I’m putting together a map of Birmingham’s pubs and bars on Google Maps (for full version click here), mainly for my own amusement and to give me a handy place to decide where to go drinking. I’d love it if anyone else out there wants to put up their local, their favourites, or anywhere that’s worth steering clear of.

I’ve tried my hand at pub blogging before (see here and here), and somehow never managed to stick with it long enough. This is probably down to a combination of laziness, lack of time and a lingering connection to healthy living.

Nevertheless, I’m looking to get back involved, particularly as I’ve moved to a lovely new area of the city (Kings Heath since you ask).

If you want to point out anywhere, here’s how to do it…

1. Make sure you’re logged in with your Google account.

2. Go to the Birmingham pubs map.

3. Enter the name, street name or postcode of the pub/bar you want to add.

4. Make sure you’ve clicked on the one you want, and then click on “save to my maps”, selecting Birmingham Pubs Map from the drop-down box.

5. Change the name or details, add pictures, comments etc as you want, then click OK.

I’m just interested to see where people might recommend with this, as well as make a list of all the places I’ve been to and reviewed. Feel free to put in pictures, links or who you are on the details as well…

Thanks in advance to anyone who points me somewhere good!
