About This Pub
Ah, The Windsor – it's one of those Birmingham gems that just draws you in with its cosy feel and that genuine warmth from the team behind the bar. You step inside and it's all about the buzz of conversation, the cheer of live matches on the telly, and a solid selection of reasonably priced drinks and meals that won't leave your wallet weeping. I've heard from folks who've had a right laugh there, with staff like Josh or the manager making you feel like part of the furniture, sharing stories and a bit of Brum nostalgia. The food's generally a winner, especially those hearty burgers and pizzas that hit the spot after a long day, and being slap bang in the city centre makes it dead easy to pop in. But, let's keep it real, it's not all perfect – sometimes dishes don't quite live up to the hype, like a steak sandwich where the bits aren't piping hot, and on busier nights, you might find yourself waiting a bit or struggling to get noticed. Still, for anyone after a proper pub experience with good craic and affordable options, it's well worth a visit; just go with the flow and you'll have a cracking time.
Pros and Cons

-
It's got a brilliant atmosphere, perfect for catching live sports or just enjoying a lively vibe with a pint in hand.
-

-
The food hits the mark in many ways, with tasty options like burgers and pizzas that leave you satisfied and coming back for more.
Cons
-
Food quality can be a bit hit or miss, like when the steak in a sandwich turns up warm while the veggies are stone cold – a real shame on an otherwise good meal.
-
It gets awfully busy at times, which means service might slow down and it's tough to flag someone down if you need something sorted.
-
While the atmosphere is buzzing, that same energy can make it feel a tad overwhelming if you're after a quiet catch-up with friends.

Great experience at The Windsor! The food was on point—I had a wrap that was perfectly crispy and full of flavor, while my friends really enjoyed their pizza. The beers were cold and refreshing, just what we needed.
Brigitte and Dale provided top-notch service, making sure we were well taken care of the whole time. Their friendliness and attention to detail really made a difference. The atmosphere was lively yet comfortable, making it a perfect spot to unwind. Definitely a place worth visiting again!
A very busy pub of the main high street of Birmingham. Great atmosphere drink is reasonable priced. Food was ok had a Philly steak and chips. The chips were hot but steak was warm and onion and mushrooms were very cold. Shame. Would I recommend going there of course but I will avoid the Philly steak. The bar was too busy to go up and make a point. However 2 out of 3 ain't bad.

The Windsor is an off the main path of the high street of Brum town centre. Very busy nice atmosphere. Drinks reasonably priced. Food. Was ok. But had the Philly steak sandwich with chips. steak was warm. Onions and mushrooms were very cold. Bar was too busy to talk to them about it. But hey 2 out of 3 ain't bad. Would I recommend going there. Of course. But think I won't have the Philly steak next time.
First time here and I will definitely come again. Friendly staff, great atmosphere and the food was very tasty. I had the Hot Chick Stack burger, the portion was big and really good value for money overall. The pepperoni pizza was good too.
