About Us

The Pub

Built in 1862 in the heart of Birmingham City Centre by architect Julius Alfred Chatwin, the establishment was originally designed as a library, for the St Philip's church across the road, before becoming the Birmingham Joint Stock Bank. Lloyds Banks, then took ownership of the premises in 1889 - the very same year as Birmingham received official City status.

More than a century later, the Grade II listed building is now The Old Joint Stock and a stunning pub with its own modern studio theatre, making a wonderful feature of the original fixtures and fittings in its main bar and function rooms. One of the best pubs in Birmingham and beyond, it is the UK's highest seller of London Pride!



The Theatre

As well as our beautiful bar, we are also home to a professional 80 seat black box studio theatre, founded in 2006 on our second floor.

The Old Joint Stock Theatre has a variety of productions all year round, with a mix of in-house productions, co-productions and visiting companies. If you love fringe theatre you will love the experience at the Old Joint Stock Theatre. Our programme of shows is always busy and features everything from new writing, musical theatre, improv comedy, and more!
