Vote for the best in Brum !!

I want to come to Birmingham Round 2.

Has anyone done Walsall? Always quality!

Friday afternoons are always out for me. Unless its a school holiday. But then, I might be on holiday!

I really missed going on a big pub crawl.

Of all the pubs you have mentioned - The White Swan is the friendliest, I can see the attractions of the Anchor, but I just don't like the pub. Did you get to the Spotted Dog in Digbeth? I know Soupy wasn't struck, but I quite like it.

The Bartons Arms is amazing! The Old Joint Stock is good, but pricey and I really like Bennetts, although others don't. Bacchus and the Old Contemptibles are also very good.

I don't suppose Soupy got you to the Bull Ring Tavern? No real ale but a really 'interesting' pub!

Has anyone done Walsall? Always quality!

I should think I have! I don't go into Walsall very often of late but after the last home game in May I went to:

White Lion (one of the best in Walsall),
Wheatsheaf (popular with the CAMRA branch, I thought it was so-so but it's now under new managers)
Walsall Arms (I expected more than the one handpull that was on on the night so I was a bit disappointed)
Spring Cottage, Chuckery (friendly, reasonable Indian food but no real ale)
Fountain (a decent real ale pub)

Next time I go out in Walsall I must do the Black Country Arms (Walsall's version of the Wellington - I don't get there often enough); Lyndon House; Victoria, Butts Tavern; Pretty Bricks (if it's open and on form); maybe Arbor Lights
