About This Pub

You know, when I think about Hennessey's Bar, it's got this real energetic feel that just draws you in – picture a place in Digbeth where the crowd's up for sports screenings, live bands, and summer events that keep things exciting all year round. The food's a highlight too; those wraps are spot on, and it's clear from the reviews that folks appreciate the variety and decent quality, especially when you're out with a group. The staff often go the extra mile to make sure you're sorted, and with plenty of room inside and that beer garden for nicer days, it's easy to see why it's popular. But, let's be honest, it does have its off moments – like when it's heaving during a big event, you might end up waiting a while for your meal, and sometimes things don't go smoothly with orders or service. Still, with an overall rating pushing 4.4, it's a solid choice if you're after a balanced night out; just pop in with your mates, keep expectations realistic, and you're in for a treat.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The atmosphere is absolutely buzzing, especially during sports events and live music nights – it's a proper lively spot that gets everyone in the mood.
  • They've got a cracking selection of food, with those wraps like the halloumi and chicken tikka ones stealing the show; it's decent grub that hits the spot after a few pints.
  • Staff are generally friendly and on the ball, making you feel welcome from the get-go, whether you're there for a quick drink or a full night out.
  • Loads of space inside and a smashing beer garden with a big screen, perfect for soaking up the sun or watching the game in comfort.
  • Prices are fair and there are some great offers, so you won't break the bank for a good time – it's wallet-friendly for a night with mates.
Cons
  • There can be a bit of a wait for food when it's packed, like during big matches, which is understandable but can put a dampener on things.
  • Occasionally, they mix up orders, as one person mentioned getting the wrong dish, though they do fix it quickly enough.
  • Service isn't always spot on; some staff are quicker and chattier than others, so it might vary depending on who's on shift.

Pre booked for cup final to get a seat and a meal. Glad we booked ahead as it was pretty buzzing! There was a wait for the food but that was understandable considering there was a big match on. I've been here before on various occasions. Sports events are great here, the atmosphere is good. The food was absolutely fantastic. Staff are pleasant. The place is clean and comfortable and the loos are spotless. Brilliant night.

From the door security to the bar staff, absolutely brilliant. Had a great time from when we arrived until we left. The band was awesome and had a goid ol dance even with people I didn't know.. Fab place and fab night. I travelled up from Wales for that night only and was 100 %worth it

Came here Saturday with a large group of people including children. Lots of space inside for us all. Service good and a great selection of drinks. We all ordered food which was decent. The wraps were our favourite. We had the halloumi wrap and the chicken tikka wrap. Great atmosphere. Kids needed to be out by 7pm which was understandable with it being a city centre venue. I have been a few times before and can highly recommend as a place to visit in Digbeth.

Lovely place, food was okay, they sent me the wrong food but was quickly rectified. Watched the football and after they had karaoke which was fun. Good evening/nighout overall

Some staff are friendly and quicker service than others. Nice venue, plenty of space indoors to watch sports and nice beer garden with big screen. The venue is generally clean and well presented. Prices are fair and decent food with offers.
