McDwyers - Sparkhill
79, Warwick Rd, Sparkhill, Birmingham, West Midlands, B11 4RD

Remember this from 20+ years ago,but the name at the time slips my mind.
It became a Banks pub,unusual in the 1980s,but no doubt good for trade.
Given the state of the pubs in the area it's done well to survive.

Its "The Sportsman" the only pub in Birmingham where the throw to the dartboard was uphill. Back in the 40's and 50's most of the clientèle were mad Jocks including two of my uncles and they didn't come much madder. It had a name as a very rough house back then.

Mind you I can only go by what I was told because in the 60's it was very respectable.
