    Very good beer, great pub (which hasn't succumbed to becoming a restaurant) and they retain their staff too which is a good sign. Anywhere that looks after their customers and staff gets a thumbs up from me

    Thought pubs like this had died out in the 80's, but clearly not. Although it looks quaint from the outside, quaint it aint. When I walked in it was like a snapshot from 1979 (having experienced 1979 first hand). Whilst ordering at the bar from staff that looked like they were from a dystopian version of the Matrix, I was greeted with a good ole fashioned song about pak*s and w*gs by a group of inebriated old fellas wearing outdated skinhead casuals seated opposite the bar. There are no standards at the White Horse, Harborne. This pub is only for white horses. If you are a chestnut, black, pinto or other colour horse - I would steer well clear.

    Nice traditional drinkers pub. Rather small. Doesn't do food. No fruit machines. No jukebox. Live sport on TV. A good choice of well-kept beer. Quiz evening during the week ; live music weekend.

  • 4/5 Mark S. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the last true "pubs" in Harborne and the surrounding area. A real ale fan's dream, with multiple guest ales always on offer, alongside a good selection to suit the connoisseur, like myself, of a good strong continental lager. Live sporting events are always shown and live music is also back on the Saturday night menu so dust off the dancing shoes! Service is swift and all overseen by the affable gaffer, Colin, who runs a tight ship whilst being always welcoming.

    Traditional pub... Cosy... Liked the decor.. wallpaper dark green with big leaves on it. Great line up of real beers... Friendly people, very good service. Smoking areas outside and free car park round the corner. Went on a Saturday night for a gig, danced to great 70s music played by Derek and the Checkmates.

  • 5/5 Christine B. 10 months ago on Google
    Food is not served to my knowledge, with the vast range of beers etc being the main focus. Friends (Freefall) were playing so we went to support them - great atmosphere
