First time at this pub, love it. Lovely looking pub, great range of real ales and best of all 6 real ciders available. The fastest free wi-fi ever in a pub 305Mbps ! The food menu looks amazing too
First pub visit yesterday in Birmingham 😁 Small old friendly proper pub😁 Amazing selection of beer 🍻 with Real ales, craft beers, lagers, ciders and stouts 😁👏 Black Forest bitter was really tasty and well kept 😁 Busy weekend lace with people of all ages enjoying the atmosphere 😁 No fancy food here😁 pork pies and scotch eggs, rolls, crisps and nuts. Who needs more when you’re here for the great beer. Great friendly bar staff. Place kept clean and tidy (toilet too) 😁 Easy walk from the centre and well worth it. Will definitely return when next in Birmingham 😁🏴
I'm glad I stumbled upon this gem of a pub hidden behind the Mailbox. Incredible beer selection and great service. Unfortunately I had my wife with me, so could only stay for one pint, but it was a fantastic IPA which was thoroughly enjoyed.
The landlord John and his daughter Libby couldn’t be more hospitable and knowledgeable. Every question I had was greeted with enthusiasm and passion for their work. Amazing ales on tap with a lineup that changes weekly. I Will definitely be back for more!
First visit. Came on the strength of other reviews. What a great traditional ale pub. 12 handpulls, decent punters. I've found my new base in Birmingham (I come to the city a few times a year for work)
