Still as good as ever. A very popular pub in the back streets of Hockley. It is howver only a minutes walk from Soho Benson Road tram stop. Probably my favourite Birmingham boozer

Pretty much what Soup Dragon has said. I enjoyed my time at Black Eagle and Old landlady is very pleasant. Quite long way from Hockley centre but worth it for just for decors.

A detached cottage styled brick pub, with central entrance, decorative mural of a black eagle, etched window and beer garden.
The interior has a nesting of rooms, served by a central wood and tiled bar. The first, small bar, is in white and wood panel, with beams. The other is in red and cream. The lounges are where the food is served and was in cream and wood panel. The decoration is supplied by lots of old photographs and prints - it is very traditional and has the occasional beer festival. The service was good, clientele more mature and the background music varied and a little loud.
Beer; tap stuff, with a great Ansell's MILD and Bathams Bitter on handpull. Other real ales include an ok Timothy Taylor Landlord, there were also Pedigree, Brewdog's tasty Blonde, Acorn Barnsley Gold and Kinver Light Railway.
A superb pub, worth visiting before a trip to the several pubs in Hockley. A must.
