Website

Formerly the Brighthouse. It has a smart appearance with images of the railway (it is opposite New Street Station) on the walls. Five handpulls on the main bar (Hill St side) serving national brands, and four more on the other bar (John Bright St side). Not all in use.

As of June 2026 the handpumps remain, but actual availability of cask looks to be over.
