Currently being refurbished, looks as though it is going to be another one of those dreadful, all the poor quality food you can eat for a fiver, chinese banquet places.

Has gone down hill fast. Excellent prices for the beer and the staff always pleasant, but toilets a disgrace. Up for sale now and it`s hoped that someone gets hold of it and restores it to its former glory. 4/10

It's a typical "local" boozer, but based in the City Centre.

Quite a number of screens dotted around the place for watching sport, but as it's in the basement, it's so hot in there that it, at times, becomes unbearable.

My last trip here a few months ago had me on some kind of IPA, which while well-kept, wasn't that cold. Two other ales were on, but weren't sampled. The toilets were horrendous - no toilet seat, no toilet paper, puddles on the floor (probably from the blocked trough urinal), no soap, and dodgy taps.

A couple of quiz machines fittered about makes it a decent pub, but it's nothing more than average.

I like this pub, purely for the fact its one of the only basement bars that we have in Birmingham good to go in if you want to watch football or rugby plenty of screens around the bar, real ale wise doesn't seem to great but nevertheless i like to pop in this pub
