The 50 best bars and drinks in Birmingham

Recently visited this pub, prior to a theatre show. Booking is definitely advised with this venue. It was very busy when we arrived and extremely hot inside. It was very noisy, with lots or party groups and hen party, too. The staff were very welcoming, helpful and friendly. We were shown to a table and then asked to move to the one alongside, some 20 minutes later! Our food order arrived within 15 minutes. It was well cooked and presented, tasted delicious, too. Our server was lovely and nothing was too much trouble for her. The building itself was a bank, so the inside was beautiful, as you would expect from an old building. However, the leaves which hand around as decoration were very dusty and definitely due to be replaced/cleaned. Also, the downstairs corridors leading to the wash rooms require attention, along with the toilets themselves. On the whole, yes I would return, staff are wonderful, decoration/toilets in need of help.

A Great Experience at Lost and Found We had a really enjoyable time at Lost and Found. Despite not having a reservation, we were seated promptly (though it was a weekday), which was a great start. The interior is beautifully done—stylish and welcoming. The staff were friendly and attentive throughout our visit. We appreciated the online ordering system, which made things very convenient. The menu had a good range of options, and I went with the fish and chips—absolutely delicious! We also took advantage of the 2-for-1 offer on selected drinks, which was a nice bonus. Overall, a great experience, and we’ll definitely be back.

Staff were lovely and accommodating from start to finish. Very helpful and friendly, the place itself was really nice. Loved the decor, the facilities were lovely. Can’t really fault anything. The only thing I would say was the private bar wasn’t in use not sure if this was due to staffing as it was a Sunday but we had to go out the private room to the main bar for drinks and we had to order pretty much soon as we arrived as the kitchen closed at 8 and my booking was at 6. Apart from that our waitress Lolita? Was AMAZING!

The venue is nicely decorated and styled and we were greeted on entry and taking to our table by a polite and friendly and attentive waitress. Unfortunately that’s where the positives ended. Myself and my partner had the beef roast, the beef had a slimy texture was seriously undercooked and very fatty. The potatoes were also undercooked. The broccoli was fit for the pin, way past its best and it was the same with my partner’s cauliflower cheese. My daughter who made the booking for Mother’s Day barely ate her fish as it was watery and very mushy. We got the attention of the waitress to complain about the food, she was apologetic and said she’d get the manager to speak to us, we waited about 45 mins and the manager never arrived so we got the attention of the waitress again and she went off to speak to the manager again. Eventually we had the meals discounted but not to the level that matched the waste of money and poorly prepared food. I would not recommend this place for food.

Met with a friend for a late lunch, catch up, natter. Perfect! We ordered 4 starters and shared as neither of us were over hungry. Food delicious! Surrounding just lovely! We then sat there chatting so long we realised the 2 for 1 cocktails had started! Not many to choose from but my! They were so good! I know we'll be back again!

We had the lunch set menu and the food was really good — well-prepared dishes and absolutely amazing desserts. The service was excellent: friendly and attentive, especially thanks to the lovely Jasmeen who made us feel very welcome. It’s a real pity about the lack of cleanliness, as the place has great potential and could be truly outstanding with a bit more care.

Food & service was first class, despite being very busy the waitress was very attentive. Giving that it was a Saturday afternoon you will find it quite boisterous and I found the music to be a touch loud (but I am old and grey!!) and we were having to chat with raised voices, still, it was lovely, I enjoyed the steak and the Mrs enjoyed her burger. Therefore if you don't mind really loud music on Saturday afternoon then this is the place for you - recommended.....👍👍

Came here for the first time properly visiting Birmingham in the day. Its a located a little out of the way but worth visiting if your into alternative venues or gaming. Its in a court yard with a few other venues nearby. Its all black walls inside but not dark as they are covered in artwork etc. using UV and glow in the dark paint, and as there are UV lights everywhere, its brightly lite up. Drinks selection on draught not the bog standard drinks but nothing special. They do have a large cocktail selection which we didn't try and you can clearly see the options as they are displayed on a huge boad behind the bar with funky names. There are several consoles that are free to use, including some classic games from the 80's so you could easily spend hours here if your into gaming. Spread around the venue are arcade games that take tokens you can buy from the bar. This includes booths for guitar hero and dance revolution. They do sell food but we didnt try it. I do like it here

Epic venue and great staff! Such a wonderful experience here. My innerchild got to relive so many nostalgia childhood memories with all the retro games they have here. A great variety of games to play and fantastic value for money. The cocktail menu was insane! The music was also a vibe! 💥

Not the biggest place (other NQ64s are bigger with more machines), but plenty to play! Visited at lunchtime on a Saturday and it was quiet... great for us! Alcohol free drinks (including beer) available. Staff were also helpful when we had an issue with a machine.

So many fun arcade games, lots of game themed drinks and a perfect place to hang out

I always come here with the guys and honestly it is such a lot of fun to go to. Went out for my birthday yesterday and had great birthday special drinks and had great time playing video games. A worker there called Little jack was really cool good chat and was very kind great service!! Honestly this place is a 10/10

A great time was had at NQ64. We has fun playing laser quest and going around the arcade games. Thanks to Dre, Shan and Dondre for looking after us.

An absolute gem in the heart of Digbeth! NQ64 Birmingham is hands down one of the coolest spots in the city. The moment you walk in, you’re hit with that retro neon glow and a wave of nostalgia — it’s like stepping straight into the 80s and 90s arcade scene. They’ve got all the classics — Street Fighter II, Mortal Kombat, Tekken, Time Crisis, plus a ton of Sega and Nintendo favourites. Every machine feels well-kept and ready to play, which is rare these days! The bar is fantastic too, amazing cocktails, loads of drink options. The staff are friendly, the vibe is electric, and the mix of arcade fun + Laser Quest makes it one of the most unique experiences in Birmingham. If you love retro games, neon lights, and a bit of friendly competition, I think NQ64 is an absolute must-visit!

We LOVED our dinner at the Botanist and highly recommend it. First of all, the cauliflower is the best of our lives! The halloumi fries and gambas were also really good. The Peri Peri chicken was so good and dang those veggies were perfect too. We loved every drink esp the porn star martini and the lavender lemon Collins. The wait and bar staff were amazing. It was such a wonderful experience!

This is my type of restaurant/ bar, I love the sophistication, dedication, decor, vibrancy, atmosphere and everything about this restaurant😍🤩, the staff are so polite and friendly… i have skipped along happily and excited to soak up the luxuries of this restaurant many times with friends and family🥳…i have also had a date here😌 So what ever the occasion is i recommend you take a look here☺️

Stopped here for dinner and drinks after a day out in the city. The decor is unique and gives the place a lively atmosphere. Food was good, particularly the hanging kebabs which are fun and filling. Cocktails were creative and well presented. It does get noisy in the evening, but that is part of the vibe.

Me and my girlfriend visited here on a trip to Birmingham The food was high quality and tasty. Beautifully decorated The drinks where adventurous and well priced Overall amazing experience

Came in at a very early and quiet time of day which probably didn't do it justice, as I can imagine it's probably a lot livelier as the day goes on. It was still ok in there, very nicely done up inside. I didn't have anything to eat so can't comment on the food, just had a cocktail and a beer which were both fine.

I've been to the other branch in Birmingham and loved it, so I thought I'd try this one as its alot more central location ( note gave the other branch 5/5) Foods 10/10 just like the other site, the only thing that lets this branch down is the staff. 1 out of the 3 staff who dealt with us was really good! The other two were just not very friendly.... It's worth going just for the food! But I would recommend just going to the other branch ( about 20 minutes away )

Great place with amazing atmosphere, friendly service, and fantastic food! Had a lonely dinner experience! The place is very cosy, has a great atmosphere with all the lovely decoration. It's quite big - there are tables outside, bar area, few dining rooms inside and lavatories on the lower ground floor. We were greeted at the door and asked if we had a booking, we didn't but still managed to get a table. It was Thursday night, so it wasn't that busy. The service was very friendly and fast. The food menu has interesting dishes, a variety of vegetarian options, and their famous kebabs. I definitely recommend the chicken one. It's served either with chips, couscous, or coconut rice. I went with chips, and they were so crispy. The kebab was also delicious. There is a variety of drinks as well, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails. I really liked the alcohol-free Mind mojito.The deserts are out of this world! I had the most amazing Orea chocolate cookie dough! The prices are also reasonable. It was a great experience, and I definitely recommend this place!

Had a great Sunday evening dinner here. Really unique decor and cozy atmosphere, staff were friendly and attentive. Food was nice and the menu had plenty of good options. We booked using FirstTable for 50% off food, so we got very reasonable prices as well. We didn't get any drinks, but there was a wide variety at the bar. Overall, highly recommended!

An oasis hidden below the mayhem above. We visited on a quiet weekday night and stayed until closing. Super selection of beers and good service. Decor is imaginative but in a Michelangleo Greek renaissance theme. That’s my best interpretation but would recommend trying the bar. Sadly I will not get to experience the bustle of a weekend it was a good night.

Bacchus Bar is a fantastic spot for anyone who loves great food and refreshing beer. The menu offers a wide range of tasty dishes — everything is cooked perfectly and pairs wonderfully with their excellent selection of beers. The craft beers are always served cold and fresh, with plenty of choices to match different tastes. The bar food is flavorful and satisfying, from juicy bites to hearty mains. It’s the perfect place to relax, enjoy a good meal, and have a few drinks with friends. Highly recommended for both food and beer lovers!

Great atmosphere, The historical atmosphere is quite successful. Saturday evenings can be crowded and stuffy, also finding a table can be relatively difficult. On the other hands a very authentic place for other days

A Hidden Gem Opposite New Street Station Bacchus Bar was our first stop upon arriving in Birmingham, and it was the perfect start to a great evening. We came across the pub when walking out of New Street Station, located opposite the station, we almost walked past when heading to the typical red brick pubs - I’m glad we didn’t. When entering, you go down a spiral staircase and you’re welcomed into an atmospheric space adorned with striking floor-to-ceiling artwork, sculptures, and eclectic décor that gives the bar a distinctive character. We stayed for a few drinks, including the Bacchus IPA and Nicholson’s Pale Ale. Both were enjoyable, but the Bacchus IPA stood out—highly recommended if you’re into craft-style brews. Although we couldn’t get a table for food as a walk-ins at around 7pm due to upcoming reservations (understandable for a busy evening), the menu looked solid, with options like pies and burgers. Overall, a fantastic experience. Friendly staff, a memorable setting, and an atmosphere that’s hard to find elsewhere. Bacchus Bar has definitely earned a spot on our “must return” list.

I always visit this bar when I'm in Birmingham,it's really beautiful inside,tucked away underground by the Burlington hotel. Nice friendly staff,drink price's are high,but it is a big city.I'll order some food next time,as they looked like they had a lot of nice things on the menu.

I haven't been in here in 20 years and to be honest wasn't looking forward to it because I'm not really a sociable person but have to say that even though it was busy for a Saturday night, I was pleasantly surprised. Food was delicious with generous portions and prices reasonable. ALL the staff I spoke to were attentive, friendly and helpful. Even though they were rushed off their feet they had time to have a little chat and a laugh with my husband and I. Would I come back? Absolutely. 🥰

Our team lunch at Flight Club in Birmingham was an excellent experience. It was my first visit, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. We arrived just before they opened at noon, waited for about 3 minutes for them to open. The atmosphere was immediately welcoming and the staff helped us to our table. The venue offered a fun darts game, which added a unique touch to the experience. The food was fantastic and reasonably priced. I opted for the Beyond Burger, curly fries, and salad, followed by some delicious brownies. The menu also featured a variety of burger options, while some of my colleagues enjoyed pizzas and wraps. The curly fries and brownies were personal highlights for me😊. Additionally, I tried a non-alcoholic cocktail, Spring Passion, I particularly think that was refreshing and well-prepared. The venue itself is beautifully decorated and had a warm and inviting ambiance. Overall, Flight Club is a fantastic choice for team-building activities or group lunches. I highly recommend it!

My partner booked for my birthday. We arrived slightly early and were offered to start early. The staff were really friendly and happy to help at all times. The food and drinks come quickly and at a high standard, the pizza was lovely and not greasy at all. The nachos were tasty and good portion. The darts games were fun and the whole idea is rather awesome, lots of fun for all. Staff came and gave us an extra 15 mins at the end of our session which was ace. Good value for money on the game and food, drinks seemed a little pricey but they aren’t any more expensive than other Birmingham bars etc. good experience all round.

Met some friends on a night out not knowing what to expect. What a great place. We played darts and they helped coordinate the tournament. The bar staff was extra attentive to needs. Offered great recommendations. we had a fantastic night out. Make sure you book in advance as this is a very popular venue.

We have visited here a few times in the last few years and I’ve visited with a variety of groups - work party’s with 25+ people, friends of up to 6 and just myself and my partner and they comfortably cater for it all. The food is perfect for what you want, picky items that are delicious - particularly always go for the nachos. Absolutely love that they do discounts for people in the hospitality industry on Sundays and Mondays - perfect for us. We love it here and we try and make it part of a day out when we have visitors. I wonder if you may introduce some new games in the near future - would be great to see something different

We came here for a works team day social. Not done it and initial thought was ‘darts are boring’. However, it was a lot of fun and a lot of different games to play. Whilst darts in the core of it, it really was great fun playing with and against various people. The laughter didn’t really stop and was a nice Team event. We order plenty of drinks and they came fast with great service. We didn’t have any good but other seemed to have a buffet for their events.

This was a last minute booking for 6 people and I have to say what a great choice it was. The drinks are average prices and some fantastic cocktails, the staff we had the pleasure of meeting where great and went out of there way to help. The darts was a great fun addition to the evening and was such good fun I recommend playing in couple wow does it get competitive. Great night out and a great place to visit in Birmingham

Simply came to drink & enjoy, great atmosphere, fast bar service, unique fun & lively bar

Just as good one year on! Visited April 2024 and loved Tilt. Back this April and we came in twice on our trip to Birmingham. Great range of beers which my partner enjoyed. As someone who doesn’t drink I was very happy to find the vault city AF sour in the fridge. Good range of beers in the fridge to takeaway. Also had an oat latte and hot chocolate - both were so good! Definitely try a hot chocolate. Lots of different pinball machines. Friendly staff!

Have seen this place in the local news and on social media a few times, it looked fun and I was in the vicinity so thought I'd pop in. There's three floors of pinball machines and seating, and craft beers on tap. I started off with a few games on the foo fighters machine, which was great as it pumped out some of their best work while I played, and gave the extra incentive to play better and longer! After that, I chilled out with a few beers, and got my wife a couple of coffees in. We went during a quiet time, and were served by the owner who I quietly recognised from media I'd previously seen. Service was friendly and courteous. A few times he offered to bring our drinks to our table. My wife enjoyed the coffee, it looked and smelt great to me. I tried three different pints, but you can buy various smaller measures, which is handy as the beer is definitely not cheap, ranging from £5.60 to £24 for a pint! The three I had were lovely though. It's the kind of place that's definitely worth checking out at least once as a great experience, but not somewhere I could see myself regularly visiting. I came in ready with pound coins for the machines, but I believe they sort you out with change at the counter if you're not as well prepared.

Craft beer bar and pinball gallery. Set in lovely old arcade. Very basic seating and facilities. Some very good craft beers were on at reasonable prices. (Some special US beers were the most expensive I've ever seen in UK). About 20 pinball machines in very good working condition. Clearly a specialist place - but hard to beat for beer & pinball.

Love this bar. Never really played pinball before but a big fan of old school arcade games. Went here for a change on a night out with the wife and have been back several times. Three floors of pinball machines from very new ones like Jaws to old classics like the Addams Family. Have taken various friends and my kids and everyone loves it. If you are bored of all the obvious places give tilt a try. :)

Brilliant bar with a fine selection of craft beer and pinball machines! New pinball machines on the ground floor and classic 90"s tables on the first floor. All in great condition and played very well. £1 for one game, £3 for three games, great value. The beer was super as well with an interesting selection on offer. Prices were reasonable for the quality on offer. Overall a great bar and well worth popping in.

Great little bar/cafe. Have lots of pinball machines to play with even though there like 30+ pinballs, they do have plenty of tables if you want to sit down. Bearing in mind you still need to pay coins for the machine. I say it's great fun to start your night or even taking the kids there while yourself having a nice cold pint. Drinks menu is interesting with different types and seasons drinks however it isn't a pint you neck down in 5 min as it pretty pricey. 8/10

Fantastic Pinball bar offering a superb range of craft beers on tap, in cans and in bottles. All styles of beers on offer, whether you like IPAs, sour beers or big heavy stouts! If you're not in the mood for a beer, there's a range of other drinks on offer, plus some pretty delicious coffee and cakes! Vibe is super chilled and the staff are very knowledgeable about the machines and the beers. Pinball machines are beautifully maintained and range from vintage 90s machines upstairs to brand new machines on the ground floor. Well recommended if you like the sound of a bar with equally well curated machines and beers alike!

Excellent pub with rotating pop-up restaurants and chefs always excellent quality. Large selection of drinks including beers wines cocktails. The wine list includes natural wines. Nice location nice clientele. Dark and mysterious.

A lovely place in the jewellery quarter with great laid back atmosphere and music. Food was delicious and filling. Approved by us Londoners. Everyone was super friendly. It had an indie vibe 👍👍👍 We loved it all.

Came here to finish our Saturday night and the experience was great! 1000 trades offers a great selection of craft beer from both keg and cans, and the atmosphere was welcoming and buzzing without feeling too loud or rammed. The selection of board and card games in the corner were a great accompaniment to the brilliant beers

Ok so here is my honest opinion - I would have driven past this place and not even given it a second thought as it doesn’t have great keen appeal - BUT so glad we didn’t…wow wow wow a little gem in JQ. We had to most gorgeous Sunday lunch. A kitchen that knows how to cook for vegetarians and meat eaters. Home made fresh food. The ambience was rustic, friendly service in a relaxed quirky environment. So glad we booked and went along . Overall - Great place, real little find - give it a go you won’t be disappointed. My partner said best vegetarian meal he has had in years. On the whole a hearty recommendation from us.

Lovely quirky place with a good selection of food and drinks. The food was delicious. We had the vegan and vegetarian roasts and it was so tasty, although some of the trimmings were cold. The girls and the chap working in there were so lovely and super friendly and personable. The main downside was we were sat next to the door and it was freezing. They have a fire but it wasn't on. It seems they need a downward hot air blower above the door to keep the cold out. We did look to see if there was a table to move to but they all seemed to have reservations. Would definitely go again, just might put a note on the booking to ask not to be sat at the front. It's also really dog friendly which is amazing.

Excellent food, good choice of wine and other drinks. Quirky place with friendly staff

Unique little mexican restaurant above the pub. Felt authentic and my nachos and spicy prawn mango dish were both very good. Will definitely be back to try some other dishes. Gave the atmosphere a 4 only because I was early and the music was too loud where i was sitting!

Concert and candlelight experience excellent. Make sure you wrap up warm as church or cathedral is cold to sit in for over an hour.

Had amazing time for my cousins birthday, we both enjoyed it and will be returning soon.

The church has a lot to offer. It is not just a religious place but it also holds historical importance. Many such information is laid nicely throughout its campus for the visitors. The church needs restoration and they are actively collecting donations for the same. This is a must visit place with a refreshing garden area surrounding it.

Like many churches or this type, which reflect the local history of that parish and it's characters, this is a good place to visit to learn more about early Birmingham history, around the industrial revolution. Interesting Georgian church and it was especially busy the day I visited due to a local festival. Lots of information panels dotted around with some interesting memorial stones too.

A really nice piece of architecture with a pleasant green space surrounding it. This is a nice spot to visit and sit and enjoy outdoors at.

The most magical and enchanting experience! Would highly recommend Fever candlelight concerts to everyone!! The most talented string quartet, they genuinely sounded so heavenly that I started sobbing! Just perfect in every way and made for a wonderful evening that we'll remember forever.

A beautiful place serving as a venue for events. Really happy to see preserved and restored architecture, specifically the windows. The only down side could be that more people need to visit and hear about it for further improvements and restorations.

Warm and friendly place, we came to do a spot of brunching. The French Toast was so fluffy and the burrata dish was very, very tasty. Wholesome clean food with a fantastic cocktail selection. They change their menu on a weekly basis. The staff are very welcoming and we enjoyed having interactions with them ⭐️⭐️⭐️ also, somehow, there seemed to be a man in my drink!!!!!! Shocked!!!!! Weren’t allowed to buy the display cocktails in cans as another customer cleaned them fresh out ;(

Absolutely fantastic first time at Passing Fancies. The two people serving were truly excellent, so knowledgeable, passionate and friendly. I can't recommend this place enough....quality cocktails, lovely environment and great service. 👍

The best bar in Birmingham!! Pretty chill vibes, a good place to social. Pet friendly as well! Their menu is very creative, my favourite one is called Dinosaurs Food ( a rum based cocktail). They change the menu every week or so. I’ve only been here twice, but this place has won my heart!

Very lovely bar, the menu changes weekly, friendly and welcoming atmosphere— great for going with friends and alone. The drinks were very good, my favourites were the toasted sesame colada and the adult ribena. The non alcoholic cranberry margarita was very good too. I didn’t try the pear margarita but it looks very tasty too. And unfortunately they were out of the passion fruit highball. I didn’t enjoy the shrubby-ness of the pie plant, it was not hard to drink nonetheless. If you like white wine, the pink lady would be amazing. The toasted sesame colada was like nothing I have ever tasted before, it was refreshing and smooth, sweet and aromatic. The adult ribena was sharper in taste and you could taste the alcohol more, its taste was sour and sweet and very fruity. Overall it was a very cool experience, my company particularly enjoyed the open bar aspect and how you could watch the bartender build your drink in front of you. Watching them shave the ice cube was very satisfying too. Recommend!

Would definitely put this place as one of my top 3 picks in Birmingham. The whole team are amazing, walking into the place is best described as walking into an open plan kitchen. The team are always friendly and helpful on recommendations and preferences. Brilliant! Great drinks, great people, great atmosphere!

Honestly, one of the BEST cocktail bars I’ve been to in general. The drinks are perfectly mixed. Not overpriced. Banging stuff. Also, the mixologists/staff are super friendly and welcoming. Shout out to Matt. He’s the main reason we came back for a second time 👌

Superb. The best bar in the city. An award winning team serving a small, but perfectly curated menu. If you want off menu, that’s ok, but trust us when we say you’ll want to try their creations. Drinking at the bar is always my preference. The staff are just the most funny, wonderful people and always make you feel like you’re sat around your mate’s kitchen island. It’s a warm and wholesome bar experience like no other. They often do collaborations with indie restaurants too (most recently Tierra Tacos) so keep an eye on their socials for updates on collabs.

Really cool vibes. Great live music. Nice cocktails. Friendly staff. Very welcoming (from someone who rarely goes out). Nice range of ages. Casual dress or dressed up. Sat and drew the band and the surroundings without feeling uncomfortable, and apparently I wasn't the only one who does that. Nice friendly crowd.

A huge thank you to Clare and all of The Night Owl staff for our amazing wedding at the quirkiest most chilled venue ever! Highly recommend love to you all! You’re all amazing! Thank you Harriet & Dan xxxx

This place really stinks. It smells like those little glass things you'd get from news agents, you'd crack 'em on the floor & they'd stink out the place -- yes that's it, this place has a smell about it like stink bombs. I shall not return. I do not want your audience. The spoken word is doom --- for the fishy smell there. Good bass though or should I say basses

A great compact venue, though Wrap up well if heading there in Winter as a fair bit of the venue is situated outside. The stage has 2 huge TV screens behind it which show clips from many top programmes of the 60s. The venue specialises in retro acts from a bygone era. Bar prices are like most music venues slightly overpriced. On the whole a good sound & feel about the place you dig, I dug.

First time here, but it's a cracking venue! Fab DJ pre and post gig, I'd definitely come back to listen to the great tunes she spins!

Cookout event. Had a great evening listening to Big Ship Alliance and celebrating three birthdays, the DJ was great too. The food was great, thanks to Aairon, I even took some home. Thanks 🙏🏾 Clare for all the info about the event. I look forward to coming back in the Summer when I don't need a coat as event space is partially outdoors.

Great venue in the heart of Digbeth Birmingham. Soul based music is always a winner and used recently for the jazz festival. Small venue but perfect if you are looking for something a bit different

The staff are wonderful, they're willing to explain drinks and suggest drinks based on your taste. They will make pretty much whatever you ask for which is wonderful. They are so knowledgeable! Comfy, casual seating for big groups and we didn't feel rushed despite only having a 1 hour booking. Loved the fox on the ice cubes, a lovely touch!

Popped in for some drinks while away for the weekend in Birmingham and it was such a find! Really innovative cocktail list, good wine list and absolutely fab service. There was a really nice vibe to the place too and we really appreciated the table service! Would definitely go back next time we're in town.

We stumbled across ( and not into) this cocktail bar by chance, in Birmingham city centre. It was a busy Saturday afternoon, and The Fox and Chance appeared fairly quiet. We were escorted to a table and were informed that it was table service, which saves from queuing at a bar. They have quite an extensive cocktail menu along with the normal other types of beverages you would expect to see. As soon as we were seated, we were given a glass of water, and this was constantly topped up, which was extremely welcome. The staff were knowledgeable and friendly. There was a lovely relaxed atmosphere, and it's definitely a place we shall return to again.

Lovely chilled place for a drink. When we arrived we were shown to a table (offered different options) and waiter explained how it is table service. We ordered wine and it was lovely and priced on par with other bars around. Water on the table was regularly topped up. Music was playing but not too loud. Great little chilled place, would come back again to try the cocktails.

Cosy location very friendly staff and tasty cocktails. The setting is also nice. Prices range. Between £9 & £14. But you do have to pay an unannounced service fee @ £6. Which was not the case at the other bars in Birmingham

A hidden gem! We walked past and thought we'd give it a try for a cocktail, I fancied an espresso martini which the bar staff were more than happy to make, my partner has a few cocktails which he enjoyed. Staff were so attentive refilling water and checking how we were. Would absolutely recommend

This cocktail bar is a real gem. The drinks are incredibly delicious. The staff are so friendly and really know their stuff. They were even able to recommend some delicious cocktails that I enjoyed. I would highly recommend coming here if you enjoy cocktails!

Stopped for a quick drink. Looks very nice and outdoor seating great. Beer average. Service good. Late night but lacked atmosphere. Although nice not my cup of tea. Sorry 😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Went for brunch on Sunday. It looked good from inside and quite aesthetic. We were excited to be here but disappointed by lack of brunch options. We had a full vegan breakfast but replaced tofu with eggs because they didn’t have a veg breakfast option. Also ordered French toast that came with ice cream and that was quite nice actually. The vegan breakfast had tater tots few of them which our server dropped on the floor next to us while keeping the plates which is alright but she looked at it and then just ignored. I think that she could have atleast apologised or acknowledged. just kept the food on the table and that behaviour was off-putting. Lack of respect for the food and your customer. The service was really slow given that the place was almost empty on Sunday morning. Had to wait more than 15 mins for someone to take our order and also 15-20 mins after we finished the food just sitting waiting for someone to come and get the bill. Coffee was mild and disappointing. The only good thing for us was the French toast and the eggs with avocado. The bread in vegan breakfast was half burnt and too hard. and the mushroom didn’t taste good. Beans were good though. Disappointing experience. So many other options in mailbox for brunch!

Lovely looking restaurant. Friendly welcoming staff and a nice selection on the menu. We ordered the chicken burger - good flavour, well cooked but quite a small portion of fries. My son ordered the bao buns and a side of fried, they were nice, well cooked, quite sweet in flavour. My daughter had the halloumi fries and onion rings which she really enjoyed and I tried the shakshuka for the first time, it was quite nice, pretty spicy and a big portion, I couldn't eat it all. It could have done with more sourdough toast with it though to soak up the tomatoes and the egg. Overall a nice meal and happy Ilto tey something new.

Waited over half an hour for our food. Waiter didn’t bother bringing over table water as requested when ordering. The coffees arrived luke warm. The food arrived cold! Overall poor service, and very slow chefs. Won’t ever go back

I would say first off, the highlight was the service we received from Jess, even when the whole place was full she was attentive and made sure to chase up the bar staff for our drinks regularly. Had an amazing time at bottomless brunch there's a decent variety of cocktails which can be expanded for an added cost. It's best if you have a reservation as this place can get quite full, especially on a Saturday.

Did bottomless brunch. Have done many of these in different places and just feel there isnt much of a selection. The service was great though and they kept the drinks flowing

Jack who was serving us, he was superb! Always made sure the drinks at bottomless brunch were flowing - highly recommend 👌🏻

Came here to eat, rather than stay. We hadn't booked a table but fortunately there was space for our visit. I opted for the goats cheese pizza whilst my husband had the spicy vegan burger, which I tried and was very spicy! Our daughter enjoyed her pizza from the children's menu. All plates were emptied and we enjoyed our meals.

Really great experience, food and vibes were immaculate. Great place to just have that nostalgic afternoon with friends. Like you met your friends 10 years ago in the present. On the other hand. Tables and menus could be a bit better really. Bathrooms having lotion is a very nice touch and greatly appreciated. For those reasons really I'll give em a 5 star despite the issues. Please keep improving

Absolutely amazing place to eat. Sophia and Toby were so great and attentive while hosting our dinner. We were visiting as part of our 600mile charity cycle and the Plough could not have been more accommodating and welcoming. Excellent decorations, furniture, menu design and menu choices! TRY THE MAC CHEESE HASH BROWNS !!

First time visit. Burgers are a must. Great service. Good range of products. Everything a modern pub should be. This cigar smoker's only fault on them is a smoke free garden but fully understood

Didn't try the food so only 4 stars, but almost everyone else was tucking in to what looked like really nice food. Great mix of people in the pub, lots of families. If I lived in Harborne this would be my go to pub for drinks, meals or just a coffee. Next time I visit my daughter we will be eating here. Good selection of alcohol free drinks (I was driving).

We came here for dinner on Friday night and WOW! We were provided excellent table service from our waiter Connor and the food itself was delicious and very filling! The restaurant was beautifully decorated too. Thank you

Great staffing and friendliness, efficient with advising specials and any food not available on the menu early on. Great selection of tap drinks (Aspall cider). Food was a delight - Chicken Pole Bowl with seaweed, pickled red cabbage, guacamole, rice and a good splash of teriyaki / soy sauce. Will return!

really cool place, lovely interior and lots of space so never waited for a table. Good food and drinks too, albeit a little expensive but kind of expected for the uniqueness. would come again and again. bar staff super friendly too and encourage you to taste the more creative drinks before you buy 👍🏻

Food was delicious! Partner hard hearty English and I had the Benedict bagel, was lovely. Table was a little small for two people but overall would I go again? Yes!

Cherry Reds is a hidden gem! Lovely traditional Cafe Bar with nice decor and a cosy atmosphere. Menu selection is extensive and includes a wide variety of vegan/vegetarian options alongside traditional English food and drinks. The Diddy Breakfast was excellent quality and tasted delicious. Staff were friendly and helpful. An added bonus is the selection of cask and keg ales available. We'll definitely be back next time we're in Birmingham!

Amazing independent cafe, perfect Sunday breakfast / brunch. Great vegan options! Even had vegan American style pancakes! Will definitely be back, and really friendly staff.

This is my favourite cafe in Birmingham. It is always friendly, is so handy for New Street Station and serves good coffee and food. There is always something of interest on the walls. There are good veggie options. If you're in Birmingham then visit.

Lovely cafe open until late. We got a brew and cake before the theatre. Brew delicious, carrot cake ok, cream not cream cheese

The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, with warm lighting and comfortable seating that made it perfect for both catching up with friends or working solo. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making me feel right at home. The menu offered a great variety of options, from freshly brewed coffee to delicious pastries and hearty brunch dishes. I tried their avocado toast and a latte, both of which were absolutely delightful—the toast was perfectly seasoned, and the coffee was rich and smooth. The prices were reasonable for the quality, and the portion sizes were just right.

Great night out for my birthday, the drag queens were fab, not over the top but funny, food was good for the money, considering it’s the drinks you go for. Service was super, our main server was Kara, however all were good, we never had an empty drink for more than a minute. Definitely will return

Wow!! Booked for 16 people for a hen do, it was an absoulte blast, everyone absolutely loved it. Plenty of drinks chicken burgers and chips for everyone. Entertainment was brilliant and the music was good can’t wait to visit again!

Booked the 80's brunch, we had an absolutely fantastic afternoon of great music and entertainment. We throughly enjoyed every minute of it. Staff were friendly, efficient and we never waited for our drinks to be topped up. Will definitely be returning.

It was a really good venue we attended the drag bingo. The drag act was fun , everyone was nice and special shout out to the female bouncer on the door who was really nice and good at her job. A venue where you feel safe and secure is amazing , the bar staff were friendly , the guys who brought the bottomless drinks to our tables were brilliant . Would definitely return .

Such an amazing night. We went out for a family members birthday and the hospitality provided by Dondre, Ella and Sara was second to none. We all felt welcomed, they made sure we had whatever we needed and the atmosphere was a vibe. Even one of the staff was singing live which you don't see anymore. Definitely visiting again

Had a brunch here for a large party. Atmosphere was good and the singers were great, really engaged with the crowd and got everyone involved. But the booking was for quite a few people and we couldn't all fit at the table we were given, the theme music and act didn't start until 20 mins into our hour slot and the way it worked wasnt really explained to us, they were slow to "top up" the jugs and the food came out randomly. But we did enjoy the atmosphere and themed music and made the most of it anyway

Absolutely brilliant venue!!!!! 15 of us attended the bottomless brunch for my hen night and we all had an amazing time!!!!! Drinks flowed very well, music meant we danced most of the night and the drag artists were excellent!!!! They interacted with all groups in there and involved everyone, can't wait to go again!!!!!!

My friends and I had a fantastic experience here! The food was excellent and the drinks even more so! Our table was served by Beck who was incredibly friendly and charismatic she really made the night memorable for us. Will definitely come back here with my friend group again.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Fantastic Night Out! I had an amazing time at this bar — the atmosphere was spot on, with great music, a lively crowd, and that perfect mix of energy and comfort. What really made the night stand out though were Quinn and Martha. They were absolute stars behind the bar — friendly, funny, and genuinely welcoming. Quinn makes some of the best cocktails I’ve ever had — perfectly balanced and made with care — and Martha kept the whole place running smoothly while still taking the time to chat and make everyone feel at home. It’s rare to find staff who create such a great vibe, but they nailed it.

We booked here for a staff night out and we’d never been before. Quinn talked us through everything and looked after us the whole time, he was incredible. I can’t recommend this place enough but especially if Quinn is on shift. He’ll make sure your evening is perfect.

Has a great time in the karaoke room. Great selection of tunes and easy to compile a play list. However we ordered food with the room that arrived a couple of minutes before the session ended, which we had to then take down to the main area as the room had to be vacated. We were told that we had to leave almost immediately! Luckily we found a table. I understand that it's hourly slots but why they brought the food up for us only to carry back down didn't make sense before we had a mouthful. Maybe so kind of grace time would be helpful.

We were greeted by Charlene who was very professional and polite. Her service was amazing, we got were served in a timely manner. She went above and beyond. Overall her service was great, we will be back.

Millie is THE MOST accommodating host ever. She really made sure we had a great time and wanted for nothing. Definitely recommend a night out here and if you're lucky enough to have Millie as your house, you would definitely have the best night!

Had such a great night at Roxy Ballroom! The atmosphere was amazing, staff were super friendly, and the games made it even better. Drinks were reasonably priced and the music kept the vibe going all evening. Definitely my new go-to spot for a fun night out with friends!

A really nice large open space and bar. As not a proper building, rather cold. Would be amazing in summer. Drinks not cheap, and not exactly worth the money either. You'd expect £9 cocktails yo have enough liquor to warrant the charges. Food was ok, again pricey. Had live singing and the singer was pretty good. Defo worth a visit and certainly a good evening for bar hopping.

If I could leave less than 1 star, I would. Bouncers were aggressive and the place was dead. The ladies toilets were closed and no staff to ask. Will never go back there again. Absolute disgrace and the bouncers should be really proud of themselves on trying to intimidate women. How dare they.

As other patrons have already mentioned on here, definitely worth a visit if you are doing any kind of tour of the Digbeth area. A really friendly vibe, with a wide variety of punter "types" (if you know what I mean!). We purchased some food from one of the vendors there - they do that thing where they hand you a buzzer so you can carry on drinking and not hang around waiting for your order. The chips were simply stunning. A really chilled visit - highly recommended.

So this bar is great if your table is located in the middle area but it has a selection of tables separated around the outside of the main area cut off with huge boards. It took 45 minutes to get our first drinks ordered and delivered and they were wrong. After speaking with a staff member we were moved into the middle bit and then it was great. The band were fantastic, lovely atmosphere, great decor, easy to order more drinks and much warmer.

Great decor, food and cocktails. Price is okay and some of the cocktail are alittle bit small but made up in taste. Really enjoy the live music that they have going on at Saturday. Will deffo go again !

Unique space with the perfect addition of heaters to keep warm. Lit up by sparkling lights it sets the tone for a tropical romance. The food we tried was really full of flavour and a nice twist on street food. We had the chicken thigh burger with an Oriental pork belly chilli fries. It was delicious!! Really friendly staff. An all plastic venue so if you like a glass for your wine or beer probably re think your drinking whole. This wasn't a deal breaker for us.

This has the potential to be an amazing drinking space. The decor is fab, and the use of shipping containers is undeniably good for the planet. However there was a chill in the air mid evening (there's minimal roofing), and the heaters weren't quite powerful enough. Drinks are similarly priced to 'Ghetto Golf' next door. It is worth highlighting that all drinks were decanted into plastic, including our bottle of Prosecco. Which had we have been notified beforehand we would have gone for a bottle of wine instead (as you can imagine, it was pretty flat by time it had reached us).

The atmosphere is very beautiful- finally a spacious bar in Birmingham!! The service is professional, very kind and friendly and presented every cocktail nicely. All the cocktails are amazing. The black honey is one of the best cocktails I 've ever had (I like sweet). I'm definitely coming again to taste more cocktails.

Beautiful bar, unique aesthetic and tasty cocktails. Definitely would recommend a visit - the service was lovely and the explanation of the origins of each drink and presentation were exquisite. Will be visiting again soon.

Fantastic cocktails. The venue is lovely, and more spacious than the old JQ spot. Really thoughtful menu, with a clear rationale behind each drink. We had - Kintsugi - wild garlic margarita (special) - Noh - Shikki Clean, well made, and warm service too. Highly recommend. Also, dog friendly.

Amazing attention to detail and taste. We were amazed at the flavours in the cocktails. The guy who owns this place sure does know his stuff. Super enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We didn't really know what to expect, but loved the experience. Will definitely be visiting again as soon as we go back to Birmingham. Thanks 👍

Amazing cocktails, like nothing you’d find in your standard bar. EXTREMELY knowledgeable staff, knew everything. A rare find not to be missed!

Came here for drinks before an anniversary dinner and so glad we did. Ollie really took care of us, bringing out some prosecco to celebrate and wishing us a happy anniversary. He was super friendly and answered all the questions I had about the place. Amazing to know these guys have done so well even though they started in between lockdowns! The cocktails here are delicious, each different to the last and all tasting fantastic. All come with their own story to add that little bit more to the drink. The vibe inside was intimate due to the small venue but this only added to the character of the bar, which we really liked. Overall we really enjoyed out experience here, leaving happy and tipsy! All the best to Bar Ikigai staff for their move in November!

Love the great Japanese bar which can make any cocktail on Tokyo Station menu map into a mocktail for me. Luke the owner has plenty of great stories behind his drink making concoctions. A must visit as it's quite the hidden gem in JQ

The app said the tram would arrive at 13:31 this afternoon and it would take 5 minutes to Grand Central. The reality was that it arrived at 13:34 and it took 7 minutes for 4 stops. At least I caught my train, not bad. The ticket price to Grand Central was £2.80 for Adult Off-Peak.

A small quieter tram stop adjacent to Constitution Hill. Trams to New St Station/Grand Central take 5 minutes, to Wolverhampton about 40 minutes.

This is a firm favourite of ours. You know what you’re getting and it’s very consistent. The menu is easy to navigate with something for everyone and the cocktails are ace, especially at happy hour. Personally, I’d like more spice and stronger seasoning for my palate, but regardless, I enjoy my meal every time. The staff a lovely and attentive and we’ve never felt ignored or rushed.

Quite disappointing unfortunately. Sat down with my partner and they took 40 minutes to serve us. I would have no problem with this if they were busy but the staff were standing and talking to each other not serving anyone. When we were finally served we were given watered down drinks that cost 10 pounds each. It took more time after that before our food orders were taken. We gave our food order and then 15 minutes later they came back saying it wasn't available. Yes, it took 15 minutes for them to check if they had what we ordered as they stood around talking. When we gave them an updated order with what they actually had in stock the food they gave us was not at all worth the price they charged. Feathers in the chicken and the rice was undercooked. (see photos). 2 watery drinks, one small plate and one regular plate cost 50 pounds. Save yourself time and money.

Mixed feelings here. My husband and I came here for a lunch date on a Saturday. While we both enjoyed ourselves there were some hiccups that I felt could have gone better. All of the staff we interacted with were very nice however it was obvious they were massively understaffed for how busy it was at the time so the attentiveness wasn't there. When I ordered my meal and a tapas I specified I wanted the vegan version each time but it felt like I wasn't understood and I unfortunately turned out to be right when they took back my Elotes to check with the chef and then made me a new vegan one. Again the staff was nice and corrected it immediately. I had the horchata mocktail and while the flavour was quite good it felt ten times way too sweet. After sipping away at some I added water to it and it made it more suitable for my palette. The spicy rice was gorgeous and actually had some heat to it, which as a Mexican American here in England , I was surprised. The Ancho Mushroom Enchilada was just ok for me. It felt like they had overloaded it with salt and no other prominent flavour. Lastly the vegan Elotes were delicious. The cheese, mayo, and spice were lovely and the Elote was soo juicy!

Had lunch here in the run-in to Christmas, and overall it wasn't great. We were seated at a table with standard menus only, and noticed that was being done with other diners too. Fortunately we were aware there's a lunch deal menu and my wife went to get that instead. From the lunch deals, we ordered ourselves burritos, then ordered a Taco meal as a kind of side to share. Very glad I didn't order that as my main meal as it was tiny. I opted for the Pork pibil because I'm not sure if they keep the meats of the haallal menu and the normal menus separate, and I didn't want to mistakenly eat haallal meat. The food was ok, I expected a lot more flavour, but overall not bad or anything. The mocktails were quite nice, the virgin colada was lovely to be fair. My wife suggested we head to the nearby Christmas market for churros for dessert, but I insisted we stay put. She ended up getting the dessert menu herself and we ordered the Churros to share. They came without ice cream, so we had to ask for that again, which we received an apology for and were then given strawberry instead of vanilla as that was all they had left. It did seem the one guy who looked like he was in charge was trying to keep it together, but generally it was a bit of a shambles from his crew. I did witness another diner receiving even worse service, but that's not really my story to tell.

Hard to sum this place up. Service was intially really good but lacked a bit as time went on. Two of the four dishes we ordered weren’t available, alternatives offered which was acceptable. When the food came, one of the four dishes was wrong one, so now we only have one of the originally ordered items. Pointed out the incorrect dish but didn’t get rectified until we had finished our other food. I’d give it another chance based on the tasty food, maybe at a less busy time.

Amazing Ambience I Just Loved The Vibes and The Interior Of The Place. ‘Chris’ Was Very Sweet and Served Us Amazing Cocktails For The Night. Food Was Excellent Nachos Were Too Crispy and Prawn Tacos Were Too Yum With Burst Of Flavours. Overall Experience Was Too Good.

We were in a big group of 20 and they were able to accommodate us without issue, taking the downstairs area just for us which was really nice. The staff were also excellent and were very fast with service. Considering there were so many of us, it was great to see that they had prepared well. The food was mostly good, with some of the portion sizes being larger than I could handle. My picks were the cola wings, chicken mole burrito and the mango strawberry dessert. The cola wings and the mango dessert were my favourites of the night. The only slight downside to the experience was that there was a weird smell to the downstairs. You do adjust to it after a short while, but definitely something to be improved on. But overall a good experience.

3.5 The place is clean and nice. Their menu is simple and best value for money are their set menus. Food was good. The staff paid great attention to the person with allergies which is good. The cocktails were tasty tho we asked if the lava cocktail was looking like a lava lamp. Which was confirmed, but then came a juice looking drink because they had run out of the lava element. If you knew we ordered it for that, why not telling us? Anyway, overall good place but not outstanding in any way.

Very disappointing experience. Our first visit to this venue, server sat us down and I asked for something special as it was my wife’s birthday. Server recommended the Glitterbomb for her as he said it’s pretty cool in a test tube and smoking. For me, I ordered a Smokey Old-Fashioned. With four staff around you think this would have been quite quick to make. Server came over with the bill and thrust the card reader towards me. After paying and checking the bill saw that there is a charity payment of £1 and 10% (discretionary) service charge added. Not very appropriate if it’s just charged to your card before you’ve even seen the bill. But put that aside and who doesn’t like to support a charity and give good service a deserved tip! I paid for the drinks at 20:19. At 20:25 the same server asked if we’d ordered food! I said no but we’d like our drinks. My wife’s drink was finally made and put onto the side of the bar at 20:32 where we watched the smoke rise out of the ‘test tube’! And watched, and watched. Finally, when my drink was made at 20:36 and put on the side, the drinks were served but by that time there was nothing left to be seen of the special glitterbomb smoke spectacular! And for £12.50, you’d expect some fireworks. Staff on their phones and just disinterested made it a very poor experience. Needless to say we won’t return.

Every part of our evening at this venue was on point. From the event management to the on site staff, you literally couldn’t ask for more. The food was so good, fresh and tasty. The service was attentive and professional. I can’t rate this place high enough and I’ve eaten in a lot of places. Try it for yourself and enjoy.

Great bar, good food vibrant atmosphere, cocktails looked amazing too.

An impromptu visit to Aluna for a couple of drinks in the sun. Sitting canalside as the sun shines and you're served the best cocktails - nothing not to love. Speedy service, helpful and attentive staff and perfect settings - no notes! Special mention to Michael - service with a smile :)

Micheal was amazing, explained the menu, introduced us to the bottomless brunch. I had an amazing time. Next time you visit ask for Micheal

Fantastic place, a must visit. Great Service from Kurt and crew, well done guys keep it up. Will definitely be back

Went for a bottomless brunch, the live band was good! The food was decent nothing special, I'd say you'd go for the band and drinks more than the food. The cocktail were nice, a bit of a shame they ran out of prosecco. The staff were lovely and polite managed really well with how busy it was which is fantastic!

Great outdoor music venue. Good atmosphere and dancing. Didn't have to wait for drinks or food. Shame about the long black hair in my food and another on our cocktail jug.

Been here a few times now and this is the worst one I've been...Invited a few friends and for some it was their first time. Not a very good experience for them and me. The DJ was brilliant but as soon as the tributes (I say that loosely) came on then it went downhill...Bryan Adams was alright although it was advertised as coming on at 5pm and came on at 4pm! Then it was advertised to be Wham...followed by Madonna and Duran Duran...then system 80s....So when wham came on it was part of system 80s! I said to my friends that this looks like it's going to be system 80s doing all the so called tributes and so it was....extremely disappointed with this...and I'm afraid to me they didn't sound the best at all...Same time last year here I saw 6 or 7 different tributes and it was brilliant day...Its a shame coz it's a great place and the vibe is tremendous...but when ur paying £20+ and £7.50 a pint thinking ur going to see a few artists and end up seeing 1 isn't good. It wouldn't have been as bad if anyone could of let us know if the tributes couldn't perform. But in my opinion it was definitely miss sold...Hopefully next time we will see separate tributes and if not we will get told and maybe a reason why. All I can do is apologise to me friends for a awful experience. Let's hope lunar springs and magic disco do the same.

Took a short while to get going, but in the end was a pretty decent venue. Drinks were a tad on the expensive side. Security was good. Event was even better. Parking in the area also isn’t too bad if you know where to look.

Went to the Brunch on Saturday 1-3pm. From start to finish it was excellent.lovely food and efficient staff. I’m a pro music musician and I must say that the live band were incredible! Not only do they sound amazing, they interact with the crowd so well. Great job Luna. You definitely need to promote the Brunch more as it’s a brilliant day out.

What a venue! Great in summer as mainly outdoors. Went here for a private party with lots of vendors selling food and live music. The. Went for a Back to 80's day gig and that was awesome. Then went back to a back to 90's 12hr rave and that always just amazing. Like a mini fest with road closed and clubs across the road playing different genres. Can't wait for the next party/rave!! Bring it on.

We did the day time sing along! Fab afternoon. The drinks were flowing and so generous. Staff were fab, Jay was very attentive!! Food not the greatest but not what you come for. Was a fab atmosphere, great for a hen do!

Went on a Sunday and have the Caribbean carvery. Paid £19 I believe. With £5 deposit each when booking online and that paid for drinks. I liked that we had the choice of 2 soft drinks rather than 1, for the alcoholic drinks one was allowed for each person with a paid deposit. We went for the rum punch which normally cost £8.00 something but we got it for £5 with the deposit accounting for it. The rum was definitely in it which was good as you feel you’re getting your moneys worth. I did want it weaker and so the waitress (the only one serving! Well done for that) kindly gave me a glass of orange juice which worked well for me. My partner enjoyed the original strength of his drink though. The food provided a big plate and I like that you could have meat and fish. The food was okay. For example unfortunately the plantain I had was dry. Nonetheless I enjoyed the time there and staff were friendly.

First time visit, read reviews so wasn't expecting the best experience. But it was better than expected food was lovely, filling and tasted authentic. Had some of everything apart from the Yorkshire pudding which I personally didn't think went with it. I was only expecting a soft drink for my deposit but it did cover one glass of wine, larger and rum punch or two soft drinks. On the down side didn't like feeling rushed some of our party unfortunately came late, we were prompted to get our food then told we only had an hour left, so didn't have time to finish our drinks or have a pudding or coffee or relax and let the food go down. But despite this I would try it again.

The tapas was absolutely delicious and the portions were a good size. I recommend the quesadillas and the cheese plate ( which was huge). The cocktails were 2 for £12 on a Friday or Saturday- we had an Old Cuban which is a cocktail with Prosecco, not too sweet or sickly. Service was quick and friendly. Lovely Latin American music makes for a great atmosphere.

Come here most weeks. Normally a good pint. Had a bad pint from upstairs, which tasted like soap, I understand that happens so we tried to alert the staff. Something might have gone wrong with the line etc… The older lady with short/no hair refused to believe us and told us to go away. It’s quite sad as this was a spot we used to love to visit!

The manager (lady in her 40s/50s with no hair) is so unbelievably rude. I ordered a drink which tasted like soap, she told me to leave and then called me a liar. She ended up calling security all because I had a dodgy pint. Would not recommend and think she should not be hospitality.

Not at all what I was expecting. Firstly, the rice and peas - what an insult to the Caribbean! - Definitely not authentic - I think I counted about 3 kidney beans in my very bland white rice. Secondly, the single ‘jerk’ chicken wing was nothing to write home about I’m afraid the curry goat was mainly bones. Finally, it was disappointing to see that the portion sizes varied from customer to customer. My small plate of food was definitely not worth £20, I mean 1 chichh my en wing! While some plates had 2 - still a stingy portion, with dessert incurring an extra charge. Calling this a carvery creates a certain expectation to help yourself and be full, not to be served small portions, school dinner style. Not for me.

Great friendly staff, amazing food, atmosphere was a little flat at first, but we were there quite early. When we left just after 10 the place was filling up and a great vibe beginning.

My new favourite cocktail bar in Birmingham. The autumn menu is very good. Very cosy vibes and the music is 👌.

We were looking for a speakeasy and were happy to have found this place. We thought it was a gin bar, but it seems like that’s not the case anymore. The drinks menu is great and has options. It goes from appetizers, to main, to dessert for drinks which is a great way to present it. We wished there was a very special speakeasy entrance, but liked this place nonetheless. Nice cocktails.

Great bar but what made it exceptional was Ricky. Incredible service. Super knowledgeable. Very kind. Great conversations. I was visiting from Boston, MA, USA and he really stands out. Ask for him when you visit!

A gorgeous little tucked away cocktail bar. The best cosmopolitan I've ever had. A wonderful and knowledgeable owner and extraordinary cocktails. Highly recommend you go through the black door.

Every drink made was one of the best I've ever tasted. It's not just rumours Aman runs the best cocktail bar in brum!

Cool place , nice cocktails !!! 🍸 Kind staff The place is quite narrow , small . So you should book in advance or just see if they have sit !!! I don’t know about booking fee , friend booked the place ! Nice place !

This cool little cocktail was a treat. The staff are welcoming and the decor is super cool. As a drinks and cocktail lover, I was very impressed by each cocktail I had - damn impressed!

Staff gave a chair for my partner who needed to sit down. Acoustics were good. Glad both doors were open due to no other ventilation or air conditioning. Good priced drinks also.

Nice, intimate place for live music in central Birmingham. Good selection of beers, friendly staff and nice vibes. Saw Gathering of Strangers here, fantastic band!

Was surprised at how small this little hidden gem was. We went to see Casey McQuillen on the last night of her tour. It was friendly, felt safe and was a really fun and cosy venue to see emerging artists perform. Drinks were priced well but standing up all night was tough on my back but didn’t spoil the night for me.

I love this place, the best indie gigs and the staff are always so friendly. £7.20 for 2 long drinks with a student discount is great 💯

Fantastic small music venue and bar. One of the venues on The Decoy and Freeze The Atlantic tour. Great sound engineer! Good wide choice of drinks available.

Cracking pint of Jute (SALT) IPA, guy behind the bar sorted the Wifi for me as well. Happy to come back whenever I'm in the area

My sons gigs here are so good as well as other live bands. Great vibe and atmosphere.

Great pub. Loads to do...welcoming friendly staff. Good entertainment and excellent food at a fair price. Found my new favourite place in moseley

Amazing perfect stop for drinks before a meal down the road, polite staff the ladies that served us on Tuesday night were amazing we ended up coming back after dinner for drinks again. I enjoyed the atmosphere and we stayed till closing.

Cannot comment on whether there is food but other than that it is a lovely, lively fun pub. The staff are lovely and service is quick. We are a group of childhood friends who pass by at least once a month to have a blast at pool to have a competition between us and we have so much fun the same time.. See you again soon

Had tasty snack 'Dirty Fries' topped with tinga sauce, vegan mayo & crispy tobacco onions. The chips where nice and crispy. Good portions. Price was moderate at £6. Also had nice cup of tea and a cup of latte. Good relaxing atmosphere. The table service was quick and efficient.

Just the trick. When it comes to cool One Trick Pony Club is ice cold. The cavernous interior has all the right cues: industrial lighting, retro art work, exposed brickwork and warm neon lighting. The staff complement the relaxed atmosphere, whilst still maintaining a high level of professionalism, care and attentiveness. What of the drinks and food? I can vouch for the latter. There is a large host of contemporary Pub dishes. The focus is on burgers and pizzas. The burgers being their speciality. They cater for veggies and vegans across the menu. I can vouch for the pizza, falafel pocket and torte. High quality and well presented. Given the huge host of seating arrangements inside and out, One Trick Pony is a great place to lounge and enjoy a social gathering.

Your best local pub in Moseley. Live football , pool tables A nice enticing menu and array of drinks The place is kept really clean and has a large spacious seating area for different groups of people. A number of screens with different matches over the weekend and week days. DJ special nights as well. If there is queue at the bar you can order from the table with a QR Code .

We come up annually as a cricket trip and this pub is always one of my highlight of my visit. From a great selection of IPAs, to the shuffle boards. It is always a great vibe.

A lovely city centre pub, at the top of Bennet's Hill, full of old world ambience and atmosphere. Lots of quality real ales, IPA's and Ciders. Staff were attentive and knowledgeable. Nice and clean and accessible. Can't comment on food as didn't eat here, but enjoyed a few hours with my daughter sipping and chatting. Will definitely visit again again!

We came to Birmingham for the weekend to see the Black Sabbath bridge and bench where they had tributes to Ozzy and Black Sabbath. Also the Birmingham museum to see the Ozzy exhibition. Afterwards we stopped in to The Wellington for a few drinks. A huge selection of beers and the service was great. We met some people there that were visiting for the same reason. We had a great time with them and really enjoyed our time at the pub. I would recommend a visit here while in Birmingham.

Met a friend I’d not seen for many years. Decided to meet here as we had worked across the road in the old Midland Bsnk ( yes that long ago). The Black Country pub group are doing a fantastic job in these pubs. Great selection of beers and ciders. Nice atmosphere and a good price for the beer. Even sell old style cobs.we had a great afternoon.

This was our "local" while visiting Birmingham for 11 days. Great selection of beers on cask. No food but plenty of food options nearby.

The carvery was enjoyable and I will return. The only thing I noticed missing was stuffing unless they ran out the evening I was there.

Beautiful traditional pub in Birmingham city centre stocked with a huge range of cask beers. Part of the Black Country Ales franchise, the excellent landlord, Nigel knows how to keep a beer, and has recently introduced a selection of cobs for customers who choose not to bring in their own food! A choice of bars and an outdoor seating area, plus lovely friendly staff make the Wellington a must for anyone visiting the city.

Our favourite pub in Birmingham. Has a fantastic selection of real ales and the added bonus of a couple of friendly cats roaming around the pub! We mainly go each week to see the cats, but the beer is also fantastic and atmosphere is very friendly with very welcoming staff.

Wowzars! Damn! That was soooo good, I had to refrain from moaning after the first bite in case people got the wrong idea. Absolutely smashes any place to eat at for Detroit pizza! The buffalo chicken was amazing; such a great option and I favoured it more than my “go to” which is usually of the “pepperoni & hot honey” variety. Pizzas are incredibly filling, soft thick base and a crunchy exterior. The service is top class with attentive and polite people! Located under a railway bridge this is a hidden gem within a few minutes walk from new street station. It is worth mentioning that the pizza is served on Wednesdays from 5pm and on Saturdays from 12pm only.

Great beer selection and incredible deep dish pizza and sides - best pizza I've had in a long time! Dog friendly too.

Fantastic craft beer and a really nice deep dish pizza. Very convenient for moor street station and highly recommended.

Great chill atmosphere and very friendly staff. High quality food, served quickly. I enjoyed the fluffy base and crispy crust of the Corner Shop pizza, unfortunately the classic was just too oily and messy for my taste. Along the right lines but missed the mark for me.

Great beer bar under the railway arches, decent selection and good amount of indoor & outdoor space. Also great burgers from OPM next door!

Great little spot near Moor street station. Friendly service, handy burger place next door and good selection of beers. Arguably the best craft beer spot in central Birmingham.

Excellent Chicago Deep Pan pizzas (although more like topped focaccia), good beer, nice vibe.

One of the best pubs in Birmingham. Very near the city centre but in a residential area. An authentic pub that looks great inside and out, has an excellent range of drinks including rattlers cider which is rare outside the southwest and good service. If you like proper pubs this is highly recommended.

We found this lovely place by chance. We had a drink and I had a lovely pot of tea. I was informed by the lovely lady at the bar that it had been taken over and totally refurbished about 4 years previously. But it looked well looked after and lovingly cared for. A welcoming atmosphere friendly staff and a very good selection of beers and spirits as well as an interesting range of real ales for the ale fans. I noticed they hosted quiz nights and a bingo game night. So a great local pub. We will come here again.

Just a 2 mins walk from the ICC and well worth it. Visited this venue when I was in Birmingham for a couple of nights, staff were so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the beers, 10 hand pull pumps and all on as well.

Still feels like a proper pub. Great choice of ales and good value rolls as well. Would recommend 👌

Lovely pub Great location behind the Library. Felt like a proper pub too, good selection of ales, cozy, really friendly staff. Definitely waaaaaay better than the usual spots around this area

Love this place has ambience, style and is a traditional old pub with excellent choice of cask ales. Cheese and onion cobs are tasty and the young blonde barmaid is very friendly!!

First time back since Black Country Ales took over the running of it. Its had a refurbishment but keeps most of its back street local charm. Excellent bar person on hand to assist if you find the incredible choice of cask ales overwhelming.

We had an absolutely amazing experience last night, a table for 6 , food was excellent, service was excellent, music was excellent. And what really impressed us was we were allowed to keep the table for the evening to come and go to the dance floor, felt like VIPs , your venue and staff including the security was absolutely friendly and professional, can’t wait for another occasion to return. Thank you 🙏🏼 so much.

I recently visited here on a Saturday night for a friends birthday. There was 10 of us and we also booked food. We sat upon the mezzanine area where you had a separate bar and toilet area from the main club. The food was nice, ate bread with salmon for a starter, lamb dinner with potatoes for the main followed by the cheese board. After eating the band starting playing and they were really good. We were able to leave our stuff at the tables whilst going down to the dance floor area, and return to the bar and toilet which was great as you avoided long queues. Overall it was a great night.

Had fun last night. I went all by myself. Old folks who love live jazz and highlife music will enjoy the place better. The securities are good, bar tenders are nice. Overall 8/10

Great gig watching Incognito. The food really was top notch, very reasonably priced and served beautifully hot. The staff were absolutely fantastic, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. One of the nicest whole evening experiences we have had for a long while. Well done The Jam House

It appears the security here need to learn some simple manners. This security guard completely ruined my evening for my mother’s hen do and first experience of Jam House. There is a way to speak to people for a simple demand and also important to not intimidate people in doing so (still unsure why it took two of them to ask me to stand up). Likely won’t return.

Booking with First Table meant that we were able to choose from the 3 course menu for a fixed price of £20 (if I remember correctly) There were some great options to choose from with our meals being cooked to perfection. This is a really good opportunity to taste some delicious food in a unique establishment.

Amazing venue we visit last Thursday every month food entertainment atmosphere Mauricio and the group and all the barstaff and security are just incredible. Thank u guys

Lovely little gem of a pub! Well worth a visit if you like a traditional pint. Two ways in, one from Penfield Street, and the other from New Street - right next door to Greggs. You can even take your own food down into the vaults, and they will provide a plate, knife and fork!

Unfortunately this pub has now closed. Was my go to in Birmingham as so close to new street and always had a great selection of beers.

Great wee hidden gem in Birmingham city centre. Especially if you like Belgian and German beers. 🍺

**Unfortunately now ceased trading** So handy for New Street station when you can find the doorway (No. 84) Choice of cask ales on sale varies but they tend to be from the more obscure breweries.

Great little find right near New Street Station. Good vibe and atmosphere and a nice selection of ales available. Excellent display of beer bottles around the bar on shelving and the wifi password made me chuckle.

I’ve been to this pub a few times now, love it as it has lots of real ciders on all year. On this visit it has 11 on. This pub is easy to miss as the entrance is small so you can easily walk past it. They don’t do food but your are allowed to bring your own. Highly recommended if you like proper cider

Popped in for a swift pint before athletics and ended up having 2. Its welcoming pub, down some steps. Opening out to a single room with hops on the ceiling, old photos of the area and a fantastic selection of cask ale. I think six when I visited. The bottle selection was tempting but I didn't have a lot of time. Barstaff and clientele were friendly.

A 10/10 time at bottomless brunch. The perfect opportunity to get boozy with mates. We were created by Victoria who brought incredible vibes, smiles and service throughout and a new member of staff, Emily, who couldn’t have been more friendly or attentive. Big up the whole team from yesterday!

We booked for bottomless brunch. Initially the table was not ready til so the bar staff gave us 2 complimentary glasses of Prosecco for the inconvenience. Once we were seated upstairs we then had a lovely waitress called Eleanor who was so lovely, friendly, smiley and had great customer service! She was fast with our drinks. Food was tasty and they catered to our needs. I told them I hate fish so they gave me a gyoza instead which I was super happy with!! The music was good vibes as well. I would definitely come back especially if Eleanor is our server!!! <3 x

We had a brilliant time at Dirty Martini, I can’t wait to come back again. Our waiter was extremely attentive, we were never left without a drink. The food was fab, and the drinks were better. Thanks to our waiter Ash for making our experience fantastic! We will be back.

We paid for cocktail brunch which was £45 for my daughter's birthday. The food was between 5 people and we only had 2 birdcages with 5 savory small items, which we felt was a poor offering. However, what we had was tasty and the flow of cocktails was definitely worth the price! The waiting staff were fabulous and very accommodating. We were booked into a booth which we felt was very hidden from the rest of the venue. Music was ok and we enjoyed using the photo booth, but apart from that there wasn't much atmosphere. I would visit the venue again as the cocktails were delicious but wouldn't eat there...

Was recently here for my sister’s hen-do bottomless brunch. It was a fabulous evening only made possible by our amazing hostess Charlotte and Lara (I believe) who was making the very generous drinks. Charlotte was so patient and attentive with us as a party of 9, helping me coordinate this hen party, as a frazzled, over-heated organiser lol. We crashed in 30 minutes early to decorate and she was fabulous from the get go. The kitchen were amazing with dietary restrictions and the nibbles were tasty. I think I accidentally at a birdcage to myself 💀💀 (it's 1 per 2 people). The drinks were awesome, with a solid variety, they definitely encouraged us to get our money's worth! Dirty Martini seriously has this process down to an art form. We almost had the place to ourselves (weekday) and it felt like we were never without a drink lol. Everyone had tons of fun and the bride-to-be was glowing. Literally couldn't have had such a successful evening without all the staff that were present the evening of 29/04/25. Thank you so much to you all, I can definitely recommend Dirty Martini Birmingham 💛💛 -Becky

I think it was Vic & Ash that served us..great cocktails....constantly flowing during our bottomless slot and afterwards! Plus food was GREAT too! Chocolate Martini is definitely the ONE to go for! But strawberry is also hella delicious 😋 Quiet on a Sunday afternoon.....so perfect for pre drinks before going on to next venue!

Fabulous bottomless brunch. Food was the best I've had at a bottomless brunch, with options for everyone. Drinks were really tasty and constantly topped up. Staff were really friendly and attentive. Decor was stunning (but I'm a sucker for a neon sign!)

Great little venue. Didn't realise it was card only till we had already arrived from Sheffield. Bar was quick even when busy. Toilets are like an ice skating rink though. If you love a dark grimy feel venue this is the place.

This was a fantastic venue for clubbing, with a luminous blue interior contributing to its atmosphere! The lights really add to the electric feel, counter is well presented and drinks were on point too.

We visited in May 2024 to see Zheani. The security did their job properly, the staff were friendly and efficient. Felt safe here. Music was preem, and I'm talking about the speakers. I stood in front of the speakers and it was an amazing experience. I didn't bring my cat to this experience, so he has no opinion on the matter.

Great compact music venue. Excellent sound quality and amazing atmosphere. It is a little disconcerting that the male bathroom (urinal area) doesn't have a door though.

This place is fantastic for live music, we went to see High Fade, live music in all rooms! House band was also very good. Overall we had a really good night, mixed age group of people. I highly recommend it as a venue, we didn’t eat.

Gorgeous place! Friendly staff, live music & great cocktails

Mama Roux's is definitely one of Digbeth's (hidden) gems, it never disappoints. Flowery backyard, delicious and instagrammable cocktails, the best DJs vibing all the disco music, bottomless brunch, gigs, comedy, raves.. Love it there. one of Birmingham's most iconic venues ✨️There's always happy hour at Mama's 🥳 2 for £12 cocktails until 8pm 2 double spirit mixers for £15 from 8pm Live Music every Friday & Saturday 🎶 Free Entry

What a great way to spend your Saturday afternoon. We booed for the world of whisky tasting session for 1 and a half hours. Renata was a superb host and so knowledgable. She really turned my world of whiskey drinking on its head. Thoroughly enjoyed by myself and the other half. She’s now converted to whisky drinking 😳😂

'The story of Japan' Whisky Tasting was a great experience. 6 whisky samples and a lot learned about the whisky & culture of Japan. Our host Renata was fun, engaging and extremely knowledgeable. It is very good value for money & I'm looking forward to booking my next tasting experience at Grain&Glass!

I brought a world of whiskeys tasting as a gift for my fella. It was brilliant, learned a lot, the host was super knowledgeable, funny and engaging, had many giggles and tried some incredible whiskey! Highly recommend, even just for one drink, lovely place and incredible staff!

Went for a whisky tasting event which was £40 per person but well worth it. Stayed for extra drinks afterwards and loved it so much we joined the Whisky Club. Per person spend reflects the event cost. Individual drinks are £8-10. Did not have food so can’t comment but got the impression that food was mainly served as an accompaniment to the whisky. Tasting event was in a separate quiet back room and very well done by an extremely knowledgable whisky specialist. Looking forward to our next visit.

Just love this place. Whether it's a work event, with a few mates or just pop in solo for a wee dram for a chat, I always feel at home. Great atmosphere and really passionate staff who always make you feel welcome. And even if you think you don't like whisky I'm sure the team can convert you... :)

Heavy rain drove us into this surprising bar in The Jewellery Quarter (FYI soon to be relocated near to Jewellery Quarter train station). We didn’t realise it was primarily a whiskey bar and had 2 lovely gin and tonics and a Kavalan whiskey. They also had Guinness and few other beers and wine. Megan was very welcoming and informative about whiskey; how to smell, taste, drink and appreciate it. She even tempted two of us non whiskey drinkers to try new locally distilled “Spirit of Birmingham”. We will be returning to new venue when they are rumoured to be having rum and chocolate tastings! 🥃 🥳

One of our absolute favourites to visit with fabulous hospitality from Aaron and an unrivalled choice of whiskeys. The cheese and whiskey pairing was amazing and cant wait to return before the big move.

Best afternoon we have had ❤️ I booked and afternoon tea for me and my mum, we turned off and were seated then all of the menu and extras were explained to us. The afternoon tea itself was so yummy, nothing like the usual sandwiches, pastries were warm and flavourful. The scones came out after, they were warm and pre-cut for us so no mess (the small things!) and came with clotted cream and jam. We didn't feel rushed and enjoyed a glass of wine after. Staff were lovely, very chilled atmosphere. Will certainly go back!

We celebrated our wedding party in Kilo Zero, and I would say our experience was incredibly amazing. The place is indeed beautiful, so we didn't get stressed with the set-up. It is truly a good venue for special events, and the most important thing is that they have the nicest and most helpful staff. Kudos to Jamie and Mark, who've been very nice and helpful. We really appreciate you two. Thank you so much for staying with us from the start to the end of our party.

22 of us attended KiloZiro for our friend’s 50th birthday celebrations. We had the most amazing time! The booking process was easy, the owner Jeanette was very accommodating and was contactable, which when organising an event for that many people when you’re not used to it, it’s very reassuring. The Signature afternoon tea was delicious, very in sync with the season and venue. It was a nice touch that the servers kindly explained where our food was sourced and how this contributes to sustainability. The servers were always available and checked on us multiple times, no one was without a drink or waiting for anyone to come over. It was a beautiful afternoon and a perfect setting for a catch up with friends and an opportunity to celebrate a special day. Thank you so much :)

Really delicious afternoon tea for a special occasion, the choices are something a bit different to what you might usually get (no finger sandwiches!) but it was super tasty and a good talking point. Very generous as well for the price including a drink. Service was great and very flexible dealing with us as a larger group.

Hosted a private party at Kilo Ziro and they were absolutely amazing. The bar is so tastefully decorated and stylish. The owners couldn’t be any more accommodating helping us sort out catering, decor and a saxophonist! In the run up to the event the team were great answering questions and getting all the information they needed. On the night they were amazing - friendly bar staff, bespoke delicious cocktails and a really good vibe. Would really recommend for private hire but also look forward to returning to try some of their delicious cocktails! We had the best night ever - thank you Kilo Ziro

I visited here on a recent visit to Birmingham. I'd heard about their vegan, Christmas, afternoon tea menu via Birmingham Vegans fb group. The servers were v.friendly and met all of our needs, checking if there were any allergies. We ate mini bites with tea and alcoholic beverages, too. In the bathroom, it advertises special events occurring throughout the week. I'd revisit this restaurant.

Delicious cocktails lovingly crafted by the extremely knowledgeable and friendly bar staff. It also boasts a wide selection of craft beer and wine. The cheeseboard was phenomenal, the olives were to die for, and the artisan truffles were probably the most pleasurable things I've ever put in my mouth. There's a lot of passion in this place, and it certainly shows. Can't recommend it enough. Happy birthday, guys!

Fantastic to see this place open again and back to what it should be. A traditional JQ Pub with great atmosphere, beers and food. They have knocked out the bar and corridor to make one large room which works perfectly. Didn’t try the food but the menu looks great. Well done to the new owners.

If you've not been since it reopened you should definitely try and visit. Pub is spotless, everything is top notch. I had Eggs Benedict, best I've ever eaten and as expected good choice of ales 🍺

Absolutely beautiful place, we went for a drink and they where doing there Christmas menu for photos so they had loads of food cooked and gave it to everyone who was in pub for free and I will definitely be booking our Christmas dinner the food was absolutely beautiful. Definitely recommend 👌

Nice pub with an excellent outdoor area with dart boards and large TV screen showing the Rugby. One real ale on offer Wyre Valley HPA which was good. For the cider lovers Lilly's rhubarb slushy was available which I've never come across before. A mixed age group in attendance and the ambience was good natured.

My husband and I Visited here for the first time a month ago and we liked what we saw. Its a nice relaxed pub with friendly staff and the bonus is the lovely beer garden at the rear, it's like a little oasis. This is a pub that my late father used and it bought back some lovely memories. We will be back especially to see young Harry who was very pleasant and helpful.

The Lord Clifden is one of my favourite pubs in Birmingham. Great atmosphere, good drinks and plenty of space whether you are there for a quiet pint or a lively night. The staff are brilliant and on my last visit I met Alex behind the bar. Super friendly, quick service and just a genuinely nice person to chat to. I cannot wait to go back.

An Absolute Gem in the Jewellery Quarter. The Clifden is easily one of the best pubs in Birmingham and without question the highlight of the Jewellery Quarter. We’ve been coming here regularly since it reopened (probably more than we should) and it just keeps getting better. The renovation is gorgeous, full of charm and character while still feeling fresh and modern. What really makes The Clifden special is the atmosphere. The staff are genuinely lovely, always welcoming and happy to help. The manager, Will, is a great laugh and even gets involved in the Wednesday pub quiz. He hasn’t managed to beat us yet, but fair play to him for trying! The food is fantastic and really well priced. They mix the menu up now and again too, which is great to see and keeps things interesting. The beer garden is absolutely beautiful. It’s one of the nicest outdoor spaces in Birmingham, complete with a sheltered area and a dart boards which is a brilliant touch. The range of drinks is always solid and has a bit for everyone. The Budvar is my personal favourite and can't beat a frozen cider in the summer! All in all, The Clifden is the kind of place you walk into once and end up coming back to time and time again. If you’re nearby, do yourself a favour and pop in for a pint and some great food. You won’t be disappointed.

Great bar, loads of character and very popular too Seating available but get there early as you'll struggle to grab seats if you want them. Good music, chilled atmosphere. Bar can be busy, but the service is quick and efficient too.

What a beautiful evening, Friday night with free upgrades on bottomless brunch! We had a lovely amazing server called Gabriel who brought the vibes and such a lovely atmosphere when taking out orders and serving drinks. Really wid we could have hiven him a complimentary drink but he was so professional! He really made our evening! Friendly face and amazing personality! We were also sat to our table by Anges who was very welcoming and accommodating! We will definitely be returning! The food and service was amazing! Just what I needed for a Friday night after a long week!

Greesh is the best waiter ever! Very accommodating, kind and attentive to our needs and concerns. She deserves a pay rise or promotion. Excellent customer service!

A really enjoyable lunch with my eldest daughter, who ate lightly but enjoyed a 241 cocktail. I had a taste and can confirm it was vibrant pleasure. My crispy chicken burger was a stack and more than satisfied my hunger at the time. Busy but not overcrowded. Having Greesh serve us was a pleasure. Attentive while giving us time and space. If I was local to Birmingham I would definitely visit again.

The staff are always very pleasant and helpful, nothing is too much trouble. Attentive but not annoying, asking about drinks at the right time. You get two hours for a bottomless brunch instead of the usual 90 minutes. The atmosphere is great, everyone is having fun. The staff are very gracious when your time has ended when they ask you to move on. As always the Pitch and Piano is avery enjoyable experience.

Really enjoyed my time in pictures and piano. The service was amazing. The server zee was really polite and very patient with us amazing service props to her. The bartender rose She was also amazing. She made me the best old fashioned that I have had just amazing. Amazing time.

Ash was fab! He helped me decide on what I wanted to eat and didn't disappoint. It qas such a busy night and he was just a great addition to the atmosphere. Nothing was too much trouble. Thanks Ash for making our visit better 😊

Can’t say I really enjoy the food here, they have a really good selection of dishes, but it’s too international, they tend to be a master of none. At least the baked cheese and bread was tasty. So was the crispy duck and wrap. Overall environment is really nice and relaxing. The staff are really nice and friendly. After dinner, we went downstairs for some drinks and listen to the live singing performance, which was really enjoyable.

You need a reservation to dine inside as it gets very busy. The starters we had beforehand were absolutely delicious. However, I can’t say the same for the sirloin steak, it was supposed to be medium but arrived very overcooked, most likely due to the kitchen being under heavy pressure. To make up for it, they kindly offered us dessert on the house.

We stopped in for my daughters Birthday... Had a nice meal, all of my family enjoyed the hanging kabobs but my fish and chips was not as nice as I've had in the past. May have been a bad choice seeing as their clame to fame seems to be the kabobs or the sausage and mash (that my daughter loved). Took very good care of us and my sons nut allergy... very thankful!

Went on Saturday 2pm and they had plenty of tables available indoors downstairs. Speaker system was fantastic indoors to stream the musician’s live music at the porch outside. Very lovely staff too. Food wise, I ordered the Chicken Schnitzel and my friend got a chicken burger. The schnitzel was smaller than I thought for the price and was quite dry. Had to douse it in the mint sauce which was thankfully fantastic if you love mint. My friend really enjoyed their burger and it did look fantastic. The fries have a garlic seasoning on it which was pretty decent too. I wouldn’t mind coming back again. Saw a table got the kebab which looks really good, would like to try that next time.

One of the best restaurants in Birmingham! We had an amazing time there with my friends ! Excellent food and exceptional service from all the staff there! Would definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone and I will definitely visit again soon. Thank you all for making our day so beautiful!

The Botanist at Gas Street Basin delights with its location and atmospheric interior full of greenery and light. It's a perfect spot for a daytime coffee or an evening beer by the canal. The staff are polite and discreet, and the atmosphere invites calm and relaxation. A pub with soul and character.

One of the best spots for evening drinks in the sun in Birmingham. Decent drinks prices for the city and good bar staff. Tip, two tables along the side (151 and 152) get the sun the longest

Ok, so.. the food we had was fantastic. I ordered a steak, medium with Sweet potato fries. The steak was cooked perfectly and was very tasty, had a beef dripping (I think) to go along with steak, that was 😋 The sweet potato fires where cooked well and crispy. Now the service, I was not impressed with the server we had at all, she couldn't crack a smile, didn't speak, and just had a very stone faced expression, now I am not sure if she has things going on, or just hates her job but something going on. I've given 1 star for service due to the person who collected our plates, she at least smiled. The actual place itself was lovely and very up market. Will i be back? not to this location in Brindley place, only because of the service. Food wise, I would but I am sure other locations will have the same food on the menu, so would rather go elsewhere.

Popped in on a weekend lunchtime for a beer. Nice location by the canal, impressive decor, mostly great, friendly service, but I will always remember this as the place where I first broke the £8 barrier for a pint! Also, we were told the coffee machine was broken, so no flat white for the wife, who settled for a Pepsi Max.

Walked here from Edgbaston with our elderly Nan, food and drinks are lovely and the staff are so caring and kind! Our Nan bless her was feeling quite cold and one of the lovely girls on the bar kindly donated an unused apron for her to cover her legs with to keep her warm.

As I approached All Bar One I instantly knew I would have an amazing evening. I can say I was not disappointed. From the start the atmosphere, food, drink and service was outstanding. Joanna looked after our table and can honestly say, she made us feel welcome. The whole staff and service was the best I have had. Food! Well this was incredible, Hot, well presented and very tasty. I will certainly be frequently visiting this venue. Thank you Joanna for making it a well worth evening out.

First time visit to All Bar One at Brindley place this afternoon, lured away my usual route into the city centre by an offer on the drink and has failed to disappoint. The bar was quiet at this time of day (around 2pm), but plenty of staff to around with no waiting around to be served. Those who served were all friendly, polite, and felt unrushed to chose my drink from the wide selection available. All of the other staff also come across as happy to be there, and keeping the place tidy as go along. Sat inside for most of the visit, where the music was at a comfortable level, air conditioned and felt relaxed throughout entire visit. Modern and trendy atmosphere to the place. The outside seating area looks nice too, with the plants surrounding it to separate it from the the busy Brindley Place main area making it a little more private when sitting outside. I did not eat here, so can't comment personally on the food. But had a flick through the menu and there is plenty of choice. Others orders coming out looked pretty decent though, will consider having food sometime in the future and update the review more then. Toilets were clean, fresh smell and generally well kept. Nice touch to have a moisturiser available too at the sinks! Did spot one of the soap is missing, but the other sink had plenty so not a problem. Only issue from entire visit really is the O2 WiFi, it was so slow to load anything that I couldn't use it and had to tether laptop to mobile phone instead. Could do with it being taken a look at, as the bar was quiet so doubt many were using it. Does not impact my rating as had my mobile to hand as a fall back though. Spotted a small but tempting selection of cakes at the end of the bar - may have to try these at some point when passing for a coffee! Enjoyed my visit, and will be very happy to return!

Typical All Bar One. Great location. Spacious interior. Fantastic decor. Super kind and helpful staff members. Great choice of wines and beers as well as other alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. The floor a bit sticky tho (Sunday morning visit)

Lovely breakfast I had on Monday morning, I liked the place and the atmosphere, i tried the vegan breakfast, it was so a big dish and delicious, also for drinks I had have flat white and tea for my friend. Hope you find this post helpful♥️.

A friend and I stayed overnight at the hotel and decided on a last minute trip to the restaurant, and needless to say it was a great decision. We were met with great service and our server, Sangeeta, was exceptional. The food quality was great (we were especially raving about the grilled broccoli!) and was overall a great experience. Definitely looking forward to our next visit!

A very disappointing experience for my brother's birthday yesterday. There were 7 of us that came for a meal and some of us had travelled from Northampton just to visit this place. The food we received was not good quality at all, for the prices that they charge. We ordered a mixture of starters, mains and sides and nothing was good. The food was bland the worst of it being the "pan seared prawns", which literally tasted like they had just been defrosted in the microwave. No seasoning and no colour on them at all, they had definitely not been anywhere near a pan. I sent them back and asked for them to be cooked with some butter and garlic, some kind of seasoning. They returned them a few minutes after with what seemed like some oil drizzled over them and some black pepper on top. So disappointed I could not eat them. The rice that comes with the meals is microwave rice and was still clumpy. Also the fish taco starter, don't bother ordering that. I've never seen a piece of fish so thin. Even a birds eye cod fillet has more fish in it, sent back. You are basically paying for the batter. It was obvious that the ribs had just come out of a bag and the Korean chicken was completely bland. My brother sent that back and asked for a burger instead and then the burger was not great either and had way too much cheese. By the time my brother did receive his burger the rest of us had all finished eating and our dirty plates were still on the table, I had to ask for the table to be cleaned. The meal was just terrible all around. I had to complain as this had completely ruined my brother's birthday. We were offered a round of drinks that took around 25 minutes to come and then had a small discount off the bill. Still ended up being charged over £150 for this appalling food and service. I would say the food here is the same standard as a Wetherspoons. Even TGI's or Harvester is much better and that says a lot. I would only recommend this restaurant for somewhere to come for drinks as the cocktails were delicious and to take pictures as the decor is beautiful.

2nd time here (1st experience not great as seated inside corner where AC directions on our side with no view request to be moved but says all reserved areas cannot accommodate x4 even plenty of empty tables available till end of our lunch) on Friday visit Lady staff allowed us to seat in the bar to have meal so we can enjoy the view but found out table has not cleared with previous dinner plates lying around even 2 guys hanging in the bar just chatting when approached the guy seemed not nice just took the dirty dishes and not bothered to wipe the table. Don’t want to ruin the family celebration day so we just get on and enjoy the food (btw food were delicious served after 20minutes and still cutlery not provided ahead of time even they know you’re there for lunch)

Well firstly, thanks to you all for your swift service. Thank you to Lucy as well for her service and for looking after us. The food was great from starter to dessert. The presentations were a 10/10 and the food was full of flavour. The only thing that wasn’t good was the lamb from the kebab dish for the main course, but that is neither here nor there, but you replaced it swiftly with a chicken skewer, so thank you and we all appreciate for all you did for us today. The music was amazing, I was singing along to it so we were all comfortable. Thanks again and I do recommend this restaurant to others. But the main thing is I would love to come again!

While staying at the Genting Hotel, I had breakfast at the Sky Bar & Restaurant. The open buffet had all the English breakfast staples…scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, beans, hash browns, mushrooms, and tomatoes all cooked well. I also tried the Eggs Royale and Eggs Benedict from the à la carte menu, both rich and tasty. Pastries were available too, though they were just average. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, with a lovely view from up top that made the meal even more enjoyable. The location is comfy and convenient, service was friendly, and prices are fair. A solid breakfast spot if you’re at Resorts World.

Didn't eat here but the food looked great. Came here for a drink whilst on a recent family day out at Resorts World. Very nicely decorated and a nice, chilled out atmosphere. Great view from our window seat. Toilets lovely and very clean. Will definitely come here again next time we are at Resorts World and will be trying a couple of cocktails!

We were shown to our table fairly quickly, the server was on the phone when we approached her. Service was polite and we were given ample time to decide on our meals and drinks. We were served reasonably quickly and when the food came it looked very good. Unfortunately my halloumi in my halloumi wrap was overdone, so was fairly chewy rather than soft. It tasted fine and wasn't burnt so I did not ask for it to be replaced. Our onion rings did have several that were overdone and with little onion in so were very crunchy. I did not raise this as we were in a small group for a celebration. Overall I would go back as the seating and atmosphere was good and it was pretty busy for the day we visited. There was parking available and we did not have far to travel from the car park to the restaurant.
