Miller & Carter Mailbox, Birmingham

As expensive a steakhouse restaurant that you would expect from this chain, but it does have a general bar area open to all. However, it also benefits from being on the uppermost of the three levels overlooking the canal basin, and there are worse places to be on a sunny evening than sat out on the terrace taking in the view. Usual limited selection of draught beers, with Chieftain from Franciscan Well (£5.80) being the pick.
