Queens Head, Birmingham

A long thin place with a mix of comfy seating and impractical high stools in the front area and an open to the skies part at the back, upstairs is called a "gin parlour" but I was there late and it was shut. It is popular with young ladies so I was about 35 years too late. Apart from the beer which is ok, although the pint I had was closer to 500ml, and the aforementioned gin it sells cocktails in jam jars and other exotic glassware and according to a notice in the gents they serve beer in schooners (2/3 pint) The punters were a usual city centre bar crowd of suits, slappers, young lads and lasses, the terminally middle aged and even some Brummy hipsters.
