Designer1 Posted October 5, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted October 5, 2015 The Bull & Bladder in Brierley Hill is the HQ of Bathams, and quickly became a favourite pilgrimage when visiting my folks. My local Geographically, shouldn't it be the Corn Exchange? I can see you drinking in there mate, Carling tops and Blue WKD [emoji1] I'm going to punch you in the baby maker the next time I see you, you cheeky scamp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xann Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 In London I'd recommend none to a West Midlander. They have NO IDEA how to keep their beer. Nice pubs everywhere, sure. Shit beer.The Trafalgar, South Wimbledon.It's like being in someone elderly's sitting room.Beer's good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted October 5, 2015 Author Share Posted October 5, 2015 Going back to Snobs, great memories!. Probably the club I've been to most in my life (that, and the Dome!). Had some good times in there. I think I went most Fridays for a period of about 2 years when I first started at my current job! Smells Like Teen Spirit would play about 3 times every night and a mini mosh would take place on the dancefloor! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted October 6, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted October 6, 2015 My one issue with the Lost and Found is that the gents are in a different county. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 My lounge after a visit to cotteridge wines. Don't do pubs anymore really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenm Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 More of a bar but the Pure Bar in Brum is nice just because of the amazing beer they serve. Even if it's not the most old authentic place in the world, all Purity beers are amazing, even the lagers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islingtonclaret Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Edgbaston Tap before the cricket. It's an absolute shit hole, but the beer is a world better than the stuff you get inside the stadium [emoji38]Are you seriously saying the dross in that dump is better than an a pint of Marstons Old World or pedigree inside the stadium??

Wainy316 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 For Brum I'll go for the 'Post Office Vaults'... My current closest city of Oxford the 'Eagle and Child' (Bird and Baby), Tolkien, C.S. Lewis and their fellow inklings meetings are commemorated inside and they do fantastic in house pork scratchings. Going overseas, Szimpla in Budapest is one of my favourite drinking establishments on earth, if a little tourist heavy. More of a ruin bar than pub but I'm including it anyway... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bar snacks are pretty good there as well.. scratchings and scotch eggs were consumed last time I was there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Xela Posted October 6, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) In terms of grand spectacle, then the Bartons Arms in Aston. Although more of a restaurant now.

Mark Albrighton Posted October 13, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted October 13, 2015 It's shameful how few of these pubs I've heard of. When I'm next in Brum I'll try to sample a couple of them.I'm always looking out for pubs that are somehow noteworthy- historically or otherwise.I've done Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem in Nottingham (supposedly the oldest pub, not sure if it is), I've done the pubs with both the shortest & longest names (both in Stalybridge) and Guy Fawkes' birthplace in York. Anyone got any suggestions for pubs along these lines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted October 13, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted October 13, 2015 One I would suggest, The Boathouse Inn, Shrewsbury. Lovely setting overlooking the river. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted October 13, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted October 13, 2015 And if you'd like to see portraits of Marc Bolan, Sid Vicious, John Lennon, Freddie Mercury and Amy Winehouse dressed in Tudor gear set in a 15th century building, I'd recommend the Henry Tudor House, also in Shrewsbury.
