Rock & Roll Brewhouse, Hockley, Birmingham

Now closed. They have moved to Hall Street - not that far away!

What a terrific place! About 100 people crammed into an industrial unit, old soul records playing and beer brewed on the premises. We grabbed the last 2 seats and settled in, sampling 2 of the 3 ales available. They post their playlists on social media, so you can see what'll be playing when you visit (or what was on when you were there). Have to say, though, the toilets weren't great.

Very quirky and very full of folk having a good time. Loud music in the bar area and very dark. Friendly staff serving 3 ales - thought there would be more choice in a brew pub, but there was a mild and the cpndition of the 2 we chose were fine. Lots of 45 singles and posters adorn the walls and ceiling.

Jewellery Quarter bar inside the Brewery, with limited opening hours. Very compact & small its still a very interesting different space, unlike any other, though has the feel of a railway arch. The little alcoves are quirky, all the music material décor the same. Almost a blast back to cosmopolitan 70's. The beer is very good, as you would expect. Well worth visiting, but does soon fill up.
