| We called on Saturday and enjoyed well-kept Banks' Bitter and Jennings' Cocker Hoop efficiently served by professional bar staff. We left with no complaints to visit the nearby Anchor which is my preferred of the two pubs, mainly for the greater ale selection. But we would certainly call again when in the area.

| i visited the swan on wed 23rd feb. i bought a pint of banks's mild which i have been drinking for over 20 years. the beer was turning to the vinegar stage. the landlady refused to swop it for another pint(i had one sip). she also refused to try it as apparently she doesn't like mild. strange but true. when i questioned her decision she offered me a half in replacement. i turned her down. the camra rep standing next to me wouldn't comment. shame because the pub is immaculate, beautiful in fact. but if a landlady doesn't like beer and can't change a pint when its obviously off the cleaners and maintanance wages count for nothing. i had to take a pint back years ago...but that was changed so isn't worth mentioning. i've never reviewed on one of these things before and probably won't again but i was quite frankly and rightly brassed off wot! bushcradley - 16 Mar 2011 16:21 |
| 9th pub on Weekend pub crawl. Friendly landlady and good selection of local beers including Banks - Original. Very busy on Saturday night in both bars but rear lounge was more comfortable to watch the Rugby. Beer_Spotter - 22 Dec 2010 00:36 |
| I would agree with most of the recent comments below. But pubs like this are becoming so rare it is heart warming to find such survivors. A charactersome, proper ,city centre boozer. A pub as pubs were meant to be.Beer was fine and service prompt,friendly and attentive. Some features not particularly sympathetic to the architecture. Now standing isolated as all around it has been demolished, which seems to be the fate of a number of Digbeth pubs whether still trading or , sadly, closed and boarded up. Along with its neighbour, the Anchor, it must be one of Birminghams must visit pubs. tarkatherotter - 24 Oct 2010 20:01 |
| As previous reviewers have said, this pub is very similar in appearance to the Anchor, with its beautiful tiling, coloured lead windows and nice woodwork around the long bar. It may also be a quieter alternative to the Anchor. However the beer range is restricted to Marstons and as such leaves a little to be desired - Marstons Royal Ryder, Jennings Cocker Hoop and Banks's Bitter and Mild were the only choice available. A beer festival advertised for this coming weekend looked a bit more promising with none-Marstons beers. But with a selection of around a dozen beers, the choice is still limited. A nice pub to visit once. But the Anchor will always be my first port of call when in this area of Birmingham. blue_scrumpy - 6 Oct 2010 09:21 |
