The Bristol Pear

What they say

The closest pub to Selly Oak train station, and a great venue to while away some time waiting for your train. An 'It's A Scream' venue, this is the Mini-Me version of the Gun Barrels - which is situated at the other end of Selly Oak -, with a larger-than-life atmosphere generated by the largely student crowd who can take advantage of the numerous drinks offers. There's special events held in the large 'no frills' upstairs room, ranging from comedy to goth nights, and all-in-all this boozer offers a lot more than most other watering-holes in Selly.

What we think:
This is one of the smaller bars in Selly Oak, but still manages to make a large impression. Drinks offers here can be great and there is a relatively large selection. There's a chilled out atmosphere during the day although there tends to still be a few people drinking here. Only having a small selection of tables makes it feel quite personal and service is generally fast. Food is served during the day, is resonably priced and served quickly. Later this is another bar in Selly Oak which fills out with students and can get crowded. It's a nice place to go to with freinds and is very sociable. Definately a great end to a great bar crawl!
