Strongers . left this review about The Moseley Arms
The Moseley Arms has a rear facing serving counter next to a banquette with tables on the front wall, premium keg and Carling are supported. There’s lots of standing room around the bar area before banquettes that run up the left. Central supporting columns up the centre of the room from front to rear are joined together with shelving to create high tables that have some stools. To the right rear is a raised seating area with a dartboard and a television was airing a news program with sound, obviously no money in the jukebox. Live sport is advertised, so I was surprised that Wimbledon tennis on the BBC wasn’t being shown. While I was waiting to be served a young chap who had been munching on disco biscuits emerged from the hotel door to the left of the counter. He bumped into a local at the counter before mumbling something incoherent, and he then left to go on an adventure up and down the road. Out the back is a car park and some picnic table that sit under a huge canopy. I though this place was poor, so don’t plan on revisiting.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Moseley Arms
Much more modern within the remodelled interior than one might expect, with light decor and tidy furniture. Largely opened-out but leaving three distinct spaces, with the dining area located up a single step. Also offers hotel accommodation. Unfortunately, neither of the handpumps (with reversed Doom Bar clips) was operational, so went for the keg Worthington (£3.10) which is definitely more popular in this part of the city than the dreaded John Smiths.

Modernised opened up corner local with overnight rooms. One square room with central fire place. A quarter is given over to a pool table, around the rest is lounge seating including padded benches around the walls. Modern pine bar, white walls. A bit different for the area.
No real ale, Worthington Creamflow.

A now detached corner pub, part in undressed brick and part white render with black paintwork.
The interior is an open plan modern room, but it seem partitioned down the middle to form a table and comfy chair area and a sofa area, which as the review below states, is in a cinema style with a few rows of sofas (and pouffes) facing a large screen TV, which had the cricket on - the sofas were empty! The decor is in white and blue/silver patterned wallpaper. There were blinds on the windows and a couple of pictures to break up the bare walls. The service was functional at first, but we got a friendly goodbye on departure and there was one other person in when i visited.
Beer; no real ale, all keg stuff, with Brew XI, which was OK.
An attempt at something different as Digbeth is full of th more traditional kind of place. While the interior of this pub isnt to my taste, it does offer something different

This is a fine Victorian building from the outside.
The interior has been done out in a modern style with Paisley wallpaper and leather sofas arranged in a strange 'cinema' style facing a big screen. I assume they have live music or some form of entertainment here. The room is open plan, but laid out in 'sections'. The interior is clearly new.
There are no real ales at all on at this pub. Its just your usual array of lagers and smoothpours. Brew XI smoothpour was on and this is what I sampled. It was perfectly drinkable.
I have no objection to modern interiors in 'traditional' pubs. For me however, the beer was uninspired. I doubt I will return.
