Currently installed in the Post Office Vaults, New St, Brum. Quite a hellfire boozer: 8x ales on hand pump, 13x draught ciders and an insane range of foreign bottled ale (more than 200). No food, but they provide plates so you can bring your own. Well worth a visit!

The landlord used to run a great pub called The Stag in Bloxwich before it was bulldozed to make way for new housing. The Post Office Vaults is a little too cosy for my liking. I would rather climb over people to get to the bar in the Wellington, although trying to fit through the door to the gents toilets is probably the best advert for drinking less alcohol.

The Post Office Vaults is that little bit closer to New Street station Navigation Street entrance though for those extra minutes of drinking time before the last train :P

What is amusing in there is when people come into the pub via the entrance past the ladies toilet, they then go to the bar, followed by thinking "its a bit crowded, we'll try upstairs", then finding upstairs is infact just a door onto New Street...

...and also when people come in from the New Street entrance not realising there is a Navigation Street entrance and wondering why so many men are heading for the Ladies toilet...

Heard good reports of the Post Office vaults. I'm told Belgian belgian beers are a speciality- that's me missing a train or two then.

Also enjoyed finding the Victoria recently. There are some crackin pubs in Brum housed in fantastic buildings- Vic, OJS, Bartons Arms, old Contemptibles etc.

Just don't fall asleep on the last train home and end up in Stoke like I did the last time I sampled the Post Office Vaults!!

Bartons is a fantastic pub, just take your flak jacket for waiting at the bus stop on Newtown Row...
