I like a good no nonsense boozer and The Fountain Inn is exactly that. I’ve only been a couple of times but I swear both times the same people were sat in exactly the same places drinking exactly the same drinks. When you go in you feel like you’ve stumbled across a secret meeting place. It really is just an old Irish pub for locals but there was no frosty reception for an outsider and the bar staff were lovely. Nice n’ cheap prices too. Definitely a good place for a quiet pint in Digbeth. P.S Don’t mistake it for the gay bar in Highgate, you could be extremely disappointed/angry!
