One of the Bitter 'n' Twisted venues in the city. Serves pretty good food along with plenty of beers. Music on the weekend is a great mash of funk, hip hop and dance...Oh, did I mention it's haunted?

Great atmosphere, great food. Quirky and original. Staff are very knowledgable about the choice of ales and drinks on sale. Bar service can be slow when all the staff are making cocktails though.

Theatre pub established in the late 19th century. A unique blend of period & funky style with original art, cozy spots for conversation while drinks are expertly crafted by seasoned mixologists

Brilliant place! Huge choice of reasonably priced cocktail. Try "Violet Tendancies" mmm! Music is soul, funk, a real mix. Great atmosphere. Get in early for a seat Fri/Sat.

Bar staff are very helpful- when I hesitated when ordering a drink I was provided with samples of some of the guest ales! Great music & live events too, obviously.

Also one of the best pre-club bars. Always full of friendly people. Strangely standing outside is usually more interesting than staying indoors...weather permitting of course.

Historic pub beside the New Victoria Theatre. Good selection of ales and cocktails but prices very high.

Try the Artisan Cocktail created by me for our links to independent galleries and Birmingham creatives, it is not on the list-it is a secret just for us.

Nice atmosphere, great craft beers. Service is great in the day but can be shockingly bad when they're busy.

Beer was good, menu looked amazing for speciality Burgers and Pizzas. The Stilton Burger looks amazing !

Brooklyn larger and Kirin Ichiban on tap make this place pretty amazing. The soul food is great too.

Nicer to come in the afternoon as it's a lot less crowded.

Helpful and nice staff but lousy DJs. Music on fridays is specially bad. Better try one of the bars nearby.

Beware the upstairs toilet, on quiet nights it gets locked, sometimes with you in it.
