Sacks of Potatoes, Birmingham

Keen to see if this student haunt of my youth still exists. Traditional looking pub, painted black externally on ground floor with a cream upper story. Some outside picnic benches. Inside, typical pub high tables, each with large menu of pub grub. Central U Shaped Bar. Stained glass/leaded windows were perhaps the most memorable aspect, with the sunlight pouring through. Two cask on - HPA and Doom Bar. Half an HPA in decent enough condition. I was the only punter at first on a bank holiday lunch time. Where are the students :-)

A pleasant pub in the University. Unlike the nearby Costa Green this doesn't have the feel of a student bar. U-shaped inside its has 9 handpulls (I think) of which 3 were used for real cider. A traditional looking pub. I liked it.
