paulof horsham left this review about The Cloak & Dagger
The Cloak & Dagger's entrance is up a short corridor from the road and, once inside, you'll encounter a micropub feel kind of bar, with 3 ale pumps, one for cider and one spare. There's also an 8-tap fount offering mostly crafty kegs. Spotting The Kernel Summer Pale as a cask option made for an easy choice.
Seats nearer the bar are high up in the form of stools and small tables while, nearer the road, the rest are at the correct height and, naturally, more popular.
The soundtrack here is classic rock (so far as I can tell), which does seem appropriate for the region.
Certainly a worthwhile option when in Stirchley.

After the edgy feel of the Cork and Cage next door, this micro had a more anonymous, sedate feel. Matching furniture, painted walls. British Legion does City Centre Coffee house.
The drinks ranged seemed a little more conservative too. Oakham Citra, where next door they were on Vault City Apple Soor..
Fine, but won't last in the memory.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Wildcat
Rather anonymous modern bar in a row of small shops and takeaways, with a very dark façade and a plain café-like interior. However, once in, you find a buzz of conversation and a good selection of craft beers in different formats. BBF Delray Beach, Buxton Best Bitter and the more local Rise of the Holly King from Fownes (£4.20) were available from three of the five handpumps, eight keg taps on the bar-back, two KeyKeg from a portable unit on the counter and plenty of different cans in a pair of fridges. Overall, much better than it initially looks.
