The Bartons Arms Review

A palatial Birmingham landmark and one of the most spectacular examples of grandiose pub architecture in the land, the Bartons Arms was built in 1901 and for years had a strong association with the Aston Hippodrome (once the Midlands' prime variety venue). In its hey-day the pub was surrounded by Victorian terraces and barrel-stillaging areas; times have changed, but it still boasts many fine features notably its neo-Jacobean clock tower, stained glass windows, decorative fireplaces, snob screens and fabulous wall-to-wall Minton Hollins tiles.

Following a period in the doldrums, it was bought by Oakham Ales in 2002 and is now enjoying a real renaissance.
