Grealish, 29, wasted no time in making friends at the pub, where pints go for just £2.90.
He put enough money behind the bar for regulars to sup up to 200 PINTS.
Grealish posed for photos and chatted with locals on a visit to Richard Logan, 37, brother of fellow Three Lions star Jordan Pickford.
One local punter told The Daily Mail: “Jack was a total gentleman.
“£500 is enough to keep the whole bar in pints for a good few hours.
“What a star he was, he can come back any time.”
Word quickly spread Grealish was in the social club, with fans flocking in and the venue quickly filling up.
One laughed on Facebook: “Never seen word spread around so much.”

Another told the Mail: “He was with a couple of friends who live nearby.
“I think they just fancied a quiet pint in a place where Jack wasn’t going to get any hassle.
“Word spread very quickly though and people started to arrive from all over to see him, it’s such an unexpected place to see a big football star.
“He was a really, really nice guy.
“Nothing was too much trouble for him, he sat and chatted with the locals and was happy to pose for pictures.
“But when he paid for everyone’s drinks that was just amazing, he didn’t need to do it but he did and it showed a lot of class and generosity.
“He’ll definitely be welcome back if he ever wants to come down again.”
Grealish has endured a tough two years at City, losing his England place and lacking game time.
He has featured 25 times for Pep Guardiola’s side across all competitions, scoring just twice.
SunSport revealed last month both Inter Milan and Borussia Dortmund were tracking Grealish.
Guardiola has questioned the £100m man’s fitness and mentality this season.
The Spaniard said: “Do I want the Jack that won the Treble? Yeah, I want it, but I try to be honest with myself for that.
“They have to fight. You can say it’s unfair.
“Ok, if you think that, then it’s fine, but you have to prove [to me], ‘ok, I’m going to fight with Savinho, to deserve to play in that position.’
“Every single day, every single week and every single month.”
