The Brasshouse Pub in Birmingham

About This Pub

Ah, The Brasshouse in Birmingham – it's one of those places that really grows on you once you step inside. I have to say, the location is an absolute winner; nestled right by the canal, it's ideal for a sunny afternoon pint or watching the world go by. The staff are always chipping in with a smile and quick service, which makes it feel like a proper community spot, especially if you're there for the beers or to catch some live sport. They've got a good range of options too, from tasty breakfasts to Sunday roasts, and the beer garden is a nice touch for when the weather's on your side. On the flip side, though, the food doesn't always deliver as promised – I've heard tales of dishes that look a bit thrown together and don't quite match the price tag, and it's frustrating when they run out of things on peak days. Plus, you might bump into a few less-than-polite types, which can spoil the mood a tad. Overall, it's a solid choice for a casual get-together, but I'd suggest going in with realistic expectations and maybe sticking to the drinks if you're not in the mood for any surprises.

Pros and Cons

Pros

The location is spot on, right by the canal and near the Black Sabbath Bridge, making it a lovely spot for a relaxed drink with a bit of scenery.
They've got a great selection of beers and drinks, perfect for catching up with mates over a pint or enjoying live sport events.
The atmosphere is welcoming and lively, with friendly service that makes you feel right at home, especially if you're popping in for a quick bite or a full meal.
It's family-friendly during the day, with options like a hearty breakfast or Sunday roast that hit the spot, and features like a beer garden add to the charm.
Plenty of extras like Wi-Fi, outdoor seating, and being dog-friendly make it versatile for different occasions.

Cons

Food quality can be a bit hit or miss; some dishes might not live up to the prices, like a pastrami sandwich that felt underwhelming and poorly put together.
They've had issues with running out of popular items, which is a shame on busy days when you're looking forward to something specific.
The crowd can sometimes include a few folks who aren't the friendliest, which might put a damper on your visit if you're after a peaceful pint.
Accessibility isn't perfect everywhere, with steps at one entrance that could be tricky for some, even though there's level access elsewhere.

We visited this place for an afternoon drink. But the menu looks really good and we enjoyed the atmosphere here. So, we came back later for a meal 😋 I liked the fact it was next to the canal alongside the Black Sabbath Bridge. A few steps at the one entrance but a level access around the other end of the building. Also disabled toilets. We liked the fact that they do cater for children and they have there own little menu. The staff were friendly and chatted easily with us. Telling us about the entertainment they have on weekends. I noticed quizzes too. So a good all round family fun pub. We really enjoyed our food. And can't wait to visit again. 👍🏻

Food was disappointing, given the prices. They had run out of fish, surprising given that we visited on the Saturday of a bank holiday weekend. The pastrami sandwich was £9 and looked thrown together with half the bread missing, and the bread was nothing more than a supermarket wholemeal loaf. The chicken pie was totally uninspiring for a whopping £17. We won't be going back and wish we'd gone somewhere else, particularly given the choice in this part of Brindley Place.

The Brass house seemed the best place to bring kids in, meal time. Great range of beer. Fish and chips with a pint. Wide, colourful, ideal drinking place. I would suggest eating before I came.

Friendly service and decent beers on. Great location, nicely done up inside, and plenty of seating. Only popped in for a pint so can't comment on the food. Also, can't really fault the pub for this, but there were quite a few rude patrons lacking basic manners which kind of made it somewhere I wouldn't be returning to in a hurry.

Visited here with my wife for breakfast, had the Full English Breakfast and it was very nice, quick service and reasonable price, would come again if in the area 👍
