Average Rating: 
This is a gem of a building, a wonderful example of Victorian architecture and the art of ceramics. Unfortunately for this place a good pub is much more than just a building. Except for the bottled Belgian beers on offer and the surroundings it has nothing, including atmosphere, to offer the serious drinker. The Oakham beers are grossly overrated. It also suffers from being in one of, if not the, most violent parts of Brum (which in general is a relatively peaceful city). Located near Lozells on the Walsall road north of the city centre it is best visited (if at all) by either bus or taxi. Other than the architecture the place is sterile.

A grand ornate multi roomed Victorian pub selling Oakhams excellent beers.The Thai food is first class.Watch out for the sloping floor in the main bar.Well worth the 10 min bus ride from the city centre.You will not be disappointed.

Probably Birminghams best pub, just a real shame of its location. Having said that if it was in the city centre you wouldn't be able tio move in it! An Oakham pub serving a good range with guest beers and an extensive foreign bottled range. Housed in a very impressive listed building, the food available is Thai. Can be found on the Nos 33, 34, 51, 52, 107 buses from the city centre
