The Square Peg (JD Wetherspoon), Birmingham

Strongers . left this review about The Square Peg (JD Wetherspoon)

The Square Peg is a very long Wetherspoons with steps up to the entrance that opens to a small beer fridge stuffed with cans on the wall opposite. To the right of this entrance is a long carpeted open plan seating area where every table was being used by an older crowd, most of whom were dining. To the left of the entrance is a very long curved edge serving counter that faces a single row of high tables before a row of normal tables that run across the front windows where there’re views of local crack heads milling about in between people waiting for buses. One of the locals was crashed out on the entrance steps with people just stepping around him like it was normal. The left-hand side of the pub opens out with a mix of open plan seating that was overlook by a projector screen that was airing Cheltenham horse racing. Available from the bar were the usual three cask options alongside Black Hole Brewery’s Aleien Invasion and Asteroid, alongside lots of beer festival options, although they were doubled and the end bank of hand pumps were clipped but not available, which I also found was the case in another Spoons I recently visited. This pub’s location means that it’s always going to be busy, so it’s a good spot to sit and people watch, but there are more interesting pubs in the area so I don’t plan on revisiting, although I will mention that the barmaid that served me was very friendly.
