The Patrick Kavanagh

Address: 142 Trafalgar Rd, Birmingham B13 8BX

Featured review: “You get the atmosphere  of a true Irish type of pub - old rustic but with a good  setup for watching  sport  on  large screen TVs, bar staff are brilliant  and friendly  and must add the Guinness  is spot on,  equally  as good  as Guinness  I drank in Dublin. Would recommend for a good time.”
