The Square Peg - JD Wetherspoon

You know exactly what you're getting when you walk through those doors on Corporation Street. This massive Spoons sits right in the heart of the city centre, and it's properly busy from breakfast through to last orders. The building itself has that familiar Wetherspoons grandeur - high ceilings, dark wood, and enough space to seat what feels like half of Birmingham. The beer's cheap, the breakfast runs until noon, and you'll find everyone from office workers grabbing a quick pint to shoppers refueling between Primark runs. It's not going to win any awards for innovation, but when you want a reliable £2.50 pint and a decent curry club on Thursday, it absolutely delivers. The staff move at pace despite the constant crowds, and the app ordering system keeps things moving even when it's rammed.
