Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Peaky Blinder
Pokey-looking bar in an arcade of equally uninspiring shops, although it is almost twice as large inside than one might expect. Basic furniture and no surprise about the TV-inspired decorative theme. No real ale expected, so no disappointment there, with John Smith's (£2.70) among the unimaginative keg offerings.

The Peaky Blinder is a small looking pub that looks like it is under a walkway.
I only found this pub after asking a street person as to where there were any pubs in the area.
There was a doorman outside on my early Saturday evening visit.
Once inside there is a single square shaped room with the bar on the right side,the floor is part carpeted,the seating is comfy bench seating and chairs,there is a DJ rig to the rear which was in use.
There were no real ales on the bar,i had a drink of keg M&B Brew X1 which was a decent enough drink,there was also John Smiths Smooth Crap on the bar.
There was music playing and lots of people dancing which i like to do.
I had a good chat with the barman who looked a bit rough,but this did not bother me.
I though this was a proper pub with lots of people in having a good time.
I quite enjoyed my visit here which was the last pub of my pub crawl.

Now called The Peaky Blinder, playing on the theme of the current TV series and former Birmingham gang.
It a hole in the wall type place, situation under the ramp leading to the shopping square above and not in the best area of the city centre, and a little hidden and uninviting from the outside. Square room with a central pillar, half tiled floor, half carpet, bench seating around the outer walls, a couple of sofas at the window to the front street. There are tellies around the walls, possibly for the sport?
There are several mannequins around dressed as typical Peaky Blinders, in peaked caps & waistcoats, and the theme continues with the bar staff. There is also a wall of fame with various patrons dressed in caps.
The wrong end of High Street and with no real ale it does not give it much, but its ok, clean, friendly and there are not many pubs in the High street area.

A place that has gone through a few names - I remember it as Saramoons in the 80s, but has also had its troubles. Now called the Confession Box, the place is a part of a 1960/70s brutal rebuild of the Dale End area. The Gothic look and dark facade has given way to a white exterior that is far more welcoming unless you are vampire or an Emo. The interior is pretty much a square room, with a central support column. It is quite gloomy, as it is lit by spotlights. The decor is cream (i think), with some patterned wallpaper and there are a few mirrors and beer posters on the walls. There are a couple of TVs, showing sport, and there is a jukebox, but this wasn't on as some bloke in a red suit (not Santa) was acting as a DJ in the corner of the room. Bench seats are around the side and a few tables are present. The floor is tiled. The service was fine and the clientele quite mixed. Beer; just the usual taps, with no MILD or real ale. I had Guinness, which was OK as Guinness is. Lacks my personal choice of drinks, but i was happy to nip in for one.

Now called "Akuna Matata", this pub is strictly for its own regulars. Not a place to pop in to on Saturday afternoon if you're just wandering around town.
