The Bell Inn, Birmingham

After reading a few reviews of this place I was expecting a bit of a formula younsters place. Its far from it and I was pleasently surprised. Its a large pub and bar, comfortable and nice features such as the large fire place. Separated areas, it has a fine feel about it, lots of wood panalling. There are modern features, a number of big screen tvs for sport and I did visit at a Saturday lunchtime & can imagine it does get busy with a young crowd in the evenings, butI think its a fine contrast with the nearby Green Man and I would definately try it if I fancied a livelier evening. As it was, on Saturday lunchtime, I was one of the young people in here at 42, with a number of people enjoying the fine food. A couple of staple real ales, including Bombadier. Very nice pub.

Hmmm. I used to work there 10 years ago and it was the place to be. Has since taken a dive, in my opinion, and attracts some of Coleshill's younger crowd, with others frequenting The Swan.
