Pubs in Sutton Coldfield

[marshbrewer]

I'm working in Brummy land at the moment,and will be stuck in a hotel in Sutton Coldfield, including some weekends. I went on a run around the area the other night and could only see a couple of chain pubs. Can anyone point me in the direction of any pubs / bars with decent cask for me to cry into whilst lamenting not being in the countryside?

Look here https://www.whatpub.com/search?q=su...67&r=10&t=t&p=1&features=PubClub,Open,RealAle

127 to choose from! I haven't been there for 50 years so can't give personal recommendations but I find this web page very useful. I'm out in the sticks, so the best beer for 50 miles is in the shed.

Thanks, thats a really useful website ~ I feel I shall use it a lot on my travels. Mostly corporate pubs near my hotel, but there is the Boldmere Tap a mile or so away, so I'll give that a go.

jjsh you’ve just taken me back to my student days at Perry Bar when I had digs for 8-9 months in Sutton Coldfield. Not far from the Conservative Club(?) on Rectory Road.

I can only remember a pub called the Three Tuns as you left the town going up a bit of a hill and borrowing motoring books from the library (classic cars and racing were obviously my first love) and I guess the Library and the Three Tuns are both now well gone.

Three Tuns is still going, a Thwaites pub, serving three ales. https://www.whatpub.com/pubs/TAM/3228/three-tuns-sutton-coldfield

Hi..
I'm a Sutton Coldfield native...Albeit I live in Mere Green where there's a excellent spoons called the Mare Pool
The tuns is ok,but it shows a lot of sport.At the top end of Sutton..towards the cinema,there is a good bar with daily choices called the craft inn..There is also a pub whom brew onsite,Brewhouse andKitchen..Personally it's a little hit and miss as I think i do usually better...They have a few choices in the Station,which is my fave in terms of vibe

 

[marshbrewer]

The station it is then! In fact, work is done for the day, and it's pint o clock.

Cheers for the info @avshipscat - just had a few nice pints of cask in the station.
