The Queens Head, Birmingham

I agree with vamoosh entirely, i couldnt believe my eyes when i popped in after finding out it was open again, utterly awful, and more expensive than most of the town centre!

Chain student pub, need i say more?

If you are are looking for a reasonably decorated pub, with ok bar staff, but dont mind awful, awful draft beer, and want to be surrounded by drunk 18 year olds then this place is for you. If however you want a decent pint and a traditional pub (which this place used to be when it was the pot or the firkin) then you will be disappointed.

try over the road at the sacks of potatoes if you are over 20 and/or want a real ale.

IMO the chain has ruined what used to be a decent real ale pub with a mico-brewery out the back. Also watch out for the constant piles of broken glass outside

Black Horse, Birmingham

Used to be a locals pub as ILooklikeme says, has been through many changes over the last few years.

This pub is now a rock bar. Customers are friendly, as are the staff however i have to say the draft beer is awful. Stick to bottles or shorts if you want a drink here, otherwise friendly and pleasant if you are looking for a rock bar.
