Oh I like this one!
I guess 'Hard' as regards a pub is subjective.
I knew a few that could lay claim to such a title.

GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN
The website talks a lot about The Monkey House in Nechells, which has been mentioned here before. That must have been a lovely place!
I remember going into The Costermonger in town some years back, eldest son was going to see a group and I needed a pee. Five minutes later I left, dragging son out with me, some unsavoury characters used that bar!

Perhaps not 'hard' but very quiet.
I was just having a phone conversation with my exhusband and we were discussing the 1960s.
He told me that when he worked on the buses he was passing the little pub on the corner of Cato Street(can't remember the name)when a music machine/jukebox type thing was thrown into the road in front of him.
The pub had decided to introduce music as part of the service but a couple of the regulars objected.

I don't blame them, I heard it was all over a 'Freddie and the Dreamers' track..I'd have done no less.

Saving on firewood, presumably.
I've heard tales of the Monkey House, too. None of them good.
