| I returned to The Lamp Tavern on friday after a long hiatus. In these dark days of pub closures it was good to see that The Lamp Tavern is as good as ever. We found That's What I Call Hops 2 and Sword were on tap as well as the ever reliable Stanway. If you haven't made it to the Lamp, then make the effort - it's a gem. whitmorereans - 21 Jun 2009 17:02 |
| This is a cracking little pub. I hadn’t been in for about 2 years until last week and the only thing that has changed is that there is a large roll down screen for the TV. Eddie says this is only used when it’s quiet as he likes to watch the TV but his eyes are going so he couldn’t see the small screen!! The front room has red covered seating around the wall with small tables, there are also some barstools. The alcove above the bar is full of trophies. There are 6 handpumps serving Stanway Stanney bitter and Churchend Gravediggers mild and up to 4 changing guests, these included Summer Wine brewery’s Helios when I called which was excellent. There’s a further room at the back that is used for functions, but I couldn’t have a proper look as the local Morris Men were in there practising. It’s a very good pub with a friendly landlord and locals, not to be missed whilst in Digbeth. ROBCamra - 11 Jun 2009 10:41 |
| Always worth calling in on any trip round Birmingham, not just if in Digbeth. Eddie and the locals make this place what it is, and always a suprise from the choice of guest beers. First rate quality pub. gillhalfpint - 15 Jan 2009 11:07 |
| Totally top class end to my Birmingham crawl last night! Eddy was on his best form and, I must say looking very well, too. Very friendly "Captain Pugwash" chap at the bar telling great jokes at 16 to the dozen and keeping the pub in fits of laughter. By complete chance, a Wenlock regular was in the pub as well, and great chatting with "Neill". Church End "Gravediggers" and Stanway "Stanney" their usual good form, and "Monkey Business", not dark but pale, was exquisite. Well done Eddie, keep it up! Well worthy of the top marks for simply being a superb "proper" pub. lad_newton - 30 Dec 2008 19:54 |
| What a great pub this is. It looks from the outside like it's pub from Minder but inside it's ace. It's so very small but that really helps with the appeal of the place. Five bang on ales (no Pedigree here, proper decent intresting ales) an impressive back bar selection and the best gaffer i've met in a long time. Obviously MRLONDON hasn't been here or he would know that it is something special to go to Birmingham for, just to have a chat with Eddie would be worth the trip, how many pubs in lo*ndon is it worth going to that hole for. This pub ticks all the boxes, good beer, friendly gaffer, friendly locals... and the other boxes, whatever they are. This is my new favourite pub. I thought I'd been to the best pub in Digbeth with the Anchor, but next time i'm in Digbeth i'm heading for the Lamp. I know for sure i'll be in Digbeth a lot more in the future than i have in the past. mattyboy - 3 Dec 2008 11:01 |
