Post Office Vaults in Birmingham

Ah, Post Office Vaults – it's one of those places that really stands out as a gem in Birmingham's bustling scene, especially if you're into your beers. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, most folks absolutely rave about the wide array of ales and ciders; you've got regulars like Kinver First Class Stamp and a rotating selection of guests that keep things fresh and exciting. It's that kind of spot where you can dive into everything from crisp lagers to rich stouts, and the fact that it's an independent freehouse adds a nice, authentic touch. The location is spot on too, tucked away but easy to find near New Street, making it ideal for a quick stop or a longer session with mates. On the flip side, it's a bit of a shame they don't offer food, so you might end up nipping out for a Greggs pasty or something to pair with your drink, but hey, at least they make it easy to bring your own. From the reviews, it seems like the vibe is generally warm and inviting, with people appreciating the old-school charm and the option to make it your own – though there was that one instance where a group felt a bit unwelcome due to age checks, which is fair enough for a pub, but it does highlight that it's not always smooth sailing. Overall, it's got a solid 4.4 rating, which speaks volumes, and I'd say it's well worth a visit if you're after a proper pint in a relaxed setting, just keep those little niggles in mind for a balanced night out.
