The Flapper, Birmingham

I've been in The Flapper on and off since 2008. It's run by a family that has always been friendly towards myself and others ever since I first ventured in. The drinks are cheap which in this economic climate is good news. They sell pizzas to the hungry which I've yet to try but as the staff and owners are happy to eat them then I assume they're fine. The pubs other main strengths lie in it's location by the canal, lovely in the summer, and it's music room which caters to a wide variety of musical tastes. From the posters on the walls it's obvious that a lot can happens. There are quiz nights, there used to be poker nights (they may still happen) and the venue has played host to events outside of band nights such as burlesque and stand up comedy. The only downside with the venue is the graffiti in the mens toilets, but don't let a few stupid people ruin your enjoyment of a fine pub that has so much to offer.
