The January trips continue for the Bus Pass Bandit as our highwayman hero takes another sizeable bite out of the Second City's pub provision...
On his latest visit to Birmingham, the Bandit firstly heads for the Jewellery Quarter and the recently reopened Lord Clifden.
A welcome half of Guinness goes down well and it's good to see the place trading again following a prolonged period of closure.
After a bus ride back into the centre, the next stop is the Roebuck on Church Street, just off Colmore Row.
Here he finds both Guinness and table football, the latter being a rare sight these days!
The Wetherspoons London and North Western at New Street Station is the perfect place to await a rendezvous...
A pint of Stout Brummie from the local Birmingham Brewing Company helps pass the time before the Bandit's merry band of accomplices arrive.
Suitably refreshed, and with everyone assembled, we head towards Colmore Row to investigate 3 establishments converted from former banks. The first of these is Theatrix overlooking Victoria Square and with a Rooftop Bar.
It is more Guinness in here. The two stuffed monkeys downstairs were a great surprise!
Nearby is The Colmore, a stylish venue operated by the Thornbridge Brewery.
The intriguing Fudge Brownie Stout from the North Riding Brewery is a 7.4% indulgence.
The Old Joint Stock is a particularly fine building with magnificent decor and includes a theatre.
Fuller's ESB is a fine drink in here.
A final unexpected stop is at the Flight Club in Temple Street
Is this a horse jumping over a Guinness?
And a dog with unusual headgear?
