| This was my favourite of 7 new pubs in Birmingham on Saturday. It's a fairly old fashioned boozer that is much bigger than it initially seems. The front bar is reasonably impressive and at the rear are a couple more rooms and an outdoor courtyard. The tiling in the corridor is impressive. So was the ale range - 8 in all, plus 2 real ciders. The selection was Sharps Doom Bar, Holdens Bitter, Oakham Bishop's Farewell & Preacher, Purity Mad Goose, Titanic Plum Porter & Timothy Taylor Landlord & Boltmaker, along with Westons Old Rosie & Orchard Pig Explorer. blue_scrumpy - 22 Jun 2015 19:51 |
| Plenty of ales here in a busy and very traditional pub ozzing with character. The outside bit is a little rusty maybe it's meant to be. andyaston - 5 Aug 2013 21:30 |
| I am probably going to go against the grain with this report as I found the main bar drab and soul-less. It was dark and lacked atmosphere although no doubt when busier it livens up. Some nice wall tiling at the back where there are another couple of rooms. A fair range of beers but again not cheap. The two "house beers" come from Marstons but I wasn;t told which brews they actually were. They had the ubiquitous Doom Bar as well as Landlord; Tribute;Oakham and Purity and a couple of ciders. Quality was fine but I will have to go back again - perhaps in the evening- to re-assess this pub as I'm sure it must get better than it was at 2pm on a Tuesday afternoon in November!! mcroyal - 28 Nov 2012 11:03 |
| Social centre and real ale pub as well as meeting point for young and old this pub is as others have said one of the best if not the best in Moseley. rainlight - 10 Sep 2011 00:56 |
| Head and shoulders the best pub in Moseley. The management here have made sure there is something for everyone. The public bar with 10 hand pulls retains much of its Victorian charm and the celler is well kept. The selection of beer is good but lacks the stronger brews or a regular dark beer, I do love my milds, stouts and porters. However, their fine selection of Belgian bottled beers makes up for this, mmmm yummy! They have weekly folk music sessions here wich always produce a great crowd with musicians traveling from far and wide to join in. The beer garden is massive and well covered & heated (British summers). The recent introduction of the Motikki cocktail bar and extension of seating down the previously unused alley area has brought a much youger, livelier crowd in at the weekends - great fun! Moseley has always had a large student population and it appears that those with any sense are now drinking in here. Table service at weekends has done away with the queuing problem at the bar. There is now a wine cellar open at weekends with a fair selection of good quality wines and champagne. You can also have a hearty cheese plate for just �2 when you buy a bottle. When not drinking beer I am a bit of a rum lover and can assure any reader that the selection of rums here is second to none. And they have at least a dozen malts on show, so good news for the lovers of good scotch. The landlord likes a cigar and has introduced a humidor so his customers can partake in some fine tobacco as they sip their rum. Jart - 20 Aug 2011 17:13 |
