J D Wetherspoon venue in the heart of the Chinese Quarter in the Southside District of Birmingham city centre, next to the Gay Village. Connected to the vibrant Arcadian centre surrounded by bars and restaurants.

The pub has two bars on the same floor with 10 handpulls split across both bars (albeit one is only for app orders). Ale selection for the opposing bar will be visible on the front bar adjacent to hand pulls as well as the JDW Order & Pay App. Note that some of the ciders may not be real.

The pub manager; Kelly has a special offer on at least 1 guest ale every day called 'Kel's Ale' which is currently discounted to £1.99 a pint. The pub offers a 'try before you buy' for all ales, as well a good range of craft cans, guest ciders & good value food.

Named for the traditional Chinese dragon dance.

4 regularly changing guest ales including well known resident guest ales to JDW and local ales from breweries such as Birmingham Brewery, Byatts, Silhill, Salopian, Titanic, Fixed Wheel & Purity
