An old Birmingham rock pub has been given a new lease of life, undergoing a refurbishment that includes one huge new feature.<\/p>\n
Scruffy Murphy’s in Dale End has been serving beers to a soundtrack of rock and roll since 2001 and its new renovation makes it look like Birmingham’s answer to the Hard Rock Cafe, with memorabilia on the walls and nods to musical icons including Birmingham’s own Ozzy Osbourne.<\/p>\n
There’s also a photo of Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi in which he’s standing outside the pub in the flesh.<\/p>\n
