Fyne Ales Double or Nothing at the Head of Steam, Birmingham

With a name like that, you’d think the pub would have a big railway theme but the truth is far from it. This place is quiet and cosy during the day but it’s a popular nightspot for groups with its long tables laid out like a beer hall in what is essentially the building’s porch. Above this is a locked drinks cabinet filled with bottles and lights to suggest to patrons what they could drink next. Hidden on top these is a bunch of leather cases which are meant to portray luggage but it’s difficult to see them in dark light. Upstairs is a square bar surrounded with plush seats. Overhead piping is on display to give the impression that steam is passing over us to somewhere useful. One could hope that it’s to vent a fermenter but the beers on sale here are quite interesting.  There’s a further raised area near the window for those who like to be seated in the warm.
