Halesowen landlord Chris Gormley has left the Olde Queen's Head after establishing it as a regular live music venue.
Chris is joining forces with John Marshall to run Benjamins where he will continue organising events.
The Old Queen's head, Birmingham Street, closed its doors on November 11 with a farewell gig by Slowburner.
Chris said: "We are limited by the size and shape of the Old Queen's Head, but Benjamins is ideal, with a capacity of over 400 in the function room and 300 in the bar, and unhindered views of stages."
There will be regular Thursday open mic nights and gigs by named acts.
Bandy Koot will perform at Benjamins on Friday November 17, with the Micky Kemp band appearing on Saturday November 18.
