Scruffy Murphy's, Birmingham

Appalling from the outside, being the corner of a multi-story car park and in the current butt end and dingy part of town, and is unlikely to change even with ongoing Eastside developments, this is specialist pub that would only likely be used by fans of rock music. No real ale, there is keg Boddingtons that is ok. That being said, it appears to cater for a varying age group of rockers and the music stems from various periods to suit. It has a salon bar type of feel, with dark wood cladding, and then various posters dotted about, and its feel is better than you would expect. Normally I would probably mark this down as a 5, but on a personal level enjoyed the rock music and their ability to appeal to all genres/ages in that field. Therefore if you like your rock music, and rock bars, this is a great place to visit, and recieves extra marks from me for that aspect.
