Grade II listed Victorian pub with handcrafted pies and a studio theatre in a converted bank.
The Old Joint Stock
The Old Joint Stock is a historic Fuller’s pub housed in a striking Grade II listed building that once served as the Birmingham Joint Stock Bank. The ornate Victorian interior retains original features including a central glass dome and a homely balcony overlooking the central island bar. The menu specialises in handcrafted pies alongside traditional pub classics, with fresh ingredients delivered daily. The pub pairs this with cask ales and a full bar selection, and regularly hosts theatre productions ranging from new writing to comedy and musical theatre on its second floor.

FAQ
Is The Old Joint Stock suitable for children?
The venue is primarily an adult pub and is listed as 18 and older, so it is best suited to adults. Age restrictions may also vary for individual theatre performances, so it is worth checking the specific show details before booking.
When is the best time to visit to avoid the crowds?
Early evenings on weekdays are generally the quietest time to enjoy both the pub and theatre comfortably. Weekends and post-show periods tend to be busier, as the venue is a popular city-centre spot.
Is there a dress code?
There is no formal dress code, the atmosphere is described as casual and welcoming. Smart-casual attire is a sensible choice, especially if you are attending a theatre performance upstairs.
Do I need to book a table or can I just walk in?
Walk-ins are welcome in the pub, but reservations are accepted and recommended, particularly for dining or theatre shows. Theatre tickets should be booked in advance through the official website, as the studio holds fewer than 100 seats.
How accessible is the venue for people with mobility needs?
The pub has a wheelchair-accessible entrance, lift, and accessible toilets, though note there are steps at the main entrance and the heavy doors may require assistance. The theatre is on the second floor, so visitors with specific access needs should consult the venue's detailed AccessAble guide before visiting.
How do I get there, and is there parking nearby?
The venue has no on-site car park, but a public car park is within approximately 200 metres, and Blue Badge parking is available nearby. By public transport, Snow Hill station is just a few hundred metres away, with Birmingham New Street and Moor Street stations also close by, and multiple bus stops within 150 metres.
What can I eat and drink there, and roughly how much will it cost?
The menu focuses on refined British pub classics, including the venue's signature handcrafted pies, made from fresh seasonal ingredients, with vegetarian and vegan options also available. Budget roughly £22-£45 per person for food and drinks, and note that some visitors have flagged that drink prices lean on the higher side for Birmingham.
