The Old Joint Stock Pub & Theatre, Birmingham

Great place to have have a enjoy the company of friends over a few drinks. I found the place amazing from architectural point of view. Great building indeed!

Very good pub, restaurant and the unusual addition of a theatre. The interior architecture is stunning and reminds one of a majestic 19th century bank. Some interesting photos and pictures on the walls relating to the history of the building and the local vicinity. I didn't eat on this occasion, but on previous visits have enjoyed the wonderful pies. A great pub especially in the colder months. Quite disappointed with today's visit. A rugby scrum at the bar, ordered a drink and went to pay: card only! Why? I withdrew cash for tonight's entertainment. Ordered the drink, freezing cold and nearly £7 per pint! Probably look elsewhere in future. I thought I'd give this historic one another try. £6.60 freezing cold IPA and no cash allowed. Annoying, because I withdrew cash to spend Won't return

What a great place to meet and have a drink. It fully deserves a five star for its staff the ambience the interior. The South African guy was really friendly, sorry I forgot your name All staff are high quality friendly and helpful. There is a drawback though the prices of the Ales are scandalous and for the pricing it is fully deserving of a 1*. For everything else it deserves 5*. There is a limited menu and the food looks good. The seats and tables are plentiful and very comfortable too. With a garden at the rear The decor is really old and picturesque in keeping with it's old style look and feel from the outside There is an amazing choice of drinks. The choice of Both Fuller Ales and guest ales is brilliant. A must visit if you want a great choice of drinks, ales and ambiance. I had never been here before and really enjoyed my visit. I am sure I will visit again but at the prices they charge it will be very infrequently for sure which is a shame.

An amazing show of Send in the Clowns: Hey Big Bender in the theatre. Fantastic vocals, great comedy, brilliant drag. Little concerned that the venue admitted such a drunk group of older women with flashing headbands who talked through the whole of the first half. Once they were ejected you could see the performers relax and enjoy performing.

What an amazing location, wow: you can really get into their culture thanks to this restaurant, a real english pub! They are serving traditional pies, you should try them! Good red wines available.
