The Station Bar @ Comfort Inn, Birmingham

Although part of the Comfort Inn hotel, this bar its own entrance for the general public. The irregularly shaped, slightly split-level interior has been given a light, but quite stark, makeover at some stage. No real to be found here either, with Worthington's (£3.60) being the best of a bad lot.

Not the best but it isn't too bad. No real ale that I could see. Had some bitter called Brew Xl.

Still rather unwelcoming due to its position below New Street Station is currently a 2 bar outlet for refreshing the construction workers on the adjoing station. Large screen TVs. The roadworks make this a pretty unhospitable place to get to, but things may change with the opening of the John Lewis store & Spanish Steps to the station in September 2015.
