Canal House (when it was The James Brindley)
Villa Tavern
I may have visited some in my student days but the mists of time.................
Just the Welly for me. Brum isn't a city I've explored pub-wise, despite living 10 mins away from the London-Birmingham Chiltern Line.

Had a quick look and been in most. I'll check through properly.
Have to say a couple on the list would not win any awards, believe me!
More country pubs.
Just The Gunton Arms for me.
Not suprisingly none of those.Quote:

11 Skehans, never been aware of it.
I am also missing Skehans, which was a Watney pub in the days when I frequented the area, and the Jamaica Wine House.Quote:

Not as bad as The Queen Elizabeth nearby. A nasty pub and a terrible drinking experience, not improved 11 years to the day since Rex's review. Fulham is a very poor drinking experience in general.Quote:

26/100 for me.
37 for me, but how can the long closed Jolly Angler still be on the list? :confused:
Probably be on there for another couple of years yet.Quote:

Checked on BITE. They still think it is open!! :muppet: :lol:
...or indeed the Hillsborough Hotel? (Reported closed on this site 30/06/2020.)Quote:

Around 60 on a quick run through without actually checking. There are some good ones there though quite a few might have featured in such a list some years ago but not really now.Quote:

Got to love a list, but a paltry 14/100 for me.Quote:

Some good choices here with 10 for me, the Blythe Hill Tavern on my hit list; the Old Fountain and Union Tavern visited by me this week. Quite how the Prince Edward made it onto the list and at No. 25 too is a bit of a mystery.Quote:

A quick trawl, but 53, I think...
Approx 27 for me, The Leopold in Southsea has been a shadow of its former self for some time and the Park Tavern in Southfields SW18, is there something I don't know?
A slightly slower trawl, and admittedly the list may have changed, but 58 now, I think!Quote:
