The Shakespeare, Birmingham

I passed this one last night - it is closed and has been for a while - a few windows have been put through and are boarded-up.

Roadside local. Four areas - a games area, with pool and table football also arcade machines, a long seating area facing the bar, an end room with disco lights and a back bar. The woodwork is painted in silver. Its needs a bit of attention and its a basic pub, reflecting its location but its ok. No real ale, and the keg bitter is truely dreadful.
