  • Outstanding pub conversion

City centre bar converted from a former bank in a Grade II listed building. Previous winner of CAMRA's Pub Design Awards. The large main bar combines plenty of leather and wood, with booth seating available. Toilets are downstairs, as is a pool table. As a Thornbridge tap, most beers are from their range, but they also serve beers from notable breweries from across the UK. Bottled and canned beers also available. Milanese-style pizzas are made on-site(with gluten-free and vegetarian options), as well as the usual bar snacks available.

Conversion

Thornbridge joined with Pivovar to convert an early C20 building in Edwardian Baroque style that was latterly a bank. Grade II listed, it has a marble frieze and a ceiling with green brick-shaped tiles below, three-quarter height panelling and ceiling brackets. Full height glazed screens form two separate rooms. The conversion had been done with care and class, including quality bar fittings.
