Katie O'Brien's, Birmingham

New refurbishment of former shop/office area by a small chain, creating a distressed look shabby chic bar, specialising in cocktails with green leaves in them. The pub is entranced through a small outdoor area to the street separated by quite impressive iron gates/fence with the long bar on the left seating by the bar and separated again with a larger more comfortable area to the right at the rear. Large chandeliers with green bits in again. Its a little pretentious and themey, but its a nice feel, the frontage looks grand and there is an effort made with the food and drink, there are 4 real ales chosen well (Oakham JHB, Bishops Farewell, local Two Towers Complete Muppetry plus another I can't remember. The beer was a little warm and flat, but I think things will improve and this could be something a little different for Birmingham
