Blue Scrumpy left this review about Roberto's Bar
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.

Ian Mapp left this review about Roberto's Bar
Excellent Micro - Robertos was well known and revered in its original location in Digbeth but despite following their social media, I never quite made it.
Eventually, fed up with the constant roadworks from the tram extension - they relocated to Halesowen.
A comfy micro - with lovely red chesterfields in the window..... high rating for the interesting choice of drinks. I've been seeing all sorts of rarities posted. On my visit, I settled for a Torrside smoked Rauchbier and a first seen Anspach and Hobday London Black Stout. Yes, I realise I am jumping the 2023 bandwagon.
Will come back again - keeping my eye open for the tap takeovers.
As with all micros - inside more interesting than the outside for the photo :-)

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.
