Its Changed.
Check this place out next time you are passing, and don't miss the upstairs bar and restaurant.
An excellent job has been done on the interior - no scream yellow in site.
Fantastic range of world beers plus plenty on independent Cask Ale. A brilliant job.

True - its a fantastic bar for continental beer - un-matched anywhere else in Brum. No ale though!!

I think you know exactly what I mean about choice in this country. Ale is a different matter but like many people I no longer drink it.
Not having Cask Ale does not automatically render an establishment unworthy of sensible comment and scrutiny, especially when that establishment is a continental stlye bar/brasserie, as they claim.
Birra Moretti is probably not the best example of imported speciality Pilsner, but at least it is not brewed in south wales under license. Also, I have looked into their other new listings and the following beers are highly respected in their own right; Innis & Gunn, Schneider Weiss, Edel Weiss, Paulaner Munich.
There will be no persuading the real ale lover though, even though there is a less narrow viewpoit that is worthy of having it's view heard.

New favourtite pub for a quiet drink and a game of pool. Very rough around the edges, but thats part of its charm. Amazing old building. The beer and wine, although uninspiring, is good value.
Pool should never be �1.20 a game though.

All Bar One, Bath
The only places I know of doing draught Schneider Weisse (few others dotted around London apparently).
