Situated just out of the centre of the Jewellery Quarter, as the previous reviewer says, this pubs has changed hands since my last visit which was almost 10 years ago. Last time I was here on a Saturday evening and it was busy. This time was a mid-afternoon Saturday visit with the pub feeling much more relaxed.
A corridor on the right-hand side of the pub leads to both the front and rear rooms. As on my previous visit, I stayed in the front room without visiting the other one. Although this time we were able to bag seats. A group of blokes were about to leave as we arrived. They had been watching a Six Nations rugby match on the TV, but they were also discussing football with a Derby County fan sat at the bar.
3 handpulls were all clipped with Joule's beers - Shropshire Hop, Pure Blonde & Slumbering Monk. Their Eden Haze & Day Dream were on keg.
A decent traditional pub but there are better in the Jewellery Quarter.

Now a Joules pub with 3 of their beers on in the bar. I went for the Best Bitter which was a decent pint.
Still an attractive boozer with decent ale. Well worth a visit.

A friendly little 2 bar traditional local, with a courtyard drinking area out the back. There are some good heritage touches, including good tiling and a splendid Banks's mirror. Just Davenports Gold on handpump, with a clip-reversed Landlord, but the pub has just been bought up by Joules who will be introducing a range of their beers shortly. The Davenports will remain however. A refurbishment is also planned, but hopefully sensitively. Nice enough to visit now, but potentially even better.
