist and features open fires, stained-glass windows, old beams and reclaimed furniture. The island bar is at the centre of the large lounge which has been divided into separate, distinct areas. The former function room at the rear has been fitted out in the style of a library. A further refurbishment in Spring 2023 saw a bar added to "The Library" function room and the outside rear of the pub expanded into an improved, expanded courtyard with Olive trees and an area of covered seating. It also saw the pub run by Medicine Bakery. Five hand pulls offer four Jouule's beers (three permanent, one seasonal) and a changing guest. Also available on keg dispense is Joule’s Green Monkey lager, other seasonal Joule's beers, a number of continental beers and English ciders. The new bar in the "The Library" has a hand pull usually with Joule's Pale.

The main bar has live music every Friday, with the "The Library" hosting regular DJ sessions. Live music and other events (e.g. Digbeth Dining Club street-food) occasionally in the courtyard.
