The Queens Arms Pub in Birmingham

150 Newhall St, Birmingham B3 1RY

About This Pub

Ah, The Queens Arms – it's one of those classic British pubs that just feels like a home away from home, tucked right in the bustling centre of Birmingham. I have to say, what really stands out is the welcoming atmosphere; the staff are always chipping in with a smile and a chat, making you feel right at ease whether you're there for a quick coffee or to settle in for the evening. The drinks menu is spot on too, with a wide array of beers, ciders, wines, and even some seasonal cocktails that keep things interesting – and it's ace that they've got options for those watching their alcohol intake. Plus, being dog-friendly and having extras like a beer terrace, board games, and a big screen for sports, it's ideal for a relaxed get-together or a lively match day. On the flip side, though, it's a bit of a letdown that they don't offer any food on site; you can bring your own, but if you're after a proper pub grub experience, you might find yourself heading elsewhere. And while the drinks are solid, some folks have mentioned it's not the best for local beers, which could be a miss if you're after something truly regional. Overall, it's a solid choice for a good time with friends, as long as you keep your expectations in check for the eats and brews – I'd pop in again without a doubt!

Pros and Cons

Pros

The atmosphere is wonderfully warm and welcoming, making it a perfect spot to catch up with mates over a pint.
They've got a cracking selection of drinks, from exciting beers and ciders to wines, cocktails, and even low or no-alcohol options – something for everyone.
It's dog-friendly, which is brilliant if you're popping in with your furry friend, and there's a cosy beer terrace and upstairs seating for a bit of variety.
Great for watching the match on the big screen or enjoying a quiet evening with board games – adds a fun, community feel to the place.
Smack in the heart of Birmingham city centre, with free WiFi and options for functions, it's conveniently located and versatile for different occasions.

Cons

Food options are pretty limited – they don't serve any, though you can bring your own, which might not suit everyone looking for a full pub experience.
The beer selection lacks local brews, which is a bit of a shame given the nearby options, so it might disappoint ale enthusiasts seeking something unique.
Operating hours seem a tad inconsistent from what I've seen, so it's worth double-checking if you're planning a visit outside peak times.

Had a pint of Guinness which was exceptional. Nice pub with a cosy little beer terrace and upstairs seating.

Very clean pub and friendly service behind the bar. Sadly lacking in choice for any local beers, very disappointing considering the plentiful options of breweries across the street. Nonetheless a no frills pub that's good for one lunch time pint to pass the time.

I recently visited Queen’s Bar and had a delightful experience! While the focus is primarily on drinks—of which there is a great selection—it's worth noting that there isn't any food served. However, the option to bring your own food is a fantastic touch, allowing for a more personalized experience. The atmosphere is inviting, with a nice ambience that makes it a great spot to unwind. I loved the variety of games available, including Ludo, Uno, and Dominique’s, which added an extra layer of fun to the evening. The staff were exceptionally friendly, making us feel welcomed and well taken care of. A special shout-out to Liby, who was particularly nice and attentive, enhancing our overall experience. Overall, Queen’s Bar is a great place to enjoy drinks with friends, play some games, and bring your own snacks. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a relaxed and enjoyable night out!

Absolutely lovely traditional pub with a great atmosphere. Staff are always friendly and welcoming. This is one of our locals, so we are always greeted by name which always cheers us up. Great place to watch sports matches, pool table and outdoor area and board games for those quiet evenings with friends. They now also have a refurbished upstairs area with additional seating and a dartboard. The food is also very delicious and reasonably priced and the whole menu is vegetarian. The 'honey' chilli chips and halloumi fries are an absolute favourite bar snack of ours to go with our pints. Definitely worth popping in to see if you're nearby!
