Irish Club reopens as The Connaught Bar

The Birmingham Irish Club, which has been given a much needed refurbishment and lick of paint, reopened on Monday as The Connaught Bar.  It seems word got around beforehand because it was packed at lunchtime.  The customers kept the new management (who also manage the Moseley Arms, Ravenhurst Street) on their toes with a rush of orders for pints of Guinness, Irish stew and pots of Barry’s Irish Tea.
