The Lamp Tavern in Birmingham

Probably the best Guinness in Birmingham.

Sadly, the Landlord Eddie passed away recently. He always kept a great pub running fantastically well and I am certain this will continue to be the case moving into the future. RIP Eddie, I will raise an excellent glass of Guiness to you next time I am in.

very warm and homely only been a few times but made very welcome defo a family run business everyone is so close and friendly

A proper locals pub, decent beer. Note cash only.

Been here a few times, first on recommendation ever since on merit! Friendly little pub, great staff (Especially Eddie the Guvnor) and clientele. As has been mentioned, best Guinness in, well, some distance I'd say, certainly within Birmingham plus a selection of very well kept real ales and decent lagers I'm told although I rarely drink lager, so there's something for everyone. Do find it, try it, I know you won't be disappointed unless you're an absolute pedant! 😂

Guinness was very good. I thought it would be hard to beat the Guinness of The Spotted Dog down the road, but The Lamp Tavern's Guinness was exceptional also, both on par with eachother. £4.90 for a Guinness and cash only. Small, local place, may get a few stares when you initially walk in but it's a sound pub.

Great old fashioned pub with a cracking pint of Guinness

Just a short walk away from the city centre...hubby says best pint of Guinness he has drank in the UK

Some of the nicest Guinness we've had in England this 10 years. A charming spot, while a bit out of the way, worth the walk. The landlord was a gent, barman very civil and clientele in good spirits. If we end up back in Birmingham, it will be a must. Recommend 100%

Cracking pint of Guinness here. Famed for being the best in Birmingham. Small and cosy pub with sports on the tv. Tip: cash only

A true gem of Brum! Beautiful little traditional boozer with the best Guinness in the Midlands - hands down! Reminder to bring cash though as it is cash-only.

Fabulous proper pub with several real ales.

Lovely pub walked in by myself all the locals was inviting lardlord is a nice fella always smiling will be visiting again

Popped in last Saturday afternoon for a couple of pints. Cosy bar with a friendly landlord and locals. Hobsons beer was excellent. Really worth a visit to a traditional pub off the beaten track.

A classic! If you're about enjoying a Guiness in the warm and inviting atmosphere this is the place.

A really great family bar. Very pleasant visit and a lovely Guinness!

The best pint of Guinness in Birmingham.

Good clean and cosy place to drink and chat. Also horse racing on a projector screen. Very nice Irish pub.

It's a good place for chilling with mates for a day out

Absolutely fantastic pub...a hidden gem in Birmingham. The guiness is outstanding as is Eddie the landlord xx

1 of BIRMINGHAM'S forgot about pubs Single handedly run for last 29 years with a excellent mixture of beers with 4 on on cask Worth going out the way for (Cash only !)

Great pub, lovely atmosphere and a wonderfully poured pint.

Very nice Intimating to first go in but worth it. Seems a great spot

One of the best pints of Guinness in Birmingham, & the landlord Eddie is always great craic!

A small and wonderful pub with well kept cask ales.

Hands down the best Guinness in Birmingham! A hidden gem, tucked away behind the main city centre. The landlord is warm and friendly, as is the feel and decor of the bar.

Excellent friendly pub with great beers and a characterful licensee.

Exceptional Guinness. Exceptional landlord. He popped out the back and made some ham and cheese rolls and handed them out for free. The lost art of being a proper landlord. Can't see this boozer lasting beyond the man that runs it so visit when you can.

Fantastic rustic pub, Guinness is superb, would recommend to anyone 👌🏽

Been to Digbeth 4 times and always wanted to find this place. Was worth the wait… guiness from heaven and a great barman!

Outstanding pint of guinness. Old school pub. Very homely. Thoroughly recommend. A must visit.

Lovely gentleman behind the bar Time to chat to all the customers

Best Guinness I’ve had outside of the old country.

Brilliant, original, small old pub. Hearty welcome and excellent Guinness. Busy on a Saturday night. Guinness even better. Heaven

Traditional old style pub, selling well kept beer, and a friendly gaffer. Worth the short walk from the Chinese quarter. 👍

Bar man freind irish man nice little pub

Nice owner. Best pint of Guinness in Birmingham (we were the lads from Bristol)

Me and my son have been drinking Guinness for nearly 15 years. We have been to Dublin, Belfast, Kilkenny, Galway and Cork. I’d like to say we are Guinness connoisseurs. This place serves the best Guinness you’ll have in England. And we have visited many, many places in the UK.

Friendly pub on the outskirts of the city centre.

Really friendly pub with well-kept beer. Do check the opening hours before you visit though!

The best Guinness in Birmingham by a mile, and a great landlord. Authentic as it gets. Cash only

Fabulous place, Eddie is a legend as is the Guinness!

Excellent singing and good service in bar x Martin

Was already closed at 12:15 this afternoon Wednesday.

Don't let the gritty inner city location put you off coming here. NCP round the corner and if you come in the evening, free parking on the street outside. Proper pub. Really great place

A proper pub, the likes of which you don’t see much anymore. I doubt much has changed in there in 40 years (or more), it’s just a friendly landlord that keeps a good stock of real ales, and a regular clientele. Excellent place.

Pub, ale, landlord and clientele all excellent

Great craic to be had with Eddie

Nice venue. Been a few times now

I like the pub a lot good gaffer well keeper ale.

Great to be back here for the first time in over a year

Great pub,good selection of beer.Eddie one the best landlords going.

There aren’t many pubs like this anymore. Never had a bad time here. Eddy is a legend and is alway happy to have a chat whilst he’s pouring a tipple.

Great little Irish pub. Great beer and great snacks. Great!!

Fantastic little pub which has a great selection and quality of beer. Highly recommended!

Great atmosphere and well kept beers. A gem in the heart of.Birmingham

Interesting locals place close to centre of Brum. Small with good beer and plenty of character.

Superb, traditional pub, the likes of which we should cherish. Akin to being in someone's living room in a way. I visited early on a Sunday afternoon, and felt very welcome as a first time visitor. Real ale was kept well, and the locals chatted away and read their newspapers. Lots of Irish paraphernalia as befits the history of the area.

Cracking little local boozer. Cheap. Friendly. What's not to like about it?

They sell Taytos. Lovely people, but TAYTOS.

Great little boozer, with a warm welcome from the landlord. Real ales too.

Great pub nice people and everybody is welcome

The BEST pub in the locality. Imagine someones living room

Best kept ales in Birmingham - a must visit for any serious real ale fan.

Great atmosphere very friendly land Lord

This is a real gem of a pub which is sadly disappearing. Welcoming and cosy with a good selection of real ales.

Like being invited into someone's living room for a beer. Great little pub I'll definitely visit again.

A lovely, quaint and traditional little pub (not many left like this anymore). The landlord is lovely. Definitely recommend

Great beer! Won CAMRA award. It's a tiny place. The only thing dry in here is the landlord's sense of humour.

Eddie and his team are ace. Fantastic, odd, little pub!

Love this little pub. Tiny pub in digbeth run by very nice people and always friendly and welcoming

Cocktails, wine, lafite, and so on are all good. The bartenders are skilled and humorous

Nice little old school public house

A hidden gem in the digbeth area of Birmingham fantastic beer and a warm welcome

Propper old pub. Loved our visit. Small, full of locals but so welcoming. Propper bitters/ales well kept. We stayed for a couple of pints and loved it. The landlord and his family are lovely. Remindes me of my childhood at a local with my parents. The free ham butties for all I to enjoy along with mustard, onions, cheese, pork pie and black pudding being passed around showed traditional pub roots and much Irish charm. Beautiful little pub.

Superb in every aspect. Traditional warm and friendly with excellent beer !

Instead of a warm welcome we were basically told to f off. 0n St Patricks Day we had made the effort to support, as we've been in many times before! We're taking new people in as well! I don't think any of us will bother again! If we'd been told politely they weren't serving now but please come back later then that would'very been no problem! Such a shame!

Remains a true drinkers pub. Good ales, well served.

Always my local when I’m up from London. Eddie is a gent, a legend. Amazing pub, nothing less than 5 stars. Will be back again soon.

Great pub ...old type but welcoming . Eddie the owner ..proper Irish gent ..who brings out crusty sandwiches with killer fresh onion ..a must vist

Great little boxer,and Eddie the gaffer is the perfect host

Excellent pub, good beer great atmosphere, Eddie is super mine host

Nice little snoozer. Regulars very friendly good choice in beer

Good old-fashioned pub - an oasis in industrial area. Home to a great singing and folk club.

Excellent "proper pub". Eddie, the landlord, is friendly and funny. Great beer and spirits selection.

Most excellent boozer. Wonderful beer selection and friendly staff and drinkers

Tiny irish pub. For pub lovers must visit when in bham. Not many pubs like this one left. Travel back in time with pint of perfectly poured Guinness in ur hand. Intensive choice of liqors -_*

Allways a great craic at eddies.great pale ales from a brewery called white horse.and gd doorstep sarnie with bag of scratchings.

Good beer and friendly landlord

Best pub in town. Best Guinness in birmingham.

Great pub should be Birmingham number 1

One of the oldest pubs in Brum, small front room, lare meeting room at the back. Great atmosphere and entertaining Irish host! Well worth a visit! Find it in Barford St.

Genuine friendly pub Great selection of beers and great landlord

Great place, Brilliant Gaffer Eddie!!!

En skjult skatt i Birmingham. Om du liker tradisjonelle puber med sjel og varme!

Best guiness in Birmingham. Eddy is a great landlord.. really homely place and everyone is welcome

Full on. Best boozer in Brunswick. Eddy rules.

Real ale. Great landlord Eddie Frizpatrick.

All comments on this pub, spot on. Great atmosphere. Well recommended.

A step back in time, in a completely brilliant way. People talking to each other, good ales and a friendly welcome.
