Soup Dragon left this review about The Observatory

An end terraced Victorian corner pub - a very 'tight' corner pub! It is in white paineted brick mainly, with a corner entrance - the pilastered frontage may have been repainted, it was too dark to tell. The interior has a couple of rooms that are served by the same serving bar; which together form an L-shape. The room I entered (via the corner entrance) was a bar, which was in yellow with wood panel. There is a white ceiling and wood floor. It is very narrow and a few blokes were in playing dominoes. The other room seemed to be in the same decor, with a pool table and a fireplace, but i didn't see much of it. I didn't see much in the way of pictures, a few Pimms and Jamaican flags decorated. The TV wasn't on and the music was reggae based. The service was friendly enough and the clientele leaned to the more mature - and also friendly enough to pass a quick chat. Beer; no real ale, nothing really other than lager on draught, with cans/bottles and spirits. I had a shandy. It seems a hub for the black community of Lozells.
