| Lovely pub with many drinking areas. Have a wander round the different rooms. Selection of real ales makes it one of the best in Birmingham. A board shows the names and price ofg the ales available. Ales are from micro breweries and have a range of light and dark beers. Enjoyed beers from Downton and Birds breweries this visit. Good value food and cobs usually available. Close to rhe new Digbeth Coach Station. A must if you are in the area. rwizzard - 2 Feb 2010 10:18 |
| What a difference a week makes. Chose 2 Scottish brewery beers today. Deeside beer was well off, pure vinegar, and when I took it back I was asked if I really didn't want it! The other Scottish beer was almost as bad but we felt unsure about returning that one. Did get the one changed for a Birds brewery beer, Waited till another enthusiast ordered the beer I had returned and asked him what he thought of it. Off!! He got his changed, but the pumpclip was left on. Gerry is brill at sourcing new breweries and beers, but when they are off, they should be taken of. gillhalfpint - 28 Jan 2010 23:48 |
| Really enjoyed the ales and company on my Saturday visit to this fine pub. No problems with the bar staff either as they were friendly while serving. Enjoyed good beers from Six Bells, East Coast, Sadlers, Lymestone, Rugby (Willeys) Beowulf and Red Squirrel. Brilliant. gillhalfpint - 18 Jan 2010 09:51 |
| Highly regarded pub which discerning drinkers often hold as a mecca for quality ales. Very convenient for the newly re-opened Digbeth coach station, this Victorian and Irish oriented pub, offers at least a dozen different ales nearly always in fine fettle. While the Anchor ticks many boxes for me it falls down considerably in quality of service. As remarked before you will seldom be greeted with a smile, and although no bar staff is actively rude, most transactions will be conducted in a manner best described as taciturn. Also I should advise that the back bar is not the best place to attract the staff's attention, even when the pub is not especially busy. For this reason I prefer the warmth and civility offered by the White Swan five minutes up the road. But based solely on the range, quantity and quality of beer on offer the Anchor stands head and shoulders over nearly all of it's competitors. ILooklikeme - 10 Jan 2010 13:23 |
| 10 minutes walk form New Street and handy for the ultra all new coach station, this is another one of those rare breed of decent old fashioned city pubs with decent beer. I tried the heart of Wales Green Dragon which was a top notch pint. There was a good mix of clientelle on this busy Saturday evening. Snarling_Mallard - 13 Dec 2009 15:00 |
