If it's the City Centre you're after, most pubs are shit.

But, two good ones here

And

Only go the The Wellington if you have a penchant for smelly, socially inept men. Actually the same applies to The Bartons.

Wellington
The Old Contemptibles
Barton Arms
Aston Social

Does that sound like a good tour?

Alternatively, if you prefer the harder stuff, pop into the Coral bookies on Bull Street and Chris will furnish you with some iproniazid or Prozac.

I don't think we've ever denied it Chris :) though I'm glad you've not included the females of this parish who attend the Bartons :), though how they put up with us is another matter?

Anyhow one more possibility in town, the Shakespeare on Lower Temple Street is now run by the same outfit that have the Old Contemptibles  http://www.nicholsonspubs.co.uk/theshakespearelowertemplestreetbirmingham/ so there is now decent beer there as well.   I was going to say  Edmonds is alright just over Colmore Row and down Newhall Street when you come away from the Wellington,  http://www.edmundsbar.co.uk/index.php, but looking at the website It's not clear whether it's open on Sunday's (so It's probably not).  It's a wine bar (spit, spit) but does serve Real Ale and can be useful neutral territory for meeting "The unconverted" (larger drinkers :))).

The Wellington really suffered from the smoking ban. The layer of cigarette smoke firmly masked the pungent mixture of B.O. and ale-infused guffs, but now there is no protection.
