The Vine, Birmingham

A nice Brummie boozer near Five Ways and off Broad Street. Rather traditional, it has been opened up into (almost) one room. The first area is comfortable, then there is a 'bar' area with a pool table and some stool seating, then there is another more comfortable area at the end, up a step. Football friendly, there is a sporting theme here. Though there are some nice pictures of Old Birmingham on the walls. There is a limited but cheap menu. One real ale - it was Beaconshire Beacon Country Ale on my visit, though this was a little warm for me & could have been better kept.

Excellent pub for Guinness. Nice facilities and reasonable prices.
