| Must say I was underwhelmed on my visit, for a pub that is on CAMRAs National Inventory and a constant in Beer Guides it fell a little flat. Beer was OK but it was a bit empty and rather Royston-Vasey like for a Birmingham pub. Think a few aborted attempts to modernise have been made where they shouldn't, i.e. wine-bar style couches in back room. Not terrible, but nothing out of the ordinary.

| Still open but not very busy on a recent Sunday evening. Very good Everard's beers on and a fairly striking pub. pablos13 - 14 Jul 2008 16:39 |
| Disappointing to say the least, for traditional substitute tip, yeah some very nice tiling etc but really a sh** ho** is what it is so don't bother as the beer was not very good either. brianthelion - 25 Feb 2008 08:47 |
| It has some great interior tiling and a traditional ambience. Yay! But when it's packed it's hard to navigate your way to the loo's Doh! The bar service by the young barmaids was prompt and attentive. Yay! But I had to send both my pints of real ale back. Doh! However I had a great pint of Amstells. Yay! But the shaven headed, burly tattooed raucus, 95% male clientele and a magazine on the bar with a double paged spread devoted to skinhead culture unnerved me. Doh! Then again they were, apparently, all Bluenoses and the black faces that entered were greeted warmly. Yay! But someone announced over the sound system that there was to be a collection in aid of someone I didn't know who had got wrongly sent down (actually I seem to remember a rattling tin present for his kiddie's birthday). Doh! But then everyone was genuinely courteous and friendly towards me, and considering the length of my hair I felt quite as though I belonged - yay! - 'cos on Saturday night they blast out some utterly brilliant northern soul, 60s r&b, ska and Two-Tone. YAY! I hope this helps in your decision of whether to tarry a while here or not. ILooklikeme - 22 Jun 2007 21:12 |
| Top pub, had so many good nights and always look forward to the guest ales and finishing the crossword for Stuart and Audrey. A real pub and to few remain in the city. gramps - 17 Apr 2007 12:04 |
