    Called in for lunch before heading back to Bristol. Lovely, original style old pub, lovely seating area in the lounge too. Ordered the Sunday Turkey lunch and the food was delicious. Lovely and hot as you would expect. Can’t fault this little corner pub, it’s atmosphere is great and the staff are lovely too…. We will call back here when we’re in the area again. Thank you for our lovely lunch before our long journey home.

    This place is absolutely brilliant. The food is amazing, the rooms are clean and comfortable and the staff are so welcoming. They had a couple of DJs on in the evening - one in the bar playing mostly northern soul and one in the back bar playing house music. Everyone was having a great time and the atmosphere was really friendly. We will definitely stay here again the next time we’re in Birmingham.

    This place have No standards. Loud rude shouting from the staff, dirty rooms with No heating in the bathroom. If you have allergies stay away from This place. Food is not for vegans or those who dont like a fatty start of the day. Maybe the worst place I have stayed in. Switched to a hotel the day after

    Good time had by all. Good food in the evening and breakfast. Helpful staff. Great atmosphere in the bar. Next visit it'll be a room at the back. O2 institute next door where we went to a gig. Parking round the corner, booked online, 20hrs Β£3.50. What more could you want!

    Amazing food, perfect pint and fantastic staff. Great for either the big games or a couple of pints on an afternoon. Old school class πŸ‘Œ Pound for pound the best breakfast in Birmingham.

    A secret gem directly across the coach station. Food, drinks and staff are A+. We'll be staying the night upstairs next time. Such a lovely place. See you all soon

    Went here after the game. It was busy but service was good. Good selection of beers and the food looks really good. Wasn't enough room to sit and eat at the time.

    My colleagues and I visited here on a whim, as it's by the coach station. The staff were lovely, the barmaid was beyond accomodating and the chef, I shook that guys hand and gave him a hug... they cooked for 7 of us on short notice, got everything spot on. The portion sizes were huge... And the food in this pub has no business being as DELICIOUS as it was. My boss actually commented that he'd happily get the bus back to Birmingham just to eat here and then get the bus back.

    I didn’t eat here, but they allowed me to use their toilets before my coach journey and they were spotless. Much appreciated as I hate using the loo on coaches. I’ll definitely return, but for food and drinks and spend more than a penny. πŸ˜…πŸ™

    Proper old city centre boozer. Brummie Irish; you wouldn't mess with the barmaids; you certainly don't get an American-style "Hey! How are you?" but you get treated well. Great pub food menu, real food and massive portions. Good Guinness.

    Nice warm friendly pub, visited on a rainy Wednesday afternoon not expecting a great deal on a very slow day. Warm welcome and most impressed with the food, I had a homemade cheese burger and my friend the scampi. Both came with excellent handmade chips and attention to detail. Well worth a visit, good menu with specials and plenty of choice.

    Stumbled upon this pub after leaving Golf Fang and heading back to the train station. A great little pub that has been well decorated whilst keeping the old features and the old feeling of nostalgia this pub brings you. Decent priced drinks, friendly staff, and a warm atmosphere. What's not to love!

    A basic but classic Victorian public house which was conveniently located next door to a music venue I was visiting. So, a great value for money Steak and Guinness pie was sandwiched between a few pints of IPA and cider. Excellent service, a good range of drinks in a clean and convivial environment. If in the neighbourhood again I’d definitely return.

    Lovely room, very big and comfortable. Spotlessly clean. Large bathroom with great shower. Breakfast was huge and tasty. Would definitely stay again. Next door to the 02 institute. Only a 10 minute walk from New Street Station.

    Wow the fish finger sandwich was lush, reasonably priced and my cup of tea was lovely, they have a nice little nook room at the back to escape the rest of the pub. Great place.

    Rather small front bar, however DJ was superb. Great atmosphere. Friendly bar staff happy to accommodate a small group of lads.

    Birmingham city centre pubs how they used to be. Friendly, Homely, Good value, great Guiness- amazing mixture of Irish hospitality and vintage reggae and ska music. What's not to like? My only regret? Not getting in earlier in the evening!

  • 5/5 Keith D. 1 year ago on Google
    Great bar for a pre and after match drink. Hard working and friendly staff, music, food and ale choices, what could be better.

  • 5/5 Glen W. 1 year ago on Google
    What a lovely surprise. Just walking past and ...... a proper pub. Great landlady, beer, then I had some awesome lamb chops, good chat with locals, all the time some great 2 tone & reggae going off. Loved it - will be back. They don't do pubs like this anymore. Thanks G

    Great pub. In great location, right near Digbeth bus station and the O2 institute. Great selection of drinks. Great food and good prices.

  • 5/5 Martin P. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place for a drink. Friendly staff, landlady was lovely. Wide range of drinks for a good price. Stayed for a good few hours before a gig at the O2 next door. DJ playing on Friday night. 100% recommend

  • 5/5 Dave H. 1 year ago on Google
    Stayed for 2 nights and really warm welcome awaits you when you walk through the door. Rooms spacious warm and welcoming with all the facilities you need. Downstairs for dinner and a busy Saturday evening everyone was exceptionally friendly and the food very very good and amazingly good quality and excellent value. Additionally nice selection of beers and real ales, with there being looked after by someone who really knows how to look after beers. This was my first stay and moving forward this is where I will stay in the future when coming to Birmingham or the NEC.
