Scruffy Murphy's in Birmingham

Oh, mate, let me tell you about Scruffy Murphy's – it's one of those pubs in Birmingham that really captures the spirit of the place, with its rock roots and lively vibe. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the beer is absolutely top drawer; folks rave about the Guinness and how it's a quick, affordable option for a proper pint. The staff are gems, always up for a chat and making everyone feel welcome, which is just what you want after a long day. That rock music and the jukebox add such a fun touch, transporting you back to the good old days of Birmingham's music scene, and it's all kept spick and span, which is a nice bonus. On the flip side, though, some have mentioned the drinks aren't as cheap as you'd hope – that £8.90 for a pint and a half stings a bit! And watch out for it getting a tad too toasty inside; it can feel like a sauna on warmer evenings, which might cut your night short. All in all, it's a solid spot for a pint and some tunes, but go in with realistic expectations, and you'll have a brilliant time.
