Title: Decent pub/bar for Sunday
Post by: London Villan on November 08, 2019, 01:54:14 PM: Looking for suggestions for a lunch/drinks venue to watch the game. Decent food, female friendly, Central Brum.

Cheers!

The Lord Clifden, The Rose Villa, The Church are all decent food and a drink pubs.

The Windsor, The Trocadero, The Gosta, The Crown (by the law courts) all show matches. All quite central. Not Central but most pubs in Sutton will have it on.and will be Villa friendly. Train from New St. drops you in the town centre.

I hope not. It's great the way it is. Spent some happy times there. In the summer that beer garden is ace.

The Lord Clifden has changed ownership and although the beer/lager selection didn’t look as though it had altered the menu certainly had and in my opinion to its detriment. Also all the staff seemed to be different which is a shame as they were a great crowd previously.

Thanks for the suggestions.
