I've visited the Rose Villa Tavern a couple of times in recent months. The first in Summer when cask ale is apparently not available, the second definitely in late Autumn when the hand pumps were still devoid of clips. If that's what you're here for, prepare for disappointment and a slightly longer walk (fortunately, there are better ale options just a few minutes away). The keg selection is pretty run of the mill, with a Brixton Pale as crafty as it got, with all your regular lagers on offer as well.
While the interior continues to impress, the beer options and multiple large screens for sport, or Sky Sports News when there's noting live on, suggest that I'm no longer part of the pub's intended demographic and I'll take the hint next time I'm in the Jewellery Quarter.

No smell of urine, male or female on my visit, but the interior tiling is indeed beautiful, a quite cavernous high ceilinged main room with a long bar running down the centre with six handpumps in total, just a choice of Purity Mad Goose or Oakham Citra, the latter being in good shape. The gripe I have was the music, albeit a good selection it was being played full whack with people having to shout their orders over the bar, totally unnecessary and has cost them a point.

Surely one of the most beautiful pubs in the country, but after taking a few external photos and entering the pub my impression was not one of aesthetic wonder but revulsion at the smell filling the corridor from the gents' toilet. Luckily it didn't permeate as far as the bar counter, but my beer, Pale Brummie from Birmingham brewery, was in poor condition. I took a few more photos of the stunning windows and tiles, but the spell was broken. Throwing a few disinfectant cubes into a urinal does not constitute cleaning it, any more than you can look after a real ale without tasting it, smelling it and checking for clarity at the start of the day and from time to time thereafter. Only the magnificent appearance of this pub, both outside and in, saves it from an ignominious rating of 1.
