The Jewellers Arms, Birmingham

What a find this one was today while wandering around Hockley. It is a recently refurbed bar by Black Country Ales and like the others in the chain it has 3 of their own beers and a selection of 7 other ales from a variety of breweries. I was spoiled for choice but enjoyed my Salcombe Seahorse beer.

Black Country Ales have done a great job with this pub. Now boasting a large selection of ales. The 2 we tried were in fine form.

After a closure, this pub has been refurbed and taken over by Black Country Ales. It is due to reopen December 2017.

As Mr Hondo says this is a good old style locals local. 2 roomed with just the one real ale, Hobson's best, though there are 2 handpumps in the lounge bar. I liked it cos its unspoilt without being a dive.

An old style bar and lounge with 2 real taps(both off on my visit).

This is the one boozer in the area that hasn't been taken over by the Hipsters. Very traditional inside - one real ale - Hobsons Best - which was in good nick. Mixed crowd of football fans (football was on), old guys drinking away the afternoon, pre-wedding crowds and interested pub tourists. That was me.

The Jewellers Arms is one of those pubs i like the look of,it is situated in the heart of the Jewellery Quarter. Once inside the pub has two seperate rooms,the lounge is to the right,this is a square shaped room that is almost divided into two halfs,the front half is larger and had comfy bench seating on both sides facing each other,the rear half is similar in style,the room is carpeted and seemed well kept. The bar to the left is smaller and had a pool table in it. There was only one real ale on the bar,but this was a nice one from Hobsons brewery,Hobsons bitter,this went down very well. The pub does food and there were plenty eating,the pub was also packed in the lounge with what looked like football suporters,probably Birmingham fans but they seemed friendly enough. I quite liked this pub. Pub visited 17/8/2013
