Name of Pub
The Bartons Arms
Short Description
Purchased in 2002 by Oakham Ales, revelling in the challenge of its uniqueness and spotting the opportunity and timing ro resurrect one of the greatest pubs in the country. A team of tradesmen, craftsmen and cleaners, owners, management and staff have returned the Bartons to its former greatness.
Oakham lead the field in contemporary tastes of real ales, and the Bartons now boasts at last a package of their award winning beers (JHB, Bishops Farewell, and White Dwarf permentlly plus seasonal brews), guest ales from across the country, probably the best range of imported bottled beers in Birmingham, and of course, one of the fastest growing cuisine styles, Thai food from an extensive menu pepared by real Thai chefs. Now, as Birmingham promotes itself as one of Europe's finest Cities, it is a 'must go' for the Midlands diner, drinker, pub-lover and 20 million plus business and tourist visitors to Birmingham.
Long Description
Built in 1901 it is one of the finest examples of Victorian pub architecture with one of the most beautiful pub interiors in the country. Designed to be the flagship of the Mitchell's and Butler brewery estate. The interior is the epitome of Victorian decorative grandeur.
In its hey-day the Bartons was surrounded by Victorian terraces and the huge cellars and barrel stillaging areas are testament to the vast quantities of ale consumed by those flooding through its busy doors. It is famed for its long association with the Aston Hippodrome, once the Midland's premier Variety theatre, whose visitors and stars such as Laurel and Hardy, Enrico Caruso, Marie Lloyd and Charlie Chaplin drank and lodged at the Bartons Arms. A simple local worker from the area could have felt like lord of the manor for the price of a pint in such surroundings and company.
Purchased in 2002 by Oakham Ales the Bartons now boasts at last a package of their award winning beers, guest ales from across the country, probably the best range of imported bottled beers in Birmingham, and of course, one of the fastest growing cuisine styles, Thai food from an extensive menu pepared by real Thai chefs.
