The Old Crown

Details

With its striking black-and-white timber frame, The Old Crown proudly stands as Birmingham's oldest secular building, with parts of the structure dating back to 1368. Originally a guildhall, it has witnessed centuries of Birmingham's evolution, even surviving the English Civil War and later threats of demolition. Queen Elizabeth I is rumoured to have stayed here in 1575. Today, this Grade II* listed inn in the heart of the Digbeth creative quarter offers a warm welcome, blending its rich history with a vibrant contemporary atmosphere. It’s a true slice of Brummie history, where you can soak in tales of the past while enjoying modern hospitality.

Inside, you'll find a cosy, multi-room pub with traditional décor and exposed wooden beams, creating an inviting and genuinely welcoming feel. The Old Crown is renowned for its hearty pub grub, serving classic British fare with a contemporary twist, including popular Sunday roasts and gourmet burgers. Outside, the large, award-nominated beer garden provides a fantastic "Digbeth suntrap," perfect for relaxing with a selection of real ales, including local Purity brews. Regular live music, quiz nights, and themed events make it a lively hub for both locals and visitors exploring Birmingham’s vibrant cultural scene.
