| I just had a few beers in there last night, the first time in about 40 years (I moved out of Brum in the mid 70's) and I'm glad to say I felt right at home. Very little had changed, the gents was smelly and the bar staff friendly, if a little nervous. There was a minor fight which was quickly dealt with, and there was one of the few differences I found; not that there was a fight, those happened regularly, it just happened to be between two lesbians over karaoke rights. What a great old pub. There was even a little old lady sat in the corner with her pint of stout. I'm sure she used to be there in the 60's. The Crown at the back of New Street station is a real part of the old Brummigem I knew as a teenager. Long may it remain so. AstonKid - 18 Dec 2011 23:43 |
| Someone wants to upgrade about this public house, and actually put down where it is as its no where near the courts. This place is in station street and hill street, and please visit the place before making comments, about another public house birminghammale09 - 20 Mar 2011 22:20 |
| berkfromtrapdoor I think you have the wrong pub, this is The Crown on Station Street at the back of New Street Station, The Crown by the Courts is up on Corporation Street opposite where Yates used to be. Bitterville - 15 Sep 2010 01:26 |
| This pub has recently had a new gaffer take over, and she's made improvements. Ignore the "no baseball caps, no football tops" sign that welcomes you at the front door, and take a moment to study the large grand interior of this pub. Now bring yourself back to reality, and realise that awful stench is the men's toilets that is situated right by the front door. Not the best first impression, but we'll carry on. It's a standard M&B pub serving cheap food (not sampled), and a nothing-special range of drinks. Two real ales were on in my visit - an average Pedigree, and a very nice well-kept cold EPA. The trouble with this pub is that's it's situated right by the courts, so the clientele is often somewhat off-putting and vagabondish to say the least. I've seen the new gaffer throw a few people out in my trips here (since I started working down the road from it a few months ago), which is more than I ever saw beforehand. The pub itself is inoffensively decorated, but is dirty and riffy through years of neglect, and I was itching and scratching due to the plethora of flies buzzing around. Okay, it was a hot summer's afternoon, but nevertheless, it was somewhat of a dampener. Overall though, not bad, but not good. berkfromtrapdoor - 24 Aug 2010 16:36 |
| Visited this pub for a bet on Saturday Night and had the best night out I have had for ages.. This is a cracking back street boozer in the best tradition of Birmingham pubs of a few years back - before they invented Broad Street. Only one Ale , but good prices and friendly welcoming staff plus a real cross section of society in the customers - make for an entertaining evening. The Dj played everything from 80s , Rock , reggae , dance , cheese and everything we asked for - definately will be going again - very soon. 8 out of 10 (only deduction being for the ales not being on) DiscoJoe - 9 Dec 2009 20:49 |
