| Went to Brum for Football (BCFC of course!) followed by a pub crawl in Digbeth and the City Centre. Always try to find a new pub and saw that the Lamp Tavern had good reviews on Beer in the Evening. Called there on Saturday for a 'nightcap' on way back to the hotel and ended up staying until the early hours chatting to the staff and other punters. To say that Eddie made us welcome is an understatement! They had a good selection of well-kept local ales and Eddie astounded us all by bringing out an enormous pork pie for us. Will definitely call again and tell my friends. Back in Brum with my partner in a couple of weeks but unfortunately our boys footie trip will not be for another year. davidvrussell - 22 Nov 2011 11:46 |
| A treat to visit such a good pub which has survived here despite the odds, and long may it do so. The landlord opened up for us when we arrived at 12.00, declaring that he did not expect any custom until 13.00. By the time we left an hour later, the pub was busy with a real mix of customers. 5 mainly local ales on tap, and the 2 we tried were in good condition. The landlord proved to be a mine of information regarding the history of local brewing, reeling off the ownership history of a number of breweries, many of which are now defunct. A top place to drink for those to whom good beer matters. Looking forward to another visit. Stamfordian - 21 Nov 2011 11:07 |
| Just read in the local CAMRA magazine that Eddie the landlord was attacked during the riots. Glad to see this wonderful open pub again. For those who have never been there, you are missing a treat. A great pub and a great landlord Huey - 10 Oct 2011 18:20 |
| Excellent pub in grim, post industial area. Good pint of Aston Mild, decent selection of others. MisterSifter - 20 Sep 2011 13:35 |
| Tremendous survivor in an industrial wasteland. Excellent beers and convivial landlord making for a brilliant atmosphere. Well worth finding, only a few minutes walk from the town centre. curioushistory - 17 Jun 2011 15:01 |
