Roberto's Bar, Halesowen

As with Ian, I never quite made Roberto's in Digbeth (Birmingham), but have now managed to visit the new bar in Halesowen town centre. It has the look and feel of a micropub, but only one of the two handpulls at the end of the bar was clipped with Fixed Wheel Mild Concussion. Craft beers were Mousesweet Vickers Nut Brown, Burning Soul 0121 Brew One & Anspach & Hobday London Black. The Mild Concussion was pleasant, but I somehow expected a more extensive beer selection. There were however a number of other lagers and Belgium beers on offer. Our visit was on a Wednesday evening and we were invited to join in with a quiz, but we still had a few more pubs and clubs in the area to visit. Nevertheless, the bar was starting to fill up. So, it is clearly a popular night out. This place did not quite live up to the lofty expectations I'd placed it under, but for Halesowen town centre, it's a valuable addition.

Wasn't The Liquor Lounge for long! Now renamed again - Roberto's Bar. I'll add a new picture soon.

Modern one room wine bar / lounge. 2 screens showing the football. Nothing on the ale front but I was happy enough to pop in for one.
