I was also hungry and was told that the only food options were a couple of sandwiches. But I was assured that the sandwiches were quite good. I was told by the bartender that the cheese and onion was the best. Fast forward to a couple of seconds later as I stared in horror at this abomination before me. Perhaps they were just ribbing this yank. I will include a photo. It was a dry roll with the hardest block of cheese know to man and four gigantic rings of raw onion. And that is it! I could barely smell it much less eat it. I love the UK for so many reasons--their sandwiches are not one of them. Perhaps caramelize the onions, or pickle the onions, add some mayo or mustard, anything would have improved this thing. I should have know better as I am still trying to figure out the breakfast ham roll that is ham on a roll (no egg, no cheese, no condiment, no thanks). Love the UK but you could level up the Sammy game.

The Anchor is a very old-fashioned, family-run pub, a few minutes away from Birmingham Coach…read morestation in Digbeth. It's been going since at least 1797. Although the location is rather unprepossessing - it's in a slightly run-down commercial area - the pub itself is grade II listed, on account of its well-preserved Victorian terracotta exterior, and its untouched internal layout of separate but interconnected rooms (four or five, depending how you count them). Apart from the sports TV screen in one room, you feel it could be anywhere between 1935 and 1965. The atmosphere is very blokey, in an old-fashioned sort of way - there were very few women customers on our visit - but friendly enough. The real draw to this out-of-the-way spot is the beer. There's a fantastic selection of real ales available, very well kept and well served. Many are from small, independent breweries, and there's a rotating choice of them. There are also regular beer festivals, and other special events. It's in CAMRA's Good Beer Guide, and was the local area's pub of the year in 2003. Service was very good, in a business-like rather than friendly way (the web-site is very cheery, though). They are the meeting venue for various local groups, and do lots of charity fund-raising, so they clearly have a regular and loyal clientele.

This was my first visit and I was enchanted by the number and variety of rooms - large bar, small snug, large snug, outdoor seating and what looked like a library room. I am told this is a grade II listed public house and it really does have a lovely old feel. The real ale 'menu' looked pretty daunting - the ones currently available having a price next to them. I wussed out and plumped for a pint of Erdinger Weissbier - pretty good stuff. It was pretty quiet inside as it was a Thursday evening but it felt nice almost having the selected room to ourselves. I noticed they serve bar meals and I will be visiting again soon to try one.

Great old fashioned, no nonsense pub. Recently taken over…read moreby the local brewery two towers, it's a great find just outside the hub of the city centre. The beer as to be expected is fantastic and best of all, cheap. Compared to similar pubs and bars that sell good quality beer from small breweries, they don't go over board with the prices with the most expensive being £2.80. It's refreshing to not only see a brewery's pub ditch the high prices but also the pretension of most places nowadays. The guy Behind the bar, Mark, was friendly and great to talk to, even offered to pay for my pint when I ran out of money! He spoke about the brewery in depth and about Birmingham in general which was fascinating to hear about its past. It's brilliant to see a rare place like this and I really hope it thrives and succeeds cause it would be good to see old pubs like this make a comeback. Not even mentioned all the events they have that seem to make use of all the local talent, either. Definitely a place that speaks to what's great about Birmingham and will be going back very soon.
