Whilst not the place you'd choose for the epicentre of your crawl(there's not a whole lot actually going on inside), prob. the top place in town for a lunchtime glass 'n' grub combo, as both are of a fine fine standard

we use this place as a regular lunchtime meeting place firstly because it opens at 11am.& its convenient for the stations., its very useful.
the beers are always good & the prices great for city centre.
food is usually good quality & of course it has been a no smoking pub for years before the ban.

Not a bad place. 3 real ales on when we visited, nothing unusual though.
Not very many in on Friday night. Staff pleasant enough okay prices. Nothing to rave about but certainly no reason to avoid it.
Nice old tiling at various places around the pub.

This place is a good pub, and the no smoking factor does not make this place empty. Although all pubs will be that way soon. Nice beer at decent prices considering city centre. Its a good pub to disapear in whilst shopping and good for a drink whilst on a crawl. Not tried the food but seems good prices and usual chain offers. 7/10

Probably Birmingham's first totally non-smoking pub and all the better for it. Only ever seen two real ale's available but never had a bad pint. Staff are usually friendly too. Food is excellent value for money. Well worth a visit if you're out shopping and what to escape from the missus.

Pleasant exterior, looks the sort of place to have MILD but no chance. Three cask bitters and the usual display of chemical kegs. Quite a nice pub for the bitter drinker but not for us so carried on with our Birmingham mini MILD trail which we started at the Wellington heading through Chinatown to the Lamp Tavern and Anchor in Digbeth then back to the Old Joint Stock.

A good pub, definitly above average compared to some of the other bars in this area. Good, however small selection on real ale......I quite enjoyed a broadside. Well done for introducing a complete non smoking ban !. Its a shame that all the pubs in the area couldnt be as brave and follow the lead.

good little pub just where you need one when shopping with missus. Leave her shopping go for a pint here and snack then meet her later when shes finished. Staff friendly to so makes it worth while. Oh and forget the good chose of beers to try
|
Was pleased to find Adnams Broadside when I visited, but this is still a very average city centre sort of place. The no-smoking policy is good though.
|
Very reasonably priced, well-kept real ale. Also served a decent quality bottle of wine for less than a fiver!! All this, along with good, solid wholesome food and to top it off it's a Non-smoking pub. Was quiet when we visited over Easter, but deserves more local support for the smoking ban alone.
