Walkabout, Birmingham

Large faux-Australian chain drinking barn with no redeeming features apart from the four tables out front on the pavement that catch any evening sunshine. Typically dull beer selection too, although Planet Pale (£5.95) being available as one of the BrewDog beers as well as Punk IPA helped a bit.

You know what you’re getting in these awful places, so I was a bit disappointed to be dragged in here by a group of colleagues, especially as the Wetherspoons was so close. No real ale, the best thing on offer was Camden IPA which was much too cold and was served in plastic beakers. You can drink it but it tastes like – craft. Around 2230 we were shunted off to one side and the floor cleared of furniture so that paralytic morons could attempt to swing various bit of their uncoordinated bodies around each other in time to what passes for music. Other entertainment was provided (outside,and not the pub’s fault) by West Mids Ambulance and gentlemen from the local constabulary discussing with some revelers the merits of glassing one another, the reasons why they shouldn’t resist arrest and their forthcoming inevitable stay at a hospital or prison, depending on which side of the glassing they had participated. Didgereedon’t.

Nothing special these places. Had a couple of pints of freezing cold Punk IPA whilst watching the football. I couldn't spend very long in here to be honest!

You know what your getting with this sort of place , an aussie themed bar with no decent beer except fizzy lagers , there is an outside balcony area overlooking the canal which a large group of drunken middle aged blokes were using to abuse any passing narrowboat and people drinking outside the pub(Tap &Spile} on the other side of the canal , classy .

Loads of these places around and they're all rubbish. No exception here.

Antipodean theme pub with numerous TVs and a large screen for watching sport. Standard draught and food served. Has a nightclub downstairs.
