Could anyone recommend a decent pub near the venue for after show drinkies ?
A friend went to see Ray Davies at the Symphony Hall and found that most of the pubs nearby had discos on when they came out from the gig.
Going to see Steve Harley later in the month, too, meeting with friends at the Brasshouse, but again need somewhere for afterwards.
Thanks.

Also walk a little down New Street, on the left next to sandwich bar Eat is a door to the Post office Vaults, six real ales, good pump ciders, and over 150 bottled beers from around the world, plus free bar billiards.

Sorry to correct, David, but on the right going down New St from the Council building. Owned by the same man who runs the Welly. |

I'll be there. I was in Brum today on business. Not a city I know well. I have no idea where anything is, including the venue.  |

There are pedestrian fingerposts on every corner in the centre. If in doubt, navigate on the nearly finished new Central Library, a huge yellow building at the top of town, with curly ironwork on the outside. Symphony Hall is next door on the left. |

The gig is in the Town Hall, not the Symphony Hall. It is a 10 minute rush on foot from one to the other.

That's weird! I swear I posted on this thread this morning but it has disappeared. Anyway, I will be walking from the Premier Inn in Waterloo Street (?) which I am hoping isn't too far away. It seems to be in the vicinity of the Wellington at least.  |

Last August (post-Crops) I got lost on my way to the airport in Brum, driving on the wrong side of the M5 (as you folks do), in the pouring rain. Still, I wish I could come back for Peggy's party. |

Very convenient for the Town Hall: Looking down Waterloo Street from outside the front door of the Premier Inn, you can actually see the Town Hall. A five minute stroll at the most leisurely of paces. And yes, the Wellington is just around the corner. |

The Wellington will be extremely busy being a Friday and it's small size. It's also become a bit expensive of late. The Briar Rose, a decent Wetherspoons is only a few doors down from it and they also have the National beer festival on so plenty of choice for a pound a pint cheaper.

Again I suggest post office vaults - stills bit of a secret. |
