A mighty place. The Guinness is treated with genuine reverence by both the owners and staff, who are also some of the best humans you’ll ever meet. There is a serious risk you’ll get swept up in the craic or feel so at home you forget you only popped in for one. The pub itself is a beautiful building, renovated with real attention to its history after being taken over in mid-2025 by the new owner, while also adding a few features of their own that will no doubt go down in history.

A very friendly old skool boozer. They hiosed us for the pop up Gaeltacht. They gave us some great soup. A fun quiz took place and there was traditional Irish music afterwards. There a cute little beer garden and the Guinness is great. Thank you!

Have frequented this proper pub on many occasions and often take out of town guests here. They serve lots of local beer which is fantastic eg Attic and Birmingham Brewing Company. The pub has regular events. Music. Quizzes. LGBT friendly. Very much enjoy it’s a football free zone also. Has a pool table, courtyard garden, benches outdoor which get the afternoon sun and many books you can hide away with friends for a drink. A must visit for Digbeth
