Pub Comments Location
BIRMINGHAM
Newt An enormous plastic pub in the basement of the shopping centre, but providing a good pint of Bank's Bitter
Last visited December 2006.
Pallasades
COVENTRY
Charterhouse A friendly one bar two sided pub, off the beaten track, attached to a rather good indian restaurant. The restaurant has a separate entrance but they will let you sneak through behind the bar when it's raining.
Last visited April 2000.
Terry Road / Orwell Road
City Arms A typical Beefeater restaurant, with Boddington's beer.
Last visited 1996.
Earlsdon Avenue South, Earlsdon
Craven Arms A pub with a rather good Chinese restaurant attached. Banquet B recommended.
Last visited 1996.
Woodway Lane
Litten Tree A fairly new large open bar/restaurant with nice decor, busy on a Saturday afternoon. The food is good but the real ale is not. Unusually, there's waitress service, and you don't pay for your meal until you've eaten it.
Last visited August 2002.
 
Mount Pleasant I wandered out of my plastic hotel, passed MacDonalds, Blockbuster, ASDA and KwikSave, and what a pleasant surprise - Decent beer in a rather nice large pub with only one small bar counter and a number of separate eating and drinking areas. My only complaint was that the Greene King Abbot was served through a totally inappropriate sparkler.
Last visited April 2000.
Hinkley Road / Brade Drive, Walsgrave
Millpool Real Ales from Everard's and guests, and some very nice food in this large busy suburban pub.
Last visited May 2008.
Hipswell Highway / Omar Road
Old Clarence Another pub with a Chinese restaurant attached.
Last visited 1996.
Earlsdon Avenue North
Old Windmill Inn "Ma Brown's" A splendid ancient multi-roomed pub. Nice wood panelling and an impressive collection of pump clips on display.
Last visited August 2002.
