Birmingham's interesting attempt at Budapest Ruin Bar. Gets the model down to a tee - all mismatched distressed furniture and old technology nailed to the walls.
Quirky - lovely staff - and a decent pint of Staropramen.

Called in on 4.1.20 to see what real ales were on in this quirky looking corner pub, and chose a local Dig Brew beer which was fine.

Bit hidden away, but close to the Digbeth Brewery Tap, a corner pub with a few different areas despite being small. Homemade DJ booth, there is an outside space and the back room has various distressed former computers on the walls. A distressed look!
Different and quirky, there are 4 real ales
