The 16 best bars and drinks in Redditch

A delicious Sunday Roast I had with my Family in Birmingham yesterday, I really enjoyed it, definitely worth visiting and very friendly Staff too! 😋 🍽 🍺

Go to ‘halfway between us’ for lunch with good friend. Jenni always looks after us superbly- they should bottle her energy! Great choice of dishes that never disappoint. Lovely decor. Amazing nursery down the road if you like plants. Recommend!

The Boot at Mappleborough Green, fantastic. From the service to the food, everything was perfect. Presentation of the dishes is impressive and really does grab your attention as it lands in front of you! Haven't visited this venue for two years, they only seem to get better and better. Situated on the corner of a rather busy main road, you wouldn't even know! It's dead quiet inside and makes for a excellent uninterrupted experience. Thanks to the team at the boot, I look forward to visiting again.

We were served by Jodie and it was above and beyond - WOW - out of this world service and food. Definitely will be returning. Thank you Jodie!

We ordered a sharer platter with mixed meats. Very weak presented and delicious food. The service was friendly and there was a cosy atmosphere in the pub.

Recently visited for a supplier meal. Lovely food and great service!

An absolute Gem! Beautiful place, surroundings & atmosphere! Food was the freshest & tastiest we have had in a long while & we have been to everyone of the surrounding restaurants within a 10 mile radius. Service was excellent!

This was our third visit but a couple of years since the last. We booked a table in the bar which was ready for us on arrival. We ordered drinks at the table and went through the menu. The menu for us is a sensible size - enough choice without it being a book! The prices look reasonable at first glance but you need to add the prices for sides as they are required - not an added extra - for example my battered fish doesn’t come with chips so you need to order the side dish of chips together your ‘fish and chips’. We ordered the duck croquette and dressed crab as starters. Both were really tasty but the crab was very small and came with a very hard bread. For mains I had the fish with the chips side and my wife the monkfish with carrots as a side. The monkfish was over cooked but otherwise food was fine but even when you pay for the sides it feels like a small portion. They do recommend 3 sides between 2 people which is probably correct but this could be £17/18 extra. So overall food was good and enjoyed the atmosphere and decoration in the pub but felt it was slightly poor on value

We discovered a local treasure. 5 stars all round, amazing pub atmosphere, the food is just sublime (chefs kiss) and very reasonably priced. This place will be our new favourite local.

Truly superb. Update (Sep. 25) - Went for Sunday lunch this past weekend and it was really excellent. Very pleased that The Brook is continuing to raise its game. Original review: I've been to The Brook Inn a couple of times. The first visit was for Sunday lunch, which was good but not outstanding either as a Sunday lunch or generally as a meal. Our recent second visit was on a Friday evening, was therefore their standard menu, and a completely different experience. The food and service were both exceptional, and as there's always a couple of guest ales on I enjoyed one of these too. The menu changes regularly depending on what is in season, so I'm excited to see what is on offer come my next visit; which hopefully won't be too far in the future. Should you have opportunity to try the 'duck kiev' I highly recommend it!

Very cozy environment with an interesting seasonal menu. The food presentation and quality is amazing. I had fish of the day with a roasted cabbage side, followed with a small dessert with coffee, absolutely enjoyed it. The service is good and the price is reasonable. However, they don't have that much selection on drinks (no cocktail and limited gin options). It's dog-friendly with free parking offered (lots of parking places). I would come again for sure!

I have driven past the Brook so many times, today I visited and I wasn't disappointed! The welcome was warm the food was very nice and I will definitely be returning. Myself and friend had the fixed price menu you can have 2 courses for £20 or 3 for £30 . I had a main of prawn and red pepper risotto and desert of lemon and elderflower possit. It was so tasty 😋

Was not overly impressed with this restaurant. The lights were flickering throughout the dining area, which was really annoying. It was a bit grubby and was not as bright and well presented as is depicted in the photos they have put on Google. The mains are purchased on their own, sides are extra. I think £19 for a ceaser salad is a little excessive. The food was of a reasonable standard, but the venue fell well short of expectation.

Have been many times to this pub as the food is always great however on more than one occasion this has been let down by the service. Bar staff are generally pleasant but in the restaurant you have to call the staff for orders to be taken. On recent visit had to ask if we could order a drink, ask if we could order our meals, our desserts and if we could have the bill. Waiting staff appeared stressed and were not very warm.

Food was rank, ordered our daughter the children's over 6 hunters chicken, it came and was ridiculously tiny. Was less than half a slice of bread in size. The steak we had ordered was tough when ordered medium. Chips were cold as if they'd been left out same with the steak. The chicken that came with the steak was hard and seemed to had been left out. Just terrible really.

Visited on a very warm evening and decided to eat inside even though there was room in the outside space. Food and choice were good and offered at a reasonable price. Staff were friendly and helpful. Service was prompt, too.

We visited yesterday lunch time to celebrate our son's GCSE results, family of 5, the food here is great value and good quality and the service is also very good, would highly recommend and will definitely return! 👍 We had the following 2 x Fish and Chips 2 x Chicken Gyros Wraps 1 x Mac N Cheese We also had 1 drink each and it all came to less than £45 👍

Went on a quiet Sunday afternoon. Lovely food. Debbie was friendly and helpful, so was the other lad serving. We had philly steak and a mixed grill. Both lovely. Traditional pub grub :-)

First visit for me and I’ll definitely be going back. The staff were lovely, and the food was delicious. Very good value for money too 😁

First visit. We came here on Friday night, a party of 9. There is a lovely atmosphere here & the staff are all very pleasant and friendly. Our food was excellent, really tasty and very competitively priced. We will definitely be back.

Didn't eat so am unable to comment although the food we did see looked very good! Very, very busy inside and out. Staff were excellent and rushed off their feet. A lively atmosphere for families!

Bar is great! Have been coming to the bramley for 30+ years and still enjoy the family atmosphere. Cameron is especially attentive, great with customer service and always makes us laugh. We often sit outside and he will turn the heaters on and remembers our orders and names! Fab guy and great pub! Definitely recommend this place

Our first visit, but will return if we're in the area. Surprisingly busy for a late Wednesday lunchtime: it was around 2pm when we arrived. Good menu, friendly and helpful staff when ordering, great hot chocolate for £2.99 (with cream included!) and the food was delicious and portions were large. We ate at lunchtime so probably won't have much more today! I had the Hunters Chicken and himself had the Beef Short Rib. Both excellent and tasty. The only point I'd make is that you need to add dried rice to the salt cellars - after the recent wet weather they were blocked - but that's a very minor point.

I was taken there yesterday by a dear friend and his wife who treated me to lunch. We all ordered sea bass and chips, but when it came it looked more like a stickleback in batter it was so small and very few chips. I did not wish to make a scene as my friend paid but when he asked the waitress about the portions he was met with silence. Now I have eaten there many times in the past and the foods been very good but this was pityful and how anyone could've thought it adequate to serve is beyond me. Maybe a bad day.

We have recently been to the Bramley Cottage, and I must say a huge thank you to Cameron. Thanks to Cameron, we downloaded the Ember Inn app and have been enjoying the benefits since! The pub does great food, has fabulous staff and the weekend entertainment is excellent. Its nice to see Thatcher's Cider back on draught too.

The food was nice and bought out fairly quickly. Not that busy in there and we were there for 1pm

Possibly the worst food I've had in Redditch, we had a selection of Indian starters, the Onion Bhaji were best described as rotten mush, they went straight back the poppadum was swimming in dark brown fryer oil, if you cant keep your fryers clean, don't leave the evidence all over the food. the Chicken tikka was hard, we really should have returned the lot and gone elsewhere! I was only £15 but really have no interest in returning, awful!

Some more up to date feedback... Just been to the Bramley cottage for my mother in law's birthday. The food today was amazing.. beautiful light batter on the quality pieces of haddock... The mixed grill was perfectly cooked. My chicken and Portobello mushroom pie was sooo tasty, rich sauce and crispy pastry 😋😋 Aidan was fantastic throughout, a great choice for front of house hospitality.. With a Cheerful friendly demeanor and a great approach for service to his customers, Aidan enhanced the whole meal experience for us... Thank you My final shout out goes to Kam... He brought our the food and drinks cleared the tables and made sure all the tables were kept clear and cleaned.. another great ambassador working hard to ensure the reputation of the Ember inn's brand. Well done guys.... Very pleased 😎 --------previous feedback ---------- We have just been to the Bramley Cottage for Sunday dinner. We spotted it on the way to dalish bakes to sort out our wedding cake and called in on the way back. The servers Carly and Ella were very welcoming and gave a fantastic service Everywhere was very clean and well presented. The roaring open fire made the whole dining area feel very cosy. Now to the food... Exceptional !! My dinner was cooked to perfection, the meats were tender, flavoursome and parsnips were some of the best I've tasted.... It came out of the kitchen in a very short time considering it was a Sunday. The cutlery (photo) was spotless and bright... The little condiments platter was a really good touch. These little extra touches show the level of detail the staff go to in order to give the customers an all round pleasing experience. This venue is 22 miles from my home but after this superb eating experience we will be returning here for my soon to be mother in laws birthday in April. (Well worth the drive out) This Ember inn's is a real credit to the management and staff that have clearly worked so hard to make a really pleasurable place to eat. I would highly recommend.

Popped in for an after work beer on a beautiful sunny afternoon. Great atmosphere and service (despite only 2 staff being on duty) Vicky was outstanding in multi tasking serving, clearing and offering first class service with a smile. I was tired just watching her run around tirelessly. A great place to pop in and relax.

Lovely relaxing atmosphere, great place for a family get together or maybe meet up with friends. The staff are Happy and friendly. Food menu is good. Sat outside in the garden it was very relaxing with light music playing in the background. I would definitely come back.

Great place , fantastic bar and the service is super too with pleasant staff. Lots of parking and a great place for kids and has a good selection of food .

Went for lunch with my father, nice meal out at decent price, good options for food and drink. Decent meal out , only one issue to be honest, one female member of bar staff / serving team was quite rude, and had very bad attitude . The younger lady that served us and came to check up on us was very nice and very attentive.

Sorry to say but I thought some feedback would be helpful. We were really disappointed with our recent experience. The tempura cauliflower starter was hard and cold, and unfortunately, the soup was also served cold. For mains, the fish and chips looked promising because of the size, but sadly it was mostly batter with very little fish inside. The chips were extremely greasy, which made them inedible. The half chicken was the biggest letdown – it tasted as if it had been microwaved rather than freshly cooked. It was very dry and completely lacked flavour. Overall, the food quality just wasn’t up to standard, and we left feeling quite unwell and disappointed. It’s a shame, as we had high hopes for this meal.

We have a monthly 3 course dinner here with about 20 guests. The food has always been excellent and very reasonably priced. The staff are great, service is prompt and they are always attentive to our needs. The staff are very accommodating if there are last minute changes. I thoroughly recommend The Tardebigge and its staff.

Excellent. After last week's travesty at Beefater, Longbridge, how nice it was to come here. A lovely looking place, clean, spacious and modern. We sat in a private room for a birthday, but the service was still attentive and friendly. The food was excellent, and even during the great British salad shortage of 2023, we weren't left wanting. Looking forward to going back soon

It's conveniently located close to the Kingfisher shopping centre and bus station. The pub was very busy when we arrived but we managed to get a table for late lunch. Food is freshly prepared and delicious The staff is friendly and helpful during our visit The building is beautifully decorated with plenty of history of Redditch and has a Beer garden attached for additional seatings area.

Food was mediocre to say the least. Burrito bowl was like a microwave dish, with extra bits piled on top. Burger bun was over toasted but edible. Staff are friendly enough, overall place could do with a deep clean, carpets are tired etc but it's a budget food place so don't expect the Ritz

Came here for a visit to the local area, decided needed some food and drink, got a bbq pizza 11inch noticed the rocket was missing okay, no worries with that. Finished that then ordered dessert, table getting full so stacked up the plates then ordered dessert, it came asked if they could take the plates was told busy and walked off.... okay so next time I will not come and eat here, dont mind spending my money else where

In my opinion, the better of the two Spoons in the town. Vegetarian breakfast was good, but the baked beans were cold. However, the manager brought another portion to the table. The female associates were friendly and helpful. Very good outdoor terraces, with two to the rear and one out front. If you like motorcycle memorabilia you will be pleased with some of the exhibits and photographs throughout the restaurant. May return

You get what you pay for. It's a JD Weatherspoons pub, not the Ritz. Decent enough, food is ok and cheap enough. Toilets are a mile away like all spoons.

Security too to get lock your arms behind back to remove from restaurant use excuse if being drunk being 30m before closing they will forcefully remove you depending on if they could get away with it I would like the cctv footage of that one night send me your email so I can report a case. They don't care. Thanks you reading review thanks. :/

I really enjoy the food here Service is great! Good atmosphere at a moderate noise

The Kingfisher Centre's Eduardo Paolozzi mosaics were officially unveiled in 1983. They are among the finest pieces of public art in the UK.

A clean and refreshing shopping centre with a great variety of stores. From coffee shops and designer brands to Savers, Primark, Boots, JD, and a range of perfume shops – there’s something for everyone. Unlike many other shopping centres, it’s pleasantly quiet, allowing you to browse and walk around at your own pace. Ideal for a relaxing shopping trip or a casual lunch. The car park is convenient, with a simple pay-as-you-leave system. Overall, a well-maintained and enjoyable place to shop.

Love it.. what a big mall.. excellent place to spend time on a bad weather day. Kids play area, lot of shops, eating joint. Parking is decently priced and I like it you do not have to walk in a bad weather as parking is enclosed and quite accessible to mall entrance. I use car park 4 always.

A gem of a place, bit dated due to customer ( younger) changing preferences, has a cinema, which was nice, what you would expect, Shopping choice in the normal chain stores, but the gems are the independent places, the cobblers that resole shoes with vibram soles, that bring perfectly good shoes or boots back to life, a real saving in price, old is gold, as shrinkflation and such, my old boots with alot of life left can have new soles, Other independent stores are just as good, the places to eat are brilliant, then again the independent places shine, well worth a visit, In conclusion, a must for those who like to remember and shop like it used to be, instead of scrolling virtually,

Has everything you need love shopping here great shopping mall

the only good thing about kingfisher was the boba stand now it’s gone and all that remains is the outline of my beloved shop. i’m fuming to say the least.

Decent shopping experience. Less hectic then birmingam town centre. Not mega busy and so many different shops

Maybe I just wasn't drunk enough but it felt really moody upstairs....like borderline aggressive atmosphere. Another gripe was the bathroom attendant, is this really necessary? I felt harassed while I was in there.

Went Saturday night about 11.45ish went to the ladies toilets and only 1 toilet out of them all had toilet roll. The place wasn't busy only around 20ish people there so presume they wasn't filled before opening. Told a member off staff stood near the bar but was in no rush to sort it as she was sticking 25 year signs onto the tills. There was 1 member off staff on the bar serving.

What a fantastic night the lad on glass collection was very helpful i think his name is owen he showed me to the smoking area 😀

DJs were a vibe, Barstaff were excellent and also a vibe, thank you to Fin, Charley and Hannah for serving with a form of urgency which allowed me to further enjoy the night. Highly Recommend

CHECK DRESS CODE BEFORE YOU GO! Turned around by bouncers because I was wearing “sports attire”, I wasn’t, I was wearing primark cotton shorts due to my exchma.

Had a great night! Hannah served me and she was really nice and the drinks were fab!

Great night out! Staff are really friendly, especially Finley who went above and beyond to make sure we had the best service! Highly recommended!

Easily the best cafe in Redditch town centre. Lovely, friendly staff a huge asset to this place. In a great, quiet location near St Stephens Church. Nice ambience with tasteful lighting and decor. Good selection of pastries sweet and savoury. Good coffee too!

This coffee shop is an absolute gem nestled in the heart of Church Green, and it's become my favorite spot for a cozy and relaxing time. The view of the nearby church adds a touch of charm to the whole experience. Every time I walk in, the staff greets me with genuine warmth, making me feel like I'm stepping into a friend's place rather than just a coffee shop. Their friendly demeanor sets the perfect tone for a lovely visit. Now, let me talk about their tea - it's simply out of this world! I'm a tea lover, and the way they prepare it is heavenly. But let me not forget their milkshakes, oh my! They are incredibly delicious, and I've found myself returning just to savor those delightful treats. When it comes to their food selection, they've got it right. It's a nice mix of flavors and options that complement the drinks perfectly. I cannot recommend Aroma Coffee Bar enough. If you're in Reddich and looking for a place to unwind with great drinks, lovely staff, and a beautiful view, this is the spot for you. It has become my little haven, and I'm sure you'll love it just as much!

Amazing food and venue a hidden gem staff friendly and will accommodate where needed really nice vibe in there

If you're going to take your driving theory test, this is the place to come after! Great service from the ladies there, very clean, nice surroundings, we had cinnamon rolls and sticky lemon buns, they were warm, gooey and delicious, we also had the special hot chocolates and a caramel latte, equally tasty, had a little chuckle too at the sign on the toilet door!, will come back here again, if you want to give here a try it is just behind the church, much nicer than being in the hustle bustle of the town itself.

Really unprofessional and unhygienic!!!!! Staff members’ children were running into the back where food was being prepared. Staff were bullying their new trainee, she was pushed and sworn at. Staff changed the bin bag and carried on with food prep without washing hands. If it couldn’t get any worse, staff were rude to the customers and very unwelcoming!!!

I had a trial shift here and one woman called Eva pushed me, swore at me and told me to ‘chop chop’. Eva and the other woman on shift were also talking about me behind my back. When they were preparing the food in the morning none of them washed their hands🤢. I would recommend any other place than this hell hole where they bully their staff.

Really friendly staff with great coffee and cakes. I will definitely be going back

Lovely little local pub, staff are all lovely.

Great little local pub 🍻 reasonable prices and good beer 🍻 made really welcome by all on Christmas eve.

Friendly little pub. Plenty of live music and events throughout the year. The manager always goes above and beyond to ensure things run well.

Great little pub,on the edge of Hunt End,with a nice lawn,ideal for a sunny day. It also has BT,so the footy is on too.They have a marquis with a tv in it.,so there's room for a few in there too. Give it a try sometime.

Great pub landlord is so welcoming and friendly feels like a home from home when we go staff are friendly. Good entertainment that you dont need tickets for on some days check facebook for dates. People are friendly its a nice little old fashioned pub love it.

Unfortunately closed at the time I must go back

Great cosy local pub, very friendly and welcoming and excellent service.

Nice local watering hole, super friendly like all in the area. Featuring traditional British waterfall toilet, highly recommended.

A bit small. Went there for open mic. The bar was pact with about 20 people. Drinks are a good price. I would come back but not with anything going on as it tends to get over crowded.

Went for the open mic night. It was fab. Friendly staff, plenty of tables and room. Great night

Decent boozer, decent prices on draught. Friendly staff, would recommend.

Wow, what a fantastic experience we had. Looking for a pub that was showing BT sports to watch the Manchester United match we found The Bell in Studley. Approaching the pub it is very inviting with plenty of parking available. First walking in we were greated by the owner steve, he was so friendly and proud of his pub and so he should be. We were shown where we could watch the match either in the lounge or the bar area, steve suggested the lounge as he pulled down a projector screen. My son was over the moon to watch the match on this. We asked if they were doing food so we could have a sandwich for our kids but that does not start till next week, at our suprise Sam the other owner had gone out of her way to provide the best cheese, onion and ham cobs I've had in a long time. Where the onion still had a crunch. We highly recommend this place, great service. Can't wait to come back and try their cooked food when it starts

My experience here wasn’t great to put it simply but i’d like to highlight some of the things that made it what it was. The service was cold in character and the food was so bad that it was like eating lego. It’s a disgrace that I payed for that. Also when i was there i received a few dirty looks that were most likely because of my skin colour as nobody else that I was with that were not of colour received anything like that.

Nice enough pub with a decent sized lounge area. Friendly staff and regulars, regular events and good beer/cider selection.

Staff incredibly rude. Went in shop at 5:24pm to get greeted by rolling of eyes and be told they shut soon. At 5:26pm I'm told to go to the checkout as the shutters are going down. I then went out the shop, having to duck under the shutters. I then managed to pop to the shop next door and make a purchase even though they shut at 5:30pm also

Lots of remaindered books, art materials toys and games at lower prices than most. Inside the Kingfisher shopping centre and good disabled access but to narrow aisles between the displays which can be packed. Art materials are ok at best, certainly good for school but little else.

Well stocked store , helpful staff. Not very accessible for disabled people

Great little shop for kids gifts and crafty bits and bobs

Who actually buys anything from this shop? It's OK, always a mess and no clue what it is mean to be.

Tidy store with helpful staff

Fab place to visit for all sorts of things and presents.

Floor wasn't as sticky as it used to be. Drinks didn't taste as watered down, oh and the vodka was drinkable. Music and speakers were good. Floor space is much better than it used to be. Good club

If you like cramped clubs with high price drinks that smells of sweety feet then this is the place to go. Otherwise I'd avoid!

Interesting place...probably the best in redditch for that type of bar / club / late night drunken fun vibe

Fever is an okay night out if your with your mates but on the downside you get either older people or underage people, if you go in there expect to see a fight

Floor sticky, drinks really expensive... Still best place like this in Redditch.

I'm sure it was ace as o can't remember what happened.i do remember that the smelly carpet has gone now. Happy clubbing.

Good fun and ok value

Another stay here and it didn't disappoint. A next door room was noisy but the rooms and staff are great. Seanah who was looking after us in the restaurant was absolutely amazing... Friendly and really nice happy person. Thank you.

Stayed over for business and had a lovely evening in the pub. Great food, especially for middle aged men on business trips! An unexpected pub quiz was a lot of fun (every Tuesday apparently) and Chloe and Seanah behind the bar were great fun, friendly and Wonderfully efficient. Would recommend.

I spent a lovely evening in the bar and restaurant on Friday 26 September 25. Very helpful and friendly bar staff. I think there names were Katie and Seanah. They are a credit to your company. Made me feel very welcome and were extremely professional. Also great value beer promotion and food was reasonable. Keep up the good service you guys. If I'm ever that way again I will return. Very worth a visit for a drink and a meal. Thanks. Matt

Was served by Chloe and she was amazing! Quick on her feet and really organised, so lovely and funny too. Food was delicious, both got burgers and it was divine .Definitely coming back :) ☺️

Came in for a slap up meal with the missus and was not disappointed. Great atmosphere and food was good value for money. Isabelle was our server and went above and beyond to make us feel accommodated and looked after. Will be returning because of her service. Also the kitchen were playing banging tunes.

Me and a friend popped into Meadow Farms whilst my car was being looked at by the local Citroen garage. We were greeted by two very welcoming and friendly staff. Laura and Alyssa. Service was excellent . Even though there was an issue in the kitchen and no cooked breakfast was available there still was a small choice to choose from. Staff were very friendly and chatty. So just want to say thank you ladies and we will definitely make a journey back up the motorway to try breakfast or even a Sunday lunch

Stopped for breakfast with 3 mates on our way to lower park fishing venue located nearby. We stopped here by chance as our regular cafe at lower park was closed. I have to say what a find. The pub was well decorated and spotlessly clean. The breakfast orders were taken at the table by Sam who was very pleasant and made us feel very welcome. The full English breakfast was £8.95 and included coffee and help yourself from the continental buffet table. Overall a great experience. We have all agreed this is our new breakfast meeting place for the fishing club from now on. All were impressed by the service and value we received. Thanks to Sam and his team for their excellent service today 👍
