| Almost laughably expensive and tick box trendy, with continental lagers and organic ciders to the fore amid an admittedly respectable showing of real ales. Exotic and ethnic chic furnishings and ephemera are draped all over the shop, the atmosphere is horribly exhibitionist - the Jezs and Mirandas don't believe in quiet entrances - and the service is dispensed as cool and chilly as you'd expect from media commentators and the spiritually enlightened all biding their time. Of course there are plenty of Moseley-ites who will flock to this place for precisely the aforementioned aspects that so curdle my pint of Nu Vibe Mild, so to them I say welcome to your regulation styled eccentric chill out zone , but where's the nearest pub?

| Nice enough but crowded and it's more expensive than the Prince of Wales up the road - £3.35 for a pint of Pure Ubu vis-à-vis £3.10. It also has doormen though they hardly seem necessary as it closes every night at 11 - even the quiet Village (a traditional pub, not a bar as many are) can manage to hold its own past that hour on a Friday. rainlight - 17 Sep 2011 23:51 |
| Every 6 months or so I pop in here to see if anything has changed for the better and saddly it hasn't. While they offer a great range of continental beers the service here is appauling, no really, it's that bad. The staff are more inclined to serve their chums and check their mobiles than make eye contact and serve you a pint. I waited to be served for 15 minutes at a quiet bar before leaving, taking my money with me. The food is patchy and over priced, the piped "muzak" is awful and the decor plain weird (mid 70's jumble sale). Shame, it used to be a nice pub. Jart - 20 Aug 2011 16:35 |
| Seems to be back to being called simply 'The Fighting Cocks' - no Goose. Wonderful building, externally and internally - large clock on the corner of the bar actually shows the right time, and plaster ceiling is splendid. Something of a 'gastro-pub', with areas devoted mainly to food service, but good selection of ales, as well as some specialist continental beers. Music is unnecessarily intrusive, but volume was turned down slightly when asked. FotWBF - 24 Jul 2011 23:25 |
| Very much how I remember it a couple of years back. Not as rough as it used to be probably `cause most of the clientelle have been transplanted from Hurst Street. Guiness was OK, bit pricey bog standard bar. Blastbeat - 27 Jun 2011 16:01 |
