The problem with refurbs is however much one tries it is difficult to recreate an old fashioned kind of ambience. This place gets kind of close to it but the excellent beers on offer make up up for any slight loss of character. Add to that the fact it serves my current favourite beer on draught (Mad Goose) means it was well worth the tek out to the deserted jewellery quarter.

Went in there today, excellent beer a bit dead at 3pm on a Wednesday afternoon only 4 people in the bar but well worth a visit

Called in on a JQ crawl, found it very welcoming, good pint of Purity, nice refurb, but not sure about the tele's.

Posted on the wrong entry, so here is my review copied;

'Taken over by Urban Art Bars, but don't let the name put you off, this remains mostly a traditional boozer and is very pleasant. Two rooms served by a central bar, and dim lighting, tiled floor and mirrors to add character. Some modern additions include chandeliers (quite nice) and pop art (not so sure!) Quiet when I visited on Saturday night, most people watching football. Good choice of beers from Midlands brewers including Purity, but I couldn't keep off the Wye Valley Butty Bach, irrestistible! One of the Jewellery Quarter's best.'

The Red Lion is a top pub. The Wye Valley is kept very well. The Red Lion also had a different guest beer each tine I visit. Spoke to a couple of local residents last time I was there, who were trying to get more local residents involved in local issues, in conjunction with the pub.
Had some Tastees snacks when I was there - much tastier than the Real Crisps which were also on sale.
