The Town Crier, Birmingham

The first time I visited this "establishment" I thought that maybe I had been a little to harsh with my opinion. However, after visiting this den of iniquity again I realised my initial opinion was spot on and if anything under critical. I agreed to pop in to this place against my better judgement and knew it wasn't looking good when we walked through a wall of smoke just at the entrance which could of got even Amy Winehouse stoned. Not to mention the extras from Shameless standing in such a convenient place in front of the door. Blocking people�s access to this place should not be top of someone�s priorities. Surely throwing them in would be better!! Once you get passed this pleasantry, you are greeted by a look of distain crossed with brain cell (singular) malfunctions as the thought of someone new entering there squalor takes a hold. The expression from the Maguire�s and Gallagher�s cast offs is in itself a sight to behold. Also, It doesn't instil confidence when these "regulars" are drinking there lager from a tin. Then again by the noise this one cocky chav was making you could see why the draught option was now being avoided as long term damage was clearly in place. I wouldn�t even send the mother-in-law to this place, so avoid like the plague. Although that is also an option behind the bar.
