| In here last Saturday lunch time and about a dozen others present. I got here by the number 7 bus (took 10 mins) from Colmore Row and getting off at Newtown Swimming Pool. The pub is just behind it in front of you as you get off the bus to the right. 9 hand pulls split 3/3/3 around the bar serving 6 different Oakhams Ales which are listed by price/strenth on a large chalk board. Prices are from £2.60-£3.20 a pint. I tried a pint of JHB for £2.80 and a pint of Bishops Farewell for £3.00 both were excellent. bjbrummiejohn - 5 Jun 2013 08:45 |
| Excellent pub with well kept ales: I second most of the positive comments here. Often surprisingly quiet though, so a great place to go in a group and take over a corner. The Thai food is typical of the UK genre, and perfectly good after your sharpeners. eddybeer - 3 Feb 2013 21:14 |
| Wow, what a building. There's not much that keeps me from supping my beer but I had to go for a walkabout inside. Go see for yourself. Oakham, one of the best breweries in the country, had an amazing selection for us including a first, their porter. Steamer1 - 10 Jan 2013 16:14 |
| Another visit to this wonderful boozer (via the 51 bus) which still rates as one of the best in the country. Superbly immpressive exterior and interior with the "snob-screens" above the bar and the terrific fixtures and fittings. There is a strong emphasis on the dining in the rear room where most of the customers go for the excellent Thai meals although you can eat anywhere in the bar. Very well kept Oakham ales at reasonable prices and we enjoyed at least three of the range with Inferno and Bishops Farewell being particularly excellent. We got chatting to some local Villa fans who guided us to the ground from the pub ( a good 20/25 minute walk) and all in all it was a very pleasant visit - apart from the football score that is - we lost). You cannot go to Birmingham without having a couple of beers in the Bartons - it just has to be seen and enjoyed. mcroyal - 28 Nov 2012 11:23 |
| I don't often rate 10 out of 10 for a pub but the Bartons deserves it. It's a fantastic Edwardian building replete with terracotta, ceramic tiles and those little windows above the bar (does anyone know what they are called?) Several good Oakham beers available, all in good condition, leaving Bishops Farewell to the last! The Thai lunch is very good value at around £5.50 and the service is nice too. I think the pub could do with some more lunchtime customers, so don't hesitate to take the number 7 bus from the city centre and prepare for a long session! 16jamesdoc - 22 Apr 2012 18:03 |
