More information on Old Contemptibles

Old Contemptibles, one of the finest pub names in Brum, is a quiet, traditional bar in Victorian style near to St Philip's Cathedral. There are bigger, more popular pubs nearby but few share the relaxed atmosphere of this one, or they've still yet to dispel the whiff of fresh paint. The usual range of Bass ales is served, but guest beers are usually on offer too. Food is cheap and cheerful.
