The Craven Arms
"The Craven Arms is a majestic example of British pub history. Located just a short distance from New Street Station in Birmingham city centre, its two cosy log fires and sensitively refurbished interior provide a refreshing change from city bars. The exterior, with its blue and gold Majolica tiling was the pride of Holder’s Brewery which originally owned the building. This multiple CAMRA award winner boasts an impressive collection of 10 hand pumps with 7 ever-changing guest ales, and 2 cider pulls."

A real rarity, a traditional pub with a real atmosphere & background music. A really good selection of real ales, not that I'm an expert but that is the majority on offer. Reasonable selection of lager for the non purists like Me!!Service: 5/5
This was a great pub. Can see why Camra rate it so highly. Great beer, well served and wonderful friendly and engaging staff. Bit of a trek to get to but well worth it. The mild was sublime.Service: 5/5
I LOVE this pub! Stumbled across it when visiting Birmingham for a gig and ALWAYS go there whenever I'm there l, back again on 16th Oct. Proper pub! Full of character l from the carpet and wallpaper/style to the frosted windows. Freshly made cobs served with condiments, delicious pork pies l, choice of filling and scotch eggs. I'm from Bristol and they also have a better choice of boxed cider on tap than most "trendy" pubs. Honestly my favourite lik' pub and I take every opportunity to visit it! Cannot recommend enough!
OMG what a wonderful place. Libby was very informative about the building which btw is a treat to the eyes. And is family run Fabulous range of ales. I would highly recommend this place. Please go and support them.
Great selection of real beer from local breweries, plus ciders and a decent keg selection Didn't try the cobs or pork pie, maybe next time Very friendly staff - just how pubs should beService: 5/5
Went in with a group for a place to be able to enjoy a drink and talk. It's a great blend of proper pub and modern touches. Really nice atmosphere, plenty of hand pulled beer, pork pie and rolls, and screens with the range of food and drink offers. Will be back if in the area!Service: 5/5
This used to be a premium, award winning beer specialist pub. But that must of been a long time ago. Now it's a solid pub not far from The Mailbox, which would normally mean it's prices are expensive. It isn't. It's a fine, traditional pub with great decor and good beer. I give it extra star for having a couple of pub cats Every pub should have a pub cat.
Proper pub with proper beer! An absolute god send for a beer drinker staying at iBis Budget in Birmingham. Lovely old style pub with an amazing selection of ales in draft and a very friendly barman. Didn't really get to speak with any of the locals as they were all doing their own things whilst I was alone but it didn't really spoil the experience as the bar and beers were so great. Did speak to some ex locals who were in the rail industry and lovely people. Definitely recommend it if you are into ales or nearby, especially the Black Country ales beers which were all absolutely outstanding.
Superb pub selling some great real ales in an old traditional feeling pub. Bar staff friendly - well worth hunting out for as a tiny bit out of way from the usual City Centre pubs.Service: 5/5
Superb old boozer and its a thing of beauty.. My favourite of the 8 pubs we visited. Great selection of ales and a brilliant pint of Guinness. Have to give a callout to the barmaid working on her own on 10th Nov. Pub was busy but she was doing a superb job and was very friendly.
