| Great place to finish the night off - just don't touch anything on cask or draught!! I know many people who have been ill from the pints here - stories of "yellow-headed guinness" Stick to bottled beer though or spirits and its fine, good atmosphere and great staff.

| Popped into this pub/concert venue on a lively friday evening last Nov, Was impressed to find 3 handpumps on including Wentworth "WPA" that was very good, 7/10 fat_beer_badger - 2 Jan 2010 21:30 |
| I've only visited on a lunchtime, but the beer was OK, the curry not bad, and while it's a bit grubby, it's not awful. stymaster - 5 Jul 2009 19:42 |
| Large music driven pub with wooden floors and a number of alcoves to the right of the door as you enter. It’s getting a bit scruffy and could do with a spruce up. There are four handpumps on the bar but only three were on. Springhead Roaring Meg and Puritan Porter along with Everards Sunchaser. Tried a pint of the Sunchaser, it was vinegar. Took it back and it was changed with no problem once the manager had been called. The young lad behind the bar had no idea whether it was off or not. Tried the Roaring Meg instead which was fine. The staff were all very friendly and were having a laugh and joke even though I was effectively complaining. Good background music when I was in but there was obviously going to be live music on later. It’s OK, not one to go out of your way for but I didn’t think it was as bad as some of the previous reviewers. ROBCamra - 12 Jun 2009 12:34 |
| Really shocked at the bad comments - this pub's ace, the most friendly and lovely bar staff I've ever met, I went in for a quick afternoon pint and was there all night. You won't find a better atmosphere in any Brum pub, Friday & Saturdays are epically busy at the bar & the toilets aren't the best but who cares? Great venue upstairs, good choice of beer, everyone is super-friendly and you'll always hear good music downstairs or upstairs. bergi - 26 May 2009 16:44 |
