| Dingy, underground pub. Very rude staff who tried to tell me it was 'against the law' to wear a baseball cap in Birmingham pubs. helpinuglypeoplehavesex - 26 Sep 2008 14:47 |
| Suitable for a quick gassy Marstons (if my memory serves me?) with a sticky table and Sky Sports News. There's plenty of better places in the city to go. pendragon - 25 Mar 2008 21:17 |
| As other posters state, you won't even find a millilitre of ale here. Other than that, actually not bad despite its general pokiness. The friendliness of the locals (rare in a city centre pub) helps here. Don't expect miracles, but for a quick swig in between visits to the two Waterstones' to check out the live Saturday afternoon game, absolutely fine getsit - 1 Mar 2008 20:35 |
| An underground pub in the bustle of New Street near the train station. Don’t be fooled by the name, they don’t serve any ale never mind yards of it, it’s all keg. Nice looking bar though that concentrates quite heavily on food. They advertise live sports on Sky and there are about 6-8 TV screens dotted around so you should always be able to see one. They could probably do with having the ability to split coverage between two channels though, we went in to watch the Eng v West Indies cricket and every screen was showing Aus v SA tri-nations rugby. Not one to make a special visit for but handy for the train station. Millay - 8 Dec 2007 20:08 |
| Situated in the basement of a rather dull modern shop and office block, it is easy to walk past. The interior is a decent enough attempt to recreate a Ye Olde Worlde pub using black gnarled beams and pillars that are either very good reproductions or salvaged from some other now demolished building of considerable age. They work well against the white walls and the modern brickwork also blends in to good effect. Despite the attempts at tradition, they fall a bit short of the mark when it comes to actual delivery. No Real Ales on offer and not even a token Yard of Ale glass on display. There are multiple screens for footie watching and various fruit / quiz machines are dotted about. I have certainly experienced far worse places and with its snuga and well planned layout, it is actually quite cosy. With a few proper beers this could be a fairly decent pub and given the apparent lack of competition in the immediate area, the place is certainly worth knowing about. RogerB - 12 Dec 2006 13:13 |
