The Queens Arms, Birmingham

Well kept traditional pub serving four ales on our visit. A very attractive looking victorian exterior and once through the door, I thought the decor was a bit bland. Needs that Victorian charm put back into the place. There was a very tempting menu of trad butchers sausages of all different varieties. Also serves steaks etc, so may eat here next time. I went for the Wye Valley HPA and Holdens Golden Glow. Will return.

Lovely pub. Always a good selection of ales. Great atmosphere and the service was friendly. Highly recommended.

Three or four ales on a any one time. A nice tidy place. Friendly staff.

A beautiful Victorian exterior with an L shaped open plan interior that has had virtually all the Victorian features removed. It has plain maroon walls and posters in the style of the Stereophonics 'Keep Calm and Carry On' album cover. The pub had a very relaxed atmosphere on Saturday evening when Mrs Staal and I visited. The clientele was mixed and it was very busy. There were two televisions showing the Man U match. There were three real ale taps, St Austell Tribute, which was very nice, Sharp's Doom Bar, served Southern style, but very tasty and an untried Purity UBU. The usual array of lagers were present, and Guinness. At well over £3.00 a pint, the ales were not cheap. The menu looked simple and nice. I hadn't been to the Queens Arms for almost a year. It is certainly a nice place to spend an hour or so...
