Joule’s Brewery is asking the public to support its plans to give the New Inn, Harborne, a new look costing more than £2 million.
The brewery has submitted a plan to Birmingham Council to refurbish the public house, with a side extension and associated works. The application can be viewed here.
This follows a 12-month consultation with local people, culminating in an event in January where people were able to views plans.
At the heart of our vision are the beautifully preserved Victorian parlour rooms, the old snugs, which will remain untouched, offering a quiet space for a peaceful pint, a game of dominoes, or simply a moment to read the paper,” says the brewer.
“The main bar area on the Vivian Road side will be refreshed to create a relaxed and informal space, perfect for casual dining and gatherings over sharing plates and grazing boards. We know how much the community loves the old bar, and we’re keeping it just as it is — it’s a firm favourite among regulars, and we wouldn’t dream of changing it.
“A new garden room and covered terrace will extend from the bar, designed with reclaimed brick and classic Joule’s features to create a characterful space for group dining and social occasions. Beyond this, the new beer garden will be one of area’s best, a welcoming and social space, perfect for long afternoons with friends over a few pints of Joule’s.”
