Where To Go For Beers In Birmingham?
Discussion
Some nice bars near the Cathedral by Colmore Row as well that tend to be frequented by the business types in the city.

Old Joint Stock is an impressive pub (converted bank) and its Jazz night on Weds too

There's a little club called the Yardbird right by Paradise Place (NE end of Broad street). Nice place to go for a few drinks - a good atmosphere, and usually some good live music on Thursday/Friday/Saturdays.
If you're after a nice pub with some good beers, there's an excellent place on Bennetts Hill called the Wellington, which has 15 real ales on tap, all on the go at once. Make sure you go to that Wellington though, and not the one further out of town.

Another vote the Old Joint Stock - good beer and a really interesting building - its on Temple Row West
And another vote here 
You're not that close from the NEC tho (8 miles ish) I'm guessing you will be getting the train into Brum?
As it is Metallica you are going to see (I'm guessing
) Then I'd recommend Scruffy Murphys is located in Dale End in the City Centre, just down the road from the Academy. But they close at 11pm
It has been a while since I last went to a rock club in Brum - it used to be the Costermongers (pub Oasis), Eddie's No8 (club but burnt down, not sure if rebuilt yet - no info on Google), the Gallows (pub under Eddie's) or XLs (club @ 5 Ways - in the shopping centre at the end of Broad Street).
have a good time

Another vote for the welly. Always drop in there for a few ales before heading on (usally to the jam house). Mailbox is nice and if the weathers good you can go out the back and sit on the cut for a drink!
oh yes! the Jam House...! nearly forgot about that one.. excellent when its Soul nite!Hi, just my ha'pth worth...
http://www.scruffymurphys.co.uk/ - I second this
http://www.subsidebar.com/ - bit of a toilet, but it's ok (not as bad as Costers - which whilst it has loyal patrons, I've found it too rank for words - I'm pretty sure that it's reopened now).
http://www.eddiesrocks.com/about.php - Never went went it was No. 8 and haven't been since it reopened either, but might be of interest
Quite like:
http://www.bar-island.co.uk/ - not too far from the train station
REALLY REALLY close to the train station (same road, about 7 shop fronts away) is the Sunflower Lounge, can't find a website though so this will have to do: http://www.myvillage.com/birmingham/places/1708-th...
