Lovely club other than this.

The Night Owl is a new bar in Birmingham situated next to spotlight and next door. It plays…read moreNorthern Soul music, Disco, Live music. the Night Owl is a music bar that is really dedicated to the quintessential English genre which merges mod, motown and more in the search of a good time. Personally for me its not my kind of music but you'll defiantly find yourself tapping your feet. Good drinks and ales on offer. It has a second mezzanine floor where you can find sofa seating and old school school tables used as coffee tables. There is a bar upstairs but its never open unless on busy nights

As it was a rare occasion where the sun was out, we wanted to make the most of it so we headed to…read morethe nearest beer garden by my friends house. I'd never been there before or even heard of it for that matter. The inside was a bit dark and I'd say it appears smaller from the inside than it does the outside. After queing for about 5 minutes, we ordered a couple of ciders and took them outside. I was surprised there weren't more benches and seating options than there were as there seemed to be a lot of people there. There wasn't much of an atmosphere as there was a complete mix of people, both young and old, but the venue was OK and perfect if you're looking for a quiet place to go and enjoy a drink.

Yes, this is one of my favourite times of the year - The Raven's Bonfire Extravaganza! I came here every year as a child and I continue to keep The Raven torch alive now with my friends. Once a year we get together, meeting on the train, transferring to a bus and ending the journey in a taxi. It's worth it, believe me! We start off the afternoon by grabbing a bite to eat from the vast menu, then we watch the late football game in the side bar. As the evening draws closer we go out into the huge garden for the spectacular fireworks display and enjoy a jacket potato, a burger or a hot dog from one of the food stands. The night ends with us putting our final coins into the jukebox and we dance the night away. The pub got refurbished last October so I popped in to have a nose around. It looks amazing. The menus have been updated, the garden has been spruced up and the layout of the pub is more open and welcoming. The only downside is that they have taken out the jukebox but...they've replaced it with a quiz machine, so I was kept happy. I can't wait to go back this October to enjoy another great night out.

It's a loud, lively and boisterous atmosphere, with raucous laughter and conversation erupting and escalating every other minute. My friend is a coach of a local Gaelic football team so he uses Casey Joe's as a spot to celebrate or drown their sorrows after a match - but the one things that's guaranteed is that whenever there are drinks flowing it's going to be enjoyed regardless of what preceded it. Being one large room, it's not the kind of pub to go to if you want to have a quiet pint on a Friday, so it's not a pub for the faint-hearted. It's for those who take life by the scruff of the neck, drink a lot and live boldly. With some drink, sport, food, a killer atmosphere and Irish pride, you have yourself a fine pub.

Casey Joe's is the kind of place which sums up the spirit of Irish Birmingham. The emphasis in this…read moreestablishment is on atmosphere and ensuring that all that set foot through the door are given the warmest of Birmingham Irish welcomes. It is a regular meeting spot for Gaelic football teams and as such throughout the Gaelic season you can expect to find it as part of their live sport schedule. So other than booze, atmosphere and live sport the other ingredient which makes up a good drinking hole is undoubtedly quality pub grub. With a curry and a pint priced at just three pounds ninety nine Casey Joe's certainly ticks that box. In short, you would have to look hard to discover something not to like about Casey Joe's particularly if you are a fan of Irish culture. It's not too hard on the wallet and the atmosphere is sensational, there are very few reasons not to pay this place a visit.

Since taking it over 7 years ago Brendon has certainly regenerated the pub and realised the true potential of what is a lovely building. There are ciders and ales available at the bar, and more ales in the cellar. I sup a Butty Bach from Herefordshire, and its well kept and a good drop. The ciders are ones I've not seen before: Millwhites press and brew a blackberry cider, which at 6.0% has it's strength hidden by a Summery sweetness. Hungry families and hungover tums can enjoy a carvery on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. There's a separate music venue in the shape of Route 44, where live original and covers rock bands play, and where there's the occasional classic rock disco on to get your metal hair a head-banging to!

The telly is usually on when I go in there and it's usually showing something which I ignore but the locals seem to enjoy, so I just get on with my conversation and get my fix from the bar. Avoid: if you're bringing your missus and want to impress her (unless she's in to this sort of place). Good for: variety, homely atmosphere, and are sick of the noisy 'spoons up the road and don't want to pay hotel prices of the Westley Arms.

The staff are friendly and they are used to dealing with local drunks, which The Lady Westminster has a lot of. The pub in itself is not too big, just the size of two regular shop floors. The pub offers Sky Sports for all you budding sports fans out there. It has a pool table and chalk scorecard so you can have a quick game whilst enjoying your pint. The pool table is a little difficult to play on as it is in an alcove. This prevents you from stretching for shots and it does tend to inhibit the game a little. The food is standard pub grub and goes down nicely if you have a belly full of beer to contend with. The atmosphere can turn a little rowdy and hostile when it is busy on week nights so it is best not to look at unsavoury characters, or even stare in their general vicinity. I have seen a few fights at this pub and believe me the were not for the faint hearted.
