The Old Moseley Arms in Birmingham

Ah, The Old Moseley Arms – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a warm hug when you walk in, especially if you're after a solid traditional spot in Birmingham. I love how they've nailed the real ales; the range is brilliant and always well-kept, with options like Bathams and Enville that really hit the spot. Pair that with some superb Indian food that's both flavoursome and affordable, and you've got a winning combo for a great night out. The staff go above and beyond to make you feel welcome, and the comfy seating adds to that relaxed, homely feel – it's ideal for chatting over a few drinks. On the flip side, it's a shame there's no website to quickly check menus or times, so you might end up winging it a bit. And while the spot in Balsall Heath has its charm, it could be a trek for some folks. All in all, it's a fantastic place if you're up for good beer, hearty food, and a bit of that old-school pub magic – I'd say give it a go if you're in the area.
