The Gun Barrels, Selly Oak

A Replica of the bristol pear but on a larger scale. I prefer this pub to the pear as it has a beer garden, more room inside, and more staff. I feel that the prices are relatively high and i would not bother with the food as it would probably be the same as rubbish served at the pear but this pub is ok to spend a evening in now and again.

The S'oak, Selly Oak

A pub which in its heyday offered some great offers on drinks which made this a great place to spend an evening in. Unfortunately these offers have all been stopped now and high prices have been introduced so you will need to bring your credit card with you to have a good time here now. Still offers the same trendy, funky atmosphere as always but i dont like the new orange colour scheme on the outside. This pub is now more suitable for having a drink or two in before going to a club.

Bristol Pear, Selly Oak

Very poor customer service, Extremely poor standard of food, and prices which have risen considerably over the last year. Would not reccomend unless you are a student willing to put up with the crap service and poor food that the bristol pear offers. I would suggest walking down the other end of selly oak and going into the identical but slightly more superior gun barrells which seems to be managed better and has more staff at the bar.

The Bear and Staff, Selly Oak

The Bear and Staff is a dive inside but it is nice to sit in the beer garden on summer days. The prices are suprisingly high compared to other pubs in selly oak so id sugest this is a good pub to have a pint or two in but not a place to spend a whole evening.
