"Essentially an indoor German Christmas Market with more German and less Christmas. Great beer and huge meals for less than a tenner. Get there before 5pm on a Friday if you want a seat."

"Head here on 17 August 2013 for the Coventry University Clearing Open Day. Lots of friendly staff to help you through the stress of Clearing."

"They have a Starbucks AND a harrier jump jet!"

"Head here on an Open Day for information stands, campus tours and a chat with some lovely ambassadors."

"The only proper pub-type pub on Broad Street. The perfect place for a 3am nightcap after the clubs kick you out. Always full of interesting characters."

"The only place in Birmingham that has a bar AND a library. The Boardroom is a nifty room to hire out: long dining table and closed off from the main pub."
