Cask, keg, coffee, cocktails, kitchen. Our pub has been around since 1785 and gone through many changes since then. Welcome to The Ruin.

Our quirky take on an old pub building...

Inspired by the DIY approach of cities like Berlin and Budapest we've put effort rather than expense into a creating place where people can relax and enjoy the basics - good drinks, good food, good company and good music. We've tried to hold on to as much of the past as possible whilst adding a few extra bits here and there to make somewhere which is, if nothing else, different.

Phillip Ray Tommy is a Brummie based actor and stuntman whose work includes films like Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Expend4bles and Gladiator II.

Well now he’s only gone and made his own full-length feature film, shot in and around Birmingham, including lots of Digbeth Digbeth (and even The Ruin).

Lotus is screening this Saturday at The Mockingbird Cinema at 3pm as part of the Forward Film Festival and you really should go. Not only do you get a belter of a movie, you also get 92 minutes of “ooh I know that place” and when it’s over you’re already in the middle of many of the locations. You can have some beers, have some food and still be home early at a reasonable time. Or stay out and make a night of it. You deserve it.

We still haven’t found out what happened to our second floor. In fact, we used to think this was probably another, similar, classic corner pub until we zoomed in on the street signs and saw it was definitely our building. On the second pic you can kind of make out where the wall has been rebuilt above the first floor windows.
