Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Bartons Arms
Large and very imposing building - left somewhat marooned by various road and urban regeneration projects of dubious merit - dominated by a grand clock tower. However, a lack of distinction is certainly not something you could say about the interior which is widely held as being one of the most remarkable in the country. The tilework and stained glass are fantastic survivors from the late Victorian period when it was built by Mitchell and Butlers in 1901 as their flagship house. On this first revisit since reopening, I found the expected Oakham Citra plus a brace from Green Duck - Supremacy and the seasonal Duck the Halls (£4.70) available from the bank of three handpumps at the front (with the other six around the island bar counter unused). Thankfully (mostly) untouched over the years, so let's hope that it is kept that way so that future generations can make the effort to get out of Birmingham city centre and marvel at this must-visit pub.
