O'Neill's, Birmingham

Large pub with a sensible variety of seating areas, otherwise a standard-issue faux-Irish bar with decor to suit. Still, it does do real ale, and Doom Bar, Pedigree and a reasonable pint of Purity Pure UBU (£3.70) available from three of four handpumps. Overall, one of this dubious chain's better outlets.

Large Irish theme bar on Broad Street. Plenty of seating areas and its nice inside, big enough to absorb the different areas with some interest and not the worst bar in the area architecturally. 4 real ales - Nicholsons PA, Doom bar, Purety UBU and Pedigree. However my Pedigree was luke warm and as if it had come out of the hot tap. Ok, it was a warm day but that was undrinkable!
