The Old Joint Stock, Birmingham

Welcoming pub with a great interior and good selection of beer. I have enjoyed every visit. Unsurprisingly given the location,it is often filled with suited office workers. It is also surprisingly child-friendly with a handy board-room like dining area in the rear and, in my experience, friendly staff. Running late to meet my family on a recent visit I asked where they might be and met the warm response "Ah, so you're dad - come this way..." I have also found the doorman friendly and cheerful - and enjoy nipping through the back from the Wellington.

Ornate Fuller's Ale & Pie pub. A central island bar serves an extensive Fuller's selection.

A must do when in Brum its pretty spectacular inside and well described by the eloquent reviewers below . A good hoice of beers available but you will pay for it , my Backyard Nelson (exellent)and wifes half of Amstell came in at well over £6 , but still its well worth a visit .
