The Hoppy Hopper Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Has anybody got and good recommendations for real ale pubs either near New Street or Villa Park. I normally drive or go on the coach, so am looking forward to a few decent pints at this one as I've booked a train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBarmy Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Doesn't really help as I can't remember the name but there's a belter in middle of Birmingham. Near the bull ring. Might be called Shakespeare... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 The Wellington is a good place - its on Bennetts Hill not too far from New St http://www.thewellingtonrealale.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S13-OWL-B16 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 The Old Joint Stock next the St Philips Cathedral, without a doubt. Great selection and a few minutes walk from New Street Station. Sod all near the ground worth a mention, especially on match day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDY Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 How far is the walk from new street to villa park ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over half an hour through some not very desirable estates... Get a train from new street. If you want to absorb some of the atmosphere get off at Aston and follow the fans the half mile to the ground. If you just want to get to the ground, get off at Witton, 200 metres from the away end.
