please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
| Reasonable choice of ales, not expansive, but occasionally have interesting guests. The first impression may be that there is something of an intimidating, and possibly inebriated vibe, but once a little time is spent over the first drink it is evident this is a sociable, live and let live crowd. Though I wouldn't recommend displaying any sort of attitude in here unless you're 100% confident in your street combat skills. Best to visit with modest expectations, and also beware of the sound system which suddenly wracks up the clubbing music to an alarming decibel level. ILooklikeme - 8 Aug 2011 19:53 |
| Lived in Acocks Green for 23 years nd never been into this pub before, due to the previous reputation. But WOW what a transformation, it has got to be one of the cleanest pubs that I have ever been to. The barstaff are really friendly and can pour a proper pint of Guiness. They have a 2 courses for a £5 menu which is excellent value. Hats off to the management thay have obviously worked very hard to get this pub here it is now. I will be back with friends. Good Luck.

| Ordered a pint of Wye Valley but it sadly turned out like vinegar. Bar girl was very good bout it and offered me a "teabag" instead, which im not sure is a brummie phrase 4 tetley but i declined and had a carling instead. Quite locally but friendly enuff 4 a visitor like me, 7/10 fat_beer_badger - 21 Jun 2008 15:03 |
| A very locals oriented bar. Though people are friendly enough, if you're a rare visitor you'll do better if you go in with a group of friends. Once people begin to recognise you though, the place becomes more inviting. I suppose that's true for a lot of places anyway. Historically this pub has been the home of regulars, those that are used to frequenting the place at least 2-3 nights a week. This pub has changed hands a few times over the past couple of decades. Though some people come and go, the locals have essentially remained the same even though the name and theme of the pub has periodically changed. The dress code and age restriction are more recent developments and obviously for a reason. I wish the 'Inn on the Green' all the very best. I prefer the name to previous titles as it appears to be more reflective of the first original establishment. The idea of 'real ale' is also in keeping with it's more traditional roots. I hope that it makes a success this time. I guess there'll be another name over it sometime in the future if it doesn't. Good luck! colinm - 9 Aug 2005 19:01 |
| traditional bar, sells real ale, background music, plenty of character. Also has a big lounge/function room where they have live bands, karaoke, disco's and salsa classes aimed at the 25+ market. Oh there are drees restrictions and you have to be over 21 to get in. Kevin Dean - 8 Jan 2005 09:55 |
