Ale Hub - Shirley Pub in Solihull

277 Longmore Rd, Shirley, Solihull B90 3ER

About This Pub

You know, when I popped into Ale Hub in Shirley, it really struck me as one of those neighbourhood spots that just gets it right – it's all about bringing people together over a cracking pint. The staff are so approachable and eager to chat, which makes every visit feel personal, and they've nailed the drink selection with plenty of fresh ales and options for non-ale drinkers too. I loved the vibe, especially with those lively events like quiz nights and live music that keep things entertaining without being overwhelming. It's a family-run place that's clearly passionate about reviving the best of the local pub scene, and the dog-friendly policy is a nice touch for anyone out with their pet. On the flip side, starting service at 1 PM means it's not great for early outings, and it can fill up quickly on busier nights, so you might need to plan ahead. All in all, it's a solid choice if you're after a laid-back evening with mates, and I'd say it's worth a visit for the warm hospitality alone – just go with an open mind and you'll likely have a brilliant time.

Popped by for a post dinner drink. Good selection of drinks including cocktails & ales. Sadly I was the driver so just a soft drink for me but planning a return on a quiz night. Plenty of on street parking.

Lovely little pub that I visited for the first time as they had a deli board offer with 4 drinks for an amazingly bargain price of £20. I shared the board with a friend who ate the cheese parts. The sausage roll was delicious, I’ve thought about it a few times since. I’m not an ale drinker myself so opted for the Orchards cider. Really enjoyed my visit there. The atmosphere was small but very welcoming and hope to visit again soon.

Great setting for a grazing board evening. A choice of beer or wine together with a good size food board. I chose the white wine, a New Zealand Sauvignon and the gentleman went with 4 ale’s. Music of my era in the background, a lovely evening by everyone. Would definitely book another.

The atmosphere here is nice, the staff are extremely friendly and even the owners visit here and are very nice people. My sister and her partner visit here every Thursday and maybe another day in their spare time. Everybody appears to be very accommodating and the most important thing is that nobody has an attitude. From the regulars to new customers, everyone is nice...

Brilliant venue for a night out! So warm, welcoming and friendly. We had our Christmas party night there, around 45/50 of us and the 2 lads running it that night were faultless. They did a fantastic job of serving everyone quickly, joining in the banter and clearing up after us (sorry!) Regular and themed nights - next were coming for the quiz or bingo! Thank you for a memorable evening.
