The Prince of Wales in Birmingham

Oh, let me tell you about The Prince of Wales; it's one of those pubs that just hits the spot every time. From the reviews I've had a look at, the beer selection is spot on – they've got this brilliant range of real ales and ciders that really stand out, and it's clear folks are chuffed with what they try. The staff are an absolute delight, always up for a chat and knowing their stuff about the drinks, which makes the whole experience that bit more enjoyable. It's got this welcoming buzz about it, even on off-peak days, and everything's kept so tidy and fresh, like they've put real effort into making it feel homely. Being so close to the city centre is a bonus too; it's perfect for popping in after a wander around. On the downside, I had a bit of bother with their website – it didn't load properly for me, so you might need to rely on other sources for the latest info. And the opening times seem a tad muddled in places, which could catch you out if you're planning ahead. All in all, though, it's a solid choice for anyone after a genuine pub feel, with more ups than downs based on what people are saying.
