| Have to echo the views below - great little pub, probably unchanged for years. No real ale but decent Guinness! daveinbrum - 20 Mar 2011 18:05 |
| Excellent review below. been in here once or twice and never found it unpleasant, bit quiet, retains that Irish quarter atmosphere and maybe that specific customer base. Trouble is Digbeth has changed a lot over the last couple of years, especially with all the reevelopment and not so sure that catering for such a narrow clientele is the way forward, nice pub however -excellent Guiness of course!

| I struggle to see how the Fountain stays open in the well-pubbed but sadly de-industrialising area that is now Digbeth, particularly now that most of the Birmingham Irish have moved further out to the city's southern suburbs and venture in mainly for Sunday and St Patrick's day drinking. However, it seems to survive on this trade, and that of the nearby factories and car repair shops that do survive, despite not offering any real ale at all and I am glad that it does, as it is a fine traditional street-corner local, even if the locals who use it now do so less than before. Of note is the fact that WM Constabulary's vice division raided this pub recently looking for hardcore gay porn and looking surprised to find only a group of Irish men drinking Guinness - the other Fountain nearby was their intended target.
