Birmingham is home to some of the best pubs across the whole of the UK, in our biased opinion anyway, but what ever happened to the good old days?
The days when a pub was a pub, you just had a drink or two, maybe a couple of games of darts or pool. There are plenty of exciting venues and activity bars now operating in Birmingham that offer an 'immersive experience'. As great as some of these new concepts are, we all want to go to an old-school Birmingham pub now and then.
We've traipsed around the city looking for the very best of traditional Brummie pubs, the simple old-school pubs where you can get a pint, have a good time, and maybe enjoy a bit of live music.
So, take a look below for 13 of the very best old-school traditional pubs of Birmingham ranked definitively.
