Green Man, Coleshillback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Real pub, snug with three rooms & a part covered smoking area at the rear. Friendly barmaid & friendly locals. 4 ales on when we visited, I indulged in 3 of them; Mitchell & Butlers 'Brew XI Best Bitter', a decent pint, Sharp's 'Doom Bar' well kept acceptable pint, & Holden's 'Golden Glow' [4.4%] a nice smooth ale.

I started using this pub regularly about a year ago as it is by far the best pub in Coleshill with the best kept beer too.
The Landlady and all of the staff are very friendly and welcoming and most of the regulars seem friendly also.
Oh and I think I have fallen in love with the red head behind the bar!

Was passing, so called in for a pint. The same old welcome. This is a pub I miss a lot.The beer is always of a high standard.

Nice unique pub in the heart on coleshill. always a couple of real ales on along with the regular beers. nice cosy little lounges where you can relax with friends Great for smokers too, they have a nice courtyard decked out with flowers in the summer months where you can puff to your hearts content (ex smoker 3 years and still in denial) The Hopmeister

Friendly locals pub where the clientele were reveling in Birmingham City's Carling Cup victory. Many were sporting blue noses and looked vaguely ridiculous! Nevertheless, the atmosphere was good and the welcome was warm. Brakspear Oxford Gold, Hydes Splash & Dash, Brew XI & Bass were the beers. The interior is fairly traditional with a bar, a corridor with a serving hatch and a couple of other lounges. Service was efficient. Certainly a place I would return to and I noted a mix of age groups. So maybe the younger folk are also starting to appreciate this pub too.

Hi all, I miss my visits to this great little pub. I met dinigrow, who was working hard behind the bar.
I miss a great beer, staff who try hard to make you welcome and great pub.
For those who have not yet made a visit, Coleshill rail St not to far away and apart from the Green Man you will find many more pubs around that would take a full days visit.
But the Green Man I am sure is number one

I work at The Green Man and, having worked at and frequented a number of other local pubs over the last 13 years, can safely say it's my favourite place to be, even behind the bar! Helen, the landlady, the other staff and regulars are friendly and although it has the reputation of being an 'old man pub' due to the number of customers still drinking in there for the past umpteen years, everyone is made welcome (as long as they behave)! The place is well looked after, the beer is the best in town, to the point that it's now featured in the Good Beer Guide, there's Sky TV, a top notch smokers' garden and (on my shifts at least) decent music!! - Blame Helen for Abba/The Nolans, although she can sometimes be persuaded to skip it in return for half a lager!!

I would like to thank Helan her staff and regulars who were present on 25th September 2009, when we said farewell to my father.
Eric Phillips died at the age of 95 it was only seven days before that he was at the Green Man, he always felt very welcome enjoyed the fact that he would always find some one to have a chat with regardless of age.
He only became a regular some eleven years ago but when I went to vist him he was quick to say let's go and have a drink at the Green Man.
His Grand Children, Great Grand Children, were pleased to say farewell in a place that he had spoken of many times to them, they now understood why he enjoyed his night out at the Green Man.
Thanks from his Boys.

by far the best pub in coleshill, good drinks, good people and helen is a legend. and as someone under 25 i do not feel the stares, it's a proper pub. (they should urn the music off though, too much abba, but at least its not loud.)

Well, I haven't been there since 1982--but I did buy everyone a round because my grandmother, Emma West Scrivner owned it until about 1912. Would love to know if anyone has information about her or the pub at about that time in Coleshill.

Hi all, you will see that I have already said a few words regarding the "Green Man" on 26th June 08 this was in reponce to the comment of A_drinker in October 2006. I felt his comments were rather out of date.
I was at the Green man again on 29th June 08, thats twice in a week. It was a rather busy night, at the next table a young man was sat with his family in conversation with my father who's 94 he said he was 20 and he was not the youngest in the pub.
I feel you should visit and post a comment to show what a welcoming place it is and at the same time you can have a well kept beer.
So I do recomend that this is a place to visit.

The Green man is a locals pub, having drank at the pub since ths age of 18ish some forty years. I feel I can say that it is a frendly place to visit even if you are lucky enough to be under forty.
Helan present landlady done a lot to bring the pub into present high standards and I assure you a warm wecome no matter what your age.
Helan also made a graet effort for the smokers, if you are a smoker worth a visit

Has great potential really nice decor and good ale, however the punters are mostly old and skeptical of youth to say the least, if you're under 40 and enter you can feel the stares.
