I think that was probably another building.
I worked part time at the old Ikon Gallery in John Bright Street in the 90s and there were offices in the Skin Hospital building then, the Birmingham Royal Ballet originally had an office in there.

I can't actually read the article in the link without subscribing, was the bar in the Skin Hospital then? I wouldn't have known that in 2017 as I'd left Birmingham by then.

Not sure when Rosie's closed, it was Pre- 2017 and this article refers to the purchase of the premises for a different Bar by DHP Family
Below is a short quote from the article
"The building, which dates back to the 1880s, used to house bar Rosie O'Briens and was put up for sale earlier this year with a £1.2 million price tag but in June was labelled as 'at risk' by campaign group SAVE Britain's Heritage.

If given the green light, the new bar will join what is becoming one of Birmingham's busiest areas for evening entertainment."
