It may be Birmingham’s oldest pub, but it’s certainly not to be missed! The Old Crown is the perfect place to catch all of the World Cup action, offering a covered, heated beer garden, street food and a big screen showing all of England’s games. It’s free entry, but it’s worth booking a ticket through their website so that you’re not disappointed on game day.
