The Bull, Birmingham

A brick built corner pub, with some white render and green paintwork and etched windows. The interior is open plan, with two areas around the central wood bar. The decor is a mix of light and dark blue, with decoration mainly being supplied by the collection of hanging jugs that adorn the place. They do food and although i have not tried it, it has been recommended. The service is always friendly and the clientele mixed, though perhaps mainly the more mature. There is a nice tiled fireplace. Beer; tap stuff, of course, with Ansell's MILD being the main choice for me. On handpull there was Pedigree and Adnams Broadside at least, sadly my notes failed me at this point! The pub is splendid, always worth a visit.

This place has B&B facilities (£40/night last I heard), and always has three or four well kept guests on. Food is good, filling stuff, and generously heaped. The staff are very welcoming, and the place, despite being tucked away down a little side street off a little side street. The fact that housebricks were used to house prior to the smoking ban should show how relaxed the atmosphere is in here. Mind you don't bang your head on the extensive milk jug collection hanging from the rafters...

This pub on the corner of Price Street and Loveday Street is called The Bull and was built circa 1800.
