The Roscoe Head, Liverpool

Haven't posted on here for a couple of years, but have to put in a word from down under about this pub. Liverpool is blessed with this old charmer, a pub of the sort rapidly disappearing in Australia & also in your country.
My last visit was August 2018 and I experienced the customary friendly service, a satisfying pint of Tetley's cask & a great chat with random folk. Fingers crossed it will still be there in August 2019.

Edmunds Bar, Birmingham

My notes call this pub "Edmunds Brewhouse", on Edmund Street. An over the top hipster place, with cooler than cool staff & customers. The staff were attentive & efficient though & the beer choice was wide & varied. My pint of Wye Valley Butty Bach (3.95) was excellent, but I didn''t feel an urge to linger.

The Old Contemptibles, Birmingham

Revisiting this pub after a two year gap, and in the middle of a Monday afternoon rather than a Saturday. So much quieter then, and I was able to admire the fantastic interior. I had lots of time to admire as it was so quiet the bar staff had nipped off for a smoke. Finally served with a pint of the ubiquitous but adequate Doom Bar (3.75). Points for décor, service let it down a tad.
