About This Pub
Ah, Kings Oak in Birmingham – it's one of those neighbourhood spots that just feels like a proper local haunt, you know? From the reviews I've had a look at, the new owners have really stepped up, turning things around with tasty pints and a much friendlier atmosphere that's drawn in a nicer crowd. It's inexpensive, which is brilliant for us who fancy a few rounds without worrying about the wallet, and if you're into footie, having Sky Sports on makes it a top choice for match days. On the flip side, it's a shame there's no real ale, as that might put off some of the more discerning drinkers out there. Plus, with not much buzz lately, it could be a bit hit or miss if you're after something buzzing or fresh. All in all, it's a solid pick for a laid-back evening with mates, but it's worth going in with realistic expectations to enjoy what it does best.

New owners are fabulous, nice tasting pint (we haven't had that for a while) clientele has gone up market since the trouble maker been barred
Really liked this place, drank here in 2012 and had a lovely evening with my mate Stephen.
Great local boozer, friendly and welcoming staff, good beer and reasonably priced, all in all a lovely little pub with a friendly atmosphere, 👍🏻 🍺🍺🍺
I think some of the opinions and reviews about this place are really unfair. Lived around the area for nearly a year and wouldn't step foot in here. When I did I was pleasantly surprised. it's a locals pub, but all are friendly and staff have good control of bar and custom. beer and cider are good, shorts - a basic range but considering the size of the place, perfectly reasonable and good choice on tap. Only advice would be to do something a bit more with the back room. Good weekend entertainment too.
Quite friendly for a suburban pub, but no real ale. Has Sky Sports on large TV screen for the football.
