Ale Rooms, Solihull

With a split-level 'L'-shaped interior, this is slightly larger than most micro-pubs, and the background music will be unwelcome by some. However, it otherwise looks much as you would expect and was doing good business on a rainy Wednesday evening. Importantly, given its target audience, there was a fine selection of real ales in a variety of different styles from six of seven handpumps, with the local Silhill North Star hopped Porter (just £3.00 with a Camra discount) being good value.

Nice little micropub and a great addition to the area. This was my main reason for visiting Knowle and it was worth it. Great beer and friendly people. If you are going please note that it doesn't open until 2 !
