You'll be astounded to learn that many of my formative years were spent in that pub. Explains a hell of a lot.

WHAT a pub.

RIP.

Whatever rough pub people can tell me they used to drink in "back in the day" - I can always pull out my Custard House card and know it can't be trumped.

It's probably not rough - I've yet to be beaten up there - but even to this day The Bull Ring Tavern is full of old school craziness.

Yeah. For some reason an old mate of mine loves The Bull Ring Tavern and insists on meeting me in there just to piss me off.

It is choc-full of...characters, shall we say?

Nice enough in their ways, but different wavelength.

The Happy Trooper, the Broadway & The Merrymaker were rougher in my opinion. Having said that, as a person that has drank in most rough pubs in Birmingham over the years, it depends what night and who is in there as far as pubs being rougher than each other.
