The Queens Head, Birmingham

Old-school corner local with three distinct areas: the small 'L'-shaped bar at the front, a compact seating area with banquette seating and six small tables further back and a pool room off to the side at the rear. Sound system in use on a Sunday evening, belting out some (admittedly decent) reggae and blues at quite a volume. No real ale, and even the keg Banks's Mild was off, so made do with the Tetley's Smoothflow (£2.70).

The Queens Head is a decent looking back street corner pub,that is situated in a fairly quiet area,but close to a busy road junction. Once inside there was an L shaped room to the front,the room had becnh seating around the sides,there was some music type equipment to the front left and there was music playing from it,there was a pool table to the rear left,the floor was part carpeted and part lino. There were no real ales on the bar,i opted for a drink of keg Tetley bitter,this took an age to serve,so i went to the toilet when i came back the bar lady was still trying to pour it,so i asked for Banks's mild this also took ages to serve,this was a very poor drink of Keg banks's mild. The pub was fairly busy on my Saturday afternoon visit. This is a locals pub,but it is nice to see small pubs like this still open. Pub visited 17/8/2013

Rather basic street corner local, one room split into two areas with a bar running through. There is an Irish influence, with signs, flags atc. Basic benches/stools and tables. Needs a bit of TLC, but ok. Banks mild and John Smiths bitter on keg
