Well done to the city centre pub The Wellington for being voted the pub of the year in Birmingham yet again.

An olde worlde pub, but not in an imported tat kid of way - this feels like its been like this forever. 8 real ales, mostly local(ish) beers.

I have to admit that I picked this pub like so many old ladies pick race horses - by the name.

A proper boozer with a long bar with over 10 real ales on & a darts team. The beers are listed clearly at the side of the bar & the fridges behind the bar are teaming with decent beer in bottles.

Well you've been in one Weatherspoon's & you've more-or-less been in them all. It's both their greatest & worst point.

A pub right on the edge of Aston Uni's campus in the city centre & with loads of "we're bonkers, we are" students using the cash point next to the pub, but none actually in the pub.
