Big Bulls Head, Birmingham

The exterior was covered in scaffolding on my visit which made it looked closed. However it wasn't and inside I saw at least 2 rooms. I only went in the small bar so don't know what the other looked like. In the bar was a pool table to the left of the bar and next to that was a narky bloke. The bar had one handpump on that was reversed. It wasn't too bad a pub but it wasn't great. As long as the scraggy haired tit isn't in then the pub is just about acceptable.

Doesn't look much from the outside but this is a fine traditional decorative Brummie local , next to the Institute music venue. Two high ceilinged rooms, lovely bar with mock leather benches, chandeliers and two fine fireplaces (one filled in). Huge traditional mirrors and wood pannelling printed red and cream. Also a decorative lounge bar. Good priced comfort food (faggots, beef stew etc). Very traditional local, and all the better for it. One real ale - Wye Valley HPA of average quality.

A Victorian corner pub and B&B, in undressed brick and dark red. The interior has two rooms, a large bar in red, cream and wood panel, which has a large screen TV with the sport on and a pool table. The small lounge is for dining, and we often use this place as it is good value, good food and its a nice little room - in cream and wood panel, with red leather seats and a TV for the footy. The service is fine, there was no background music and the clientele mixed - although can be a little rowdy on days when the Blues have played. Beer; no real ale, all keg stuff, but the M&B MILD is fine Despite no real ale, we use this place often for the food, as we know its ok and reasonably priced (see web link i added). I dont really use the bar, just the little lounge and as long as the MILD stays on, we will visit to eat
