Birmingham City Centre:

“Utopia the Country Bar in the City”

I wasn’t seeing what was “country bar” about this at all, and it was a bit questionable about “pub”, but it scraped in.

It was quite nice, to be honest. We dropped in here in desperation as we needed lunch and had mistimed our arrival in the city with everyone else’s lunchtime, and here had space. As it was, the staff were great, be beer OK, and the wine good, and our lunch was very good and surprisingly cheap for the “business district”, and while it wasn’t remotely country, it was comfortable enough.
