This imposing building was formerly Solihull's Council House, then converted to a Lloyds Bar/JD Wetherspoons pub, but was sold to Stonegate in 2016. It has now been rebranded as a Yates pub; several handpumps have been removed, and it now stocks mainstream Greene King and Marston's beers (IPA, Abbot, Hobgoblin). There is a second bar upstairs, with high ceilings, pleasant decor and windows looking out over Poplar Road; there is a dance floor and a disco on Friday and Saturday nights.
