Peaky Blinder

Sara moons used to be my Friday afternoon b4 bingo pub. Then we tried karaōke at confessions where my group Gud 4 de Soul used to meet on Friday’s.now its Pesky Blinders and i pop in 4 karaōke at times. A but if karaōke b4 bed, So strong and livin years a few years, a few memories with friends and fans

A gritty and dated pub which is themed and dedicated to the famous Small Heath, Birmingham gang called the Peaky Blinders. Some of the dregs of society drink here as well as ‘normal people’ however i loved this place as everyone was friendly and it almost felt like you belonged there as part of a gang member. Drinks are cheap and there is karaōke with a great atmosphere. Me and my good friend dressed for the occasion with our flat caps, braces and shirts and we were like celebrities with many random people taking photos with us. Black and white Peaky Blinder photos on the walls with flat caps. Bar staff wear the caps too. It was a great night and i shall return here in my Peaky gear. I recommend visiting this place to try something different and sample a bit of Birmingham history in the form of an old pub.

This is most likely going to be my last review in the UK for some time as I return to my native land later this week.
I therefore had to give this place a try before I left — especially being a fan of The Peaky Blinders.
I had passed by this place a few times when it was known as Confessions and it never really enticed me in. So, this time I was more hopeful!
Stepping through the door your attention is drawn to the friendly looking bar tender dressed in (roughly) Peaky Blinder style hat. The next thing I noticed was a mannequin also dressed (roughly) Peaky Blinder style. Now for some the mannequins could be considered bizarre, I however am from a small town which considers one of its prime tourist attractions to be a shop decorated with very bizarre looking mannequins!
There are a few more of these mannequins type things around the place adorned with a flat cap, and accompanied by instructions not to touch and that offenders will be instructed to leave!
The bar area itself is one average size room, it was relatively clean and populated by older gentlemen of varying mental capacity. There was at least one sat alone having a full conversation with himself.
The bar itself had nothing special to offer, just the usual bulk items, Carling, Strongbow (original and forest fruits) and Guinness. A simple selection of bottles were stocked in the fridges, the best of which seemed to be bottles of Magners.
As for the «Peaky Blinder» theme. Well, I was pretty disappointed. This clearly just an attempt to cash in on the show, with very little actual connection. A few cap clad mannequin’s and few pictures on the wall which seem to be screen grabs from the show.
So much more could be made of the theme which would no doubt attract loyal fans.
This place just doesn’t cut it as a themed venue. Its an OK pub but that’s about all it is.
