The Old Contemptibles

Description

Just a short stroll from the Colmore Business District in Birmingham City Centre is traditional yet glamorous pub The Old Contemptibles. With a name that honour's First World War heroes, you can already tell that The Old Contemptibles has a unique, thoughtful and modest shine to it. There's nothing fancy schmancy about this place, but you're bound to be dazzled by its Victorian air and subtly decorative stance. From high windows and ceilings to arched panels, you'll be comfortably transported back in time thanks to this charming pub. 

Visited by both Birmingham's young and mature, The Old Contemptibles has an air of pub chic inviting to nearly all ages ranges, with drinks tastings, live music and comedy nights. One of the other great things about the atmosphere in The Old Contemptibles is that it's made by the people that frequent it. The chat is on in this pub that lives for hearty conversations and even heartier laughs. Serving hearty cask ales and traditional pub grub, The Old Contemptibles remain with their roots.
