Nice enough pub, have been a few times, very ideal to stop off if heading from bennetts hill to the jewellery quarter or visa versa.
Strange occurence on one visit was a chav buying a bottle of Moet to take out!!!!

Lovely Victorian corner pub. 3 ales should have been on when we arrived on Saturday lunchtime. But they weren't as the barman did not have the keys to the cellar! Similarly, no ice. This was rectified for our 2nd round and had a nice pint of a beer with "blonde" in the name served in an old-fashioned "jug" pint glass.

Not quite as good as i hoped it would be as the beer selection was not particularly good and all of them were average rather than anything better. Still worth bieng on a beer crawl of the City though which perhaps says more about the City real ale scene than anything else.

Its an interesting refurbishment, seeking to blend new and old. Nice pint of Directors. Music can be loud at times. A rare pub in the area, with choice of real ales.

Nice discreet pub which isn't aggressively pushing itself for the custom of the lofthouse and luxury flat dwellers nearby (Apres & Metchus, or whatever it's called, are there for that). Service is generally excellent and despite previous reviews I think the quality of their modest selection of real ales is extremely good. I agree that the prices are quite high, but then so is the standard of food.

Quiet, which can be quite welcome. Beers good but pricey.

Since the referb the new manager as turned this dark,smokey back st boozer into a half modern half trad pub. Which is good for the area in which it is located in brum. Although the trad ale isn`t the best food was half desent

Completely deserted on a Saturday afternoon! The bar man seemed friendly enough though.
