The Bull

Historic pub in the Gunmakers Quarter. Centuries of gun trade workers, high/low brow customers have enjoyed a drink and meal here. History oozes from the walls. Good selection of draught and cask beers. Pub menu with some slight and enjoyable twists. Quiet, laidback vibe. Just come, have a pint and soak the history.

This is a brilliant pub. It’s a classic, old-style pub that has a community of regulars and exemplifies how pubs used to be! The bar tender was welcoming, friendly, sociable, attentive, and knowledgeable about the drinks. The resident cat (of 16 years!) was a welcome edition. Never before have I been to a pub with a cat, and it brought me joy! For food I had the jacket potato with cheese and beans. This I thought was a reasonable price on balance of the quality and the atmosphere, however I would prefer to see more vegetarian mains if possible. The jacket itself, however, did not disappoint - it was thinly crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the portion size was generous, including the side salad. The toilets were clean and clientele friendly. I would definitely recommend a visit and hope to re-visit myself when back in Birmingham!
