96/100
Tonight Josephine in Birmingham is a fabulous cocktail bar with cracking service, delicious drinks, and a fun, vibrant vibe that's perfect for a memorable evening out.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant and make you feel right at home with their warm, efficient service.
  • Cocktails are top-notch and full of flavour – especially those unique ones like the milkshake variety that everyone's raving about.
  • The atmosphere is spot on with its bold, pink décor and sassy vibes, perfect for a lively night out with friends.

Areas for Improvement

  • With opening times starting in the evening, it's not the best spot if you're looking for a relaxed daytime drink.

Boom Battle Bar on Broad Street is a lively Birmingham gem for groups seeking games, great drinks, and a cracking atmosphere – ideal for a fun night out with friends.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – friendly, chatty, and professional, making your visit feel welcoming and fun, just like Ellie and Jacob did for some groups.
  • It's packed with exciting games like axe throwing, electric darts, crazy golf, and karaoke, perfect for a laugh with mates and creating memorable moments.
  • The cocktails and happy hour deals are spot on, with 2-for-1 offers that keep things affordable and enjoyable, especially during those extended sessions.
  • The atmosphere is buzzing with great playlists and throwback tunes that transport you back to the nineties and noughties, adding a nostalgic vibe to the night.
  • With a stellar 4.8 rating from heaps of visitors, it's clear this place knows how to deliver a good time, based on all the positive feedback floating about.
Areas for Improvement
  • There can be issues with activity timings, like not getting the full slot if the group before runs late, which might cut into your fun.
  • Some experiences don't quite match up to other locations, as one person found it a bit disappointing compared to their previous visit.
  • It gets pretty busy, so without booking ahead, you might end up waiting or missing out on the best bits of the evening.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The cocktails are absolutely world-class – innovative, creative, and packed with flavour, making every visit feel special.
  • The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a speakeasy vibe that's perfect for catching up with mates or enjoying a date night.
  • Service is spot on; the staff are friendly, attentive, and really know their stuff, which makes the whole experience that bit more enjoyable.
  • It's in the heart of Birmingham, easy to get to, and they've got a great selection for groups or special events like whiskey tastings.
Areas for Improvement
  • It only opens in the evenings, so if you're after a daytime spot for a quick pint, you might have to look elsewhere.
  • The bar can be a tad tucked away, which adds to the charm but might make it tricky to find if you're not familiar with the area.

94/100
The Colmore is a charming spot in Birmingham's heart, serving up cracking beers and tasty pizzas in a swanky setting that's perfect for a relaxed catch-up with mates.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The beer selection is absolutely spot on, with a fantastic range of craft ales from Thornbridge and other UK breweries, and they're reasonably priced too – a real bargain in Birmingham city centre.
  • The pizzas are fresh and delicious, made with top-notch ingredients like Italian flour and their own brewery IPA, and you can get one for under £13, which is a treat.
  • The service is friendly and quick, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • The venue's decor is stylish and inviting, with marble tables, chandeliers, and cosy corners that give it a luxurious New York bar vibe, plus there's a pool table downstairs for a bit of fun.
  • It's kept spotlessly clean, from the seating areas to the toilets, which always makes for a more enjoyable visit.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can sometimes feel a tad quiet, especially if you're after a lively atmosphere, as it's not always buzzing depending on the time you go.
  • Being walk-in only means you might struggle to find a seat during busier times, so it's worth popping in early to avoid disappointment.
  • With closing times around 11 PM, it's not the best spot for a late-night sesh if you're in the mood for something that goes on longer.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely brilliant – it's a beautifully refurbished Victorian pub with a warm, welcoming vibe that makes you feel right at home.
  • The food is spot on; they've got mouth-watering small plates, burgers, sandwiches, and pub classics, plus specials like Yorkshire pudding burritos and Sunday roasts that are real crowd-pleasers.
  • Drinks selection is top-notch, with a great range of indie beers, cask ales, world lagers, fine wines, and spirits – and the bar staff are spot on with their recommendations.
  • Loads of fun events to keep things lively, like DJ nights, live music, quiz evenings, and even open mic nights; plus, there's a massive beer garden with a giant screen for watching sports.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and accommodating, always going the extra mile, whether it's for families or just a quick pint.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's a tad adult-focused at the moment, with no dedicated kids' menu yet, so it might not be the best spot for a family outing if you're after child-friendly options.
  • The operating hours seem a bit variable, especially on Sundays, which could catch you out if you're planning a late visit.
  • As it's a popular spot, it can get quite busy during events or weekends, making it tricky to find a seat if you pop in spontaneously.

The Good Intent is a charming Birmingham spot with cracking beers, a friendly vibe, and thoughtful extras like allowing your own grub – ideal for a relaxed catch-up over drinks.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The beer selection is absolutely spot on, with their own craft brews and some familiar favourites that really hit the mark for any ale enthusiast
  • It's got a wonderfully welcoming atmosphere, complete with comforting decor and a bit of good music that makes you feel right at home
  • The service is top-notch – the staff are courteous and make you feel looked after from the moment you walk in
  • They've got a flexible approach, like letting you bring your own lunch to pair with a pint or a gin and tonic, which is a lovely touch
  • The bar food is excellent, especially those sandwiches from nearby – a real treat if you're peckish
  • Its location near Snow Hill station is spot on for a quick stop-off after a day out, making it super convenient
  • The place is kept clean and tidy, right down to the loos, which always adds to the overall enjoyment
Areas for Improvement
  • The opening hours can seem a bit inconsistent at times, so it's wise to double-check before heading over, as it might close earlier than you'd hope
  • While it's charming, it might feel a tad cosy on busier evenings, so if you're after more space to spread out, it could get a bit snug

Bacchus Bar is a charming historic pub in Birmingham with a cosy, themed atmosphere and brilliant service, though prices might make you think twice.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The unique themed rooms and historic decor really create a magical, atmospheric vibe that's perfect for a memorable night out.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • There's a great selection of drinks and tasty British classics on the menu, ideal for enjoying with friends or family.
  • Its central location in Birmingham makes it super convenient, and the lack of mobile signal encourages proper chats and socialising.
Areas for Improvement
  • Drink prices can be a bit steep, especially in the city centre, which might put a dent in your wallet.
  • The beer selection doesn't always offer much variety, so if you're after a wide range of styles, you might be disappointed.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • Fantastic selection of real ales and ciders – always plenty of options to choose from, like rattlers cider which is a rare find outside the southwest
  • Super friendly and knowledgeable staff who make you feel right at home, with brilliant service and helpful advice on the drinks
  • Welcoming and buzzing atmosphere, even on a quiet Tuesday evening, making it a lively spot without feeling too crowded
  • Spotlessly clean inside and out, with a well-maintained and lovingly cared-for interior that adds to the charm
  • Great location near the city centre, just a short walk from places like the ICC, making it ideal for a quick stop after sightseeing
Areas for Improvement
  • The website seems a bit unreliable and hard to access, which might make it tricky to check details like menus or events in advance
  • There could be some confusion around the operating hours, as the info varies a bit, so it's worth double-checking to avoid any surprises

Scruffy Murphy's is a cracking rock pub in Birmingham with smashing beer and a welcoming crowd, but keep an eye on the drink prices and the temperature – it's mostly a winner!
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The beer selection is spot on, with pints like Guinness getting high praise for being great value and tasty.
  • The staff are incredibly welcoming and friendly, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • It's got a brilliant rock-themed atmosphere with a jukebox that takes card payments, perfect for fans of quality rock music and a cosy vibe.
  • The place is clean, well-organised, and nicely decorated, giving off that authentic Birmingham rock pub feel.
Areas for Improvement
  • Drinks can feel a bit pricey at times, like shelling out nearly £9 for a pint and a half, which might not live up to expectations of being cheap.
  • It can get uncomfortably warm inside on busier nights, almost like they've cranked the heating up too high, which puts a damper on things.

So 10 months ago someone wrote a review saying the drink were cheap. Well for a pint of cider and half a larger £8.90 isn't cheap at all! Great venue but not worth paying for in drinks

1000 Trades in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter is a brilliant little spot for top-notch food, drinks, and a buzzing atmosphere with regular events – it's my go-to for a casual catch-up with mates.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely spot on – from delicious Sunday lunches to guest chef pop-ups, it's all about quality and variety that really hits the spot.
  • They've got a cracking selection of drinks, like four real ales, seven craft beers, and eleven natural wines on tap, perfect for a relaxed pint or something a bit more special.
  • The atmosphere is so welcoming and quirky, with live music, comedy nights, and improv events that make it a lively community hub without feeling overwhelming.
  • The staff are genuinely friendly and attentive, always ready with a smile and great service that makes you feel right at home.
Areas for Improvement
  • The operating hours can be a tad confusing with varying closing times, so it's worth double-checking if you're planning a late one, as it might close earlier than expected.
  • Being in the Jewellery Quarter, it could be a bit out of the way if you're not already in that part of Birmingham, and with moderate prices, it might not be the cheapest option for a quick drink.

Pros and Cons

  • The food is absolutely brilliant – think delicious Caribbean-inspired dishes like goat curry and fritters that are full of flavour and great value for money.
  • The service is so warm and welcoming; it's like popping round to a mate's house, with the staff and even the manager making you feel right at home.
  • They've got a cracking lineup of events, from quiz nights and cocktail deals to food trucks and reggae Sundays, which add a fun buzz to the place.
  • The atmosphere is spot on, blending the historic charm of a Victorian pub with modern touches like comfy seating and plenty of natural light, making it perfect for a relaxed catch-up.
  • It's a family-run spot with a real community feel, which shines through in the positive vibes and high ratings from fellow visitors.
Areas for Improvement
  • The operating hours can be a bit inconsistent or on the early side in places, so if you're after a late-night session, you might need to plan around that.
  • With all the events and popularity, it could get quite busy at times, meaning you might have to book ahead to snag a table without any hassle.

  • Prices are sensible and affordable, especially for well-kept drinks like Guinness, so you can enjoy a proper pint without worrying about the cost.
Areas for Improvement

Post Office Vaults is a cracking real ale pub in Birmingham, boasting an impressive beer lineup and a cosy, traditional feel, though you'll need to BYO food for a full experience.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The beer selection is absolutely brilliant – they've got up to eight real ales on tap, plus a massive range of foreign beers from places like Belgium and Germany, making it a real haven for anyone who loves a good pint.
  • It's in such a handy spot right in the heart of Birmingham, just a couple of minutes from New Street Station, so it's perfect for popping in after work or while exploring the city.
  • You can bring your own food and they'll sort you out with plates and cutlery, which is a lovely touch for turning a quick drink into a proper meal.
  • The atmosphere feels welcoming and traditional, like stepping into a hidden gem where you can relax and chat over a beer, with plenty of positive vibes from fellow visitors.
Areas for Improvement
  • They don't serve any food on site, so if you're after a bite to eat, you'll need to grab something from nearby and bring it along, which might not suit everyone.
  • There have been a few grumbles about strict door policies, like turning away groups with anyone under 18, which could make for an awkward start to your night out.
  • The overall beer range has taken a hit from things like Covid and Brexit, dropping from over 365 varieties to 212, so it's not quite as extensive as it used to be, though it's still one of the best in the area.

The Lost & Found in Birmingham is a delightful spot with a magical botanical vibe, serving up tasty food and cracking service, though it's not without the odd hiccup like inconsistent cooking.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely enchanting, with a whimsical botanical theme in a stunning grade II listed building that makes you feel like you've stepped into a secret garden – perfect for a relaxed catch-up with mates.
  • The food is generally spot on, especially the starters and brunch options; folks rave about the delicious dishes and how they're made with flair, using fresh, seasonal ingredients to give those classic British meals a creative twist.
  • Service is top-notch, with friendly staff who go the extra mile to make you feel welcome – like that server who checked in with a warm smile and made sure everything was just right.
  • They've got some cracking deals, such as bottomless brunch with unlimited drinks like Aperol Spritz or Prosecco, which is brilliant for a fun day out and keeps the good times flowing.
Areas for Improvement
  • There can be inconsistencies with food preparation, like one review mentioning undercooked beef that was slimy and fatty, which might put you off if you're after a reliable meal.
  • The cocktail selection seems a bit limited at times, with not as many options as you'd hope, even during those 2-for-1 deals, so it might not satisfy if you're a real cocktail enthusiast.
  • Prices are on the moderate side, but some might find it a tad steep for what you get, especially if things don't quite hit the mark on the food front.

The Old Joint Stock is a real charmer in Birmingham, blending historic elegance with a lively pub vibe, making it a top pick for a relaxed pint and good company, though it has its busy moments.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The historic building is an absolute stunner, with its Grade II listed features and that magnificent glass dome that makes you feel like you're stepping back in time.
  • The staff are generally so friendly and welcoming, really adding to that cosy, homely vibe that makes you want to linger.
  • They've got a cracking selection of drinks, including unique ones like tea-infused ale, so there's something to suit every taste.
  • The atmosphere is lively and buzzing, perfect for a good catch-up with mates or enjoying a show in their theatre space.
Areas for Improvement
  • Service can be a bit inconsistent at times, not always as attentive as you'd hope, which might leave you waiting a tad longer than expected.
  • Some dishes, like the steak and ale pie, feel a bit overpriced for what you get, so it might not hit the spot if you're watching your wallet.
  • It gets pretty busy, especially on weekends, so you might need to book ahead to snag a table and avoid the crowds.

Albert's Schloss in Birmingham is a cracking spot for a good time – think delicious Bavarian-inspired grub, stellar service, and a vibrant atmosphere that makes it a go-to for mates' meetups or family outings.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely spot on, especially the Bavarian feast with tasty options like bratwurst, pork belly, and schnitzel – perfect for sharing with mates.
  • Service is top-notch; the staff are really attentive, handling things like allergies with care and making sure everyone has a great time.
  • The atmosphere is just brilliant – it's got this impressive, beautifully decorated vibe with open flames and seating that's ideal for groups, dates, or even a relaxed family Sunday roast.
  • They've got an extensive menu with plenty of variety, so there's something for everyone, whether you're after a hearty lunch or something more festive.
Areas for Improvement
  • A few dishes can be a bit hit or miss; for instance, the pork knuckle was on the dry side, and the pretzel and swirl didn't quite live up to the hype.
  • Some might find certain items underwhelming, like the pretzel not being anything special, which could leave you wishing for more on the snacks front.
  • It can get lively and party-like at times, but on Sundays it's more chilled out, so if you're after a quiet spot every day, it might not always hit the mark.

The Head of Steam in Birmingham is a cracking spot for beer enthusiasts and foodies alike, with a welcoming vibe and plenty of options, though it can get a bit pricey and service might not always be spot on.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The selection of drinks is absolutely brilliant – they've got an incredible range of craft beers, real ales from all over the world, cocktails, and even eco-friendly wines, perfect for a proper pint or something a bit fancy.
  • The food menu is spot on, with tasty options like pizzas, gyros, and their own branded burgers; plus, it's vegan-friendly, which is great if you're after something inclusive and delicious.

  • It's got a lively atmosphere with things like a shuffleboard area and a private mezzanine for groups, ideal for celebrations or just catching up after work.
Areas for Improvement
  • Service can sometimes drag a bit, especially when it's busy, with the odd mix-up over who's next at the bar, which might leave you waiting longer than you'd like.
  • Prices are a tad on the steep side, so it might not be the best choice if you're watching your wallet, though you do get what you pay for in terms of quality.
  • There have been a few gripes with things like TV screens not working properly during big events, which could spoil the mood if you're there for the match.

O'Neill's Broad Street is a welcoming Irish pub in Birmingham that's spot on for enjoying cracking food, lively sports vibes, and a good pint, though it has a couple of minor downsides like chilly spots.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely delicious with generous portions – think tasty fish and chips or smothered chicken that's a real treat.
  • It's got a brilliant atmosphere for watching sports, with plenty of screens and a buzzing crowd that makes every match feel exciting.
  • The staff are friendly and on the ball, serving up drinks and orders quickly even when things get hectic.

Areas for Improvement
  • Some spots can feel a bit chilly, like near certain tables or the smoking area, which might leave you reaching for your scarf.
  • Tables aren't always cleared promptly, so you might end up with half-finished drinks from the previous group cluttering things up.
  • The vibe isn't always electric – for instance, it can be a tad quiet during some events, even when you'd expect more of a buzz.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • 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.
Areas for Improvement
  • 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.

What's Great
  • The Guinness here is hands down one of the best in Birmingham – it's creamy and spot-on, just like you'd hope for in a proper Irish bar.
  • They've got a fantastic vibe with live music every weekend, making it a brilliant spot for a night out with friends or catching up on major sports events on the big screens.
  • The staff can be absolutely top-notch; from what I've heard, they're friendly, attentive, and really know how to make you feel welcome, especially during events.

Areas for Improvement
  • Service can be a bit inconsistent at times, with some folks mentioning mix-ups in orders and issues with billing that left a sour note.
  • The food doesn't always hit the mark; for instance, a simple hotdog might not live up to expectations, which is a shame when you're looking for a decent bite alongside your pint.
  • Based on a few recent experiences, it seems like the overall service might not be as reliable as you'd want, potentially putting a damper on an otherwise fun evening.

  • The roof terrace is a brilliant spot for soaking up the sun, offering a relaxed outdoor area that's perfect for a chat.
Areas for Improvement
  • A few menu items could do with a bit more flavour, like the harissa or scotch egg crumb – they come across as a tad underwhelming.
  • It's not always guaranteed to get a seat in the restaurant, which might leave you waiting or settling for the pub area.
  • No option to book the roof terrace means you might miss out if it's busy, which can be a bit of a faff on peak days.

  • The staff are so welcoming and friendly; they're always up for a chat and go out of their way to make sure everyone feels looked after, even sorting out dietary needs without a fuss.

  • Booking is straightforward and reliable, making it easy to plan a visit, and they've got little extras like letting you pull your own pint for a fun twist.
Areas for Improvement
  • Prices have skyrocketed a bit, so meals can end up costing more than you'd expect – like nearly £70 for two with just a juice and a half pint, which might put some off.
  • It could feel a tad pricey for regular visits, especially if you're watching the pennies, as the value doesn't quite match up with the higher costs these days.

  • The toilets are a bit of a trek down a long flight of stairs, which could be inconvenient, especially if you're with little ones or have mobility concerns.
  • It can get really busy, particularly on weekends or during events like Christmas lunches, so you might need to book ahead to avoid waiting around.

The Botanist on Temple Street is a cracking pub and restaurant in Birmingham, offering a sophisticated yet lively vibe with top food, drinks, and events that make it perfect for a memorable get-together.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely spot on – it's sophisticated, vibrant, and full of energy, making it a brilliant spot for catching up with mates or enjoying a special occasion.
  • The food is a real highlight; think delicious roasts, tasty cauliflower dishes, halloumi fries, and perfectly cooked meats – everything's fresh and generously portioned.
  • Staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, always going the extra mile to make sure you're having a great time, which really adds to the welcoming vibe.
  • Drinks are adventurous and well-priced, with options like Porn Star Martinis that are spot on for a fun night, plus they have events like live music and bingo to keep things lively.
  • It's dog-friendly and has a lovely outdoor terrace, so you can enjoy a pint or a meal al fresco, especially on a sunny day in Birmingham.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get quite busy, especially on weekends or during events, which might mean a bit of a wait for a table or service, even if you've booked.
  • Being one of two Botanist spots in Birmingham, it's easy to mix it up with the other one, and the moderate prices might feel a tad steep for everyday visits if you're watching the pennies.
  • The operating hours are fairly standard, but with earlier starts on weekends, it might not suit late-night crowds looking for somewhere open much past midnight on weekdays.

BrewDog Birmingham is a cracking spot for craft beer fans, blending a lively atmosphere with solid food and friendly service, though watch out for the prices.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The craft beer selection is absolutely brilliant, with a huge variety of IPAs, stouts, and more from top breweries around the world – it's a real treat for beer lovers.
  • The staff are super friendly and helpful, always ready with recommendations or a chat, which makes the whole experience feel welcoming.
  • It's got a trendy, industrial vibe with exposed metal girders that gives it a cool, nonconformist edge – perfect for chilling out after a busy day.

  • They offer student discounts and fresh beer launches, keeping things exciting and accessible for a good night out.
Areas for Improvement
  • The beers can be a bit on the pricey side, which might make you think twice if you're planning a long session.
  • Some folks find the beers served too cold, which can dull the flavours and take away from the full experience.
  • The food is lovely but tends to be expensive, so it might not suit everyone's budget for a casual meal.
  • Seating can be a bit limited, especially when it's busy, so you might end up standing or waiting for a spot.
  • It doesn't always leave a lasting impression for everyone, with a few saying the overall vibe is good but not quite standout enough to return straight away.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is always warm and welcoming, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • Staff are incredibly friendly and efficient, adding to that genuine Birmingham charm.
  • Fantastic value for money with deals like fish and chips with a pint for just £9.25 – perfect for a budget-friendly bite.

Areas for Improvement
  • It can get a bit rowdy at times, especially early in the day, which might not suit if you're after a quiet pint.
  • Places like this tend to fill up quickly, so you might struggle to find a seat during peak hours.
  • Opening times vary a tad, and if you're out and about before midday, it could be one of the few options, but that means it might not always be as peaceful as you'd hope.

The Botanist Gas Street Basin is a charming canalside spot in Birmingham that's brilliant for drinks and a relaxed outing, though it has its off moments with service and food consistency.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The location by the canals is absolutely spot on – it's a cracking spot for soaking up the sun with a drink in hand, especially those tables that catch the rays the longest.
  • The staff are really friendly and on the ball, making for a welcoming vibe, and the drinks are reasonably priced for Birmingham city centre.
  • They've got live music on Fridays and Saturdays, which adds a fun, lively atmosphere, and it's great that it's dog-friendly with an outdoor terrace to enjoy.
  • The menu has a good variety, including tasty options like brunch and roasts, and the overall setting feels relaxed and enjoyable.
Areas for Improvement
  • Service can be a bit hit or miss; some folks have had issues like getting the wrong drinks, which puts a dampener on things.
  • The food doesn't always live up to the hype – it's a bit all over the place with international dishes that might not excel, and some items feel overpriced for what you get.
  • It can get quite busy, especially on weekends, so you might face waits or find it a tad overwhelming at times.

Canalside Bar is a charming little spot in Birmingham, right by the canal, with a cosy feel and brilliant service, though it's on the snug side and has a few quirks.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The location right by the canal is an absolute delight, making it perfect for a relaxing pint while watching barges glide past.
  • Outdoor seating is charming, all decked out with gorgeous flowers, which really adds to the inviting atmosphere on sunny days.
  • Inside, it's got that cosy, welcoming vibe that's especially lovely on a chilly winter evening.
  • The service is spot on – friendly and attentive, leaving you feeling right at home.
  • Pizzas look tempting from what I've heard, even if you're just popping in for a drink.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's a tad small inside, so it can feel a bit cramped when things get busy.
  • Options for non-alcoholic drinks are quite limited, which might not suit everyone.
  • The phone number doesn't seem to work, which could be a nuisance if you need to get in touch.
  • They're only open six days a week, so you'll have to plan your visit around that.

The Rose Villa Tavern is a welcoming Birmingham gem with a cracking atmosphere and drinks selection, but watch out for the wait on food and higher prices.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely charming, with a warm welcome that makes you feel right at home, especially in that classic British pub setting full of character.
  • They've got a fantastic selection of drinks, from real ales and cocktails to low or no-alcohol options, and it's a top spot for catching up with mates over a pint.
  • It's super family-friendly and dog-friendly, so you can bring the little ones or your furry friend along for a relaxed day out.
  • Live sports on the big screen, like Sky Sports and TNT, plus occasional DJ sets, make it a lively place for watching the footie or enjoying some tunes.
Areas for Improvement
  • Food can take a while to arrive, which might leave you a bit peckish if you're hoping for a quick bite.
  • Prices are a tad on the steep side, like shelling out over £7 for a pint – it's stung a few folks who've been there.
  • Some areas could do with a bit more attention to cleanliness, as a couple of visitors have pointed out issues that dampen the experience.
  • The grub is decent when it shows up, but it's not always up to scratch for the price, with a few saying it's just okay rather than outstanding.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff can be absolutely brilliant – like that barman Harry who went above and beyond for a birthday bash, making everyone feel right at home.
  • It's got a cracking atmosphere, especially in the heart of Birmingham city centre, with live music, DJs, and a buzzing vibe that's perfect for a catch-up or a big night out.
  • The food hits the spot for many, with home-cooked options like juicy burgers, tasty Sunday roasts, and even sharing platters; plus, there's a discount for locals which is a nice touch.
  • They serve well-kept beer and have a laid-back setting that's ideal for a quick pint or lingering longer, and the private mezzanine is great for special events up to 60 folks.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some staff can be a bit off-putting, like that moody barmaid who wasn't very welcoming and even blamed customers for drinks going missing – not the best way to keep things friendly.
  • Food quality can be hit or miss; one person mentioned rock-hard ciabatta bread that put a dampener on their meal, so it might not always live up to the hype.
  • There have been gripes about drinks being cleared too quickly even when you're right there, which could spoil the flow of your evening.
  • Opening hours and service times vary a tad, and with mixed recent reviews, it might not be consistently reliable for a top-notch experience every time.

The Shakespeare is a charming historic pub in Birmingham that's spot-on for a quick pint and some tasty grub near the station, though it has a few niggles that keep it from being perfect.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The historic charm with all those lovely old features and Victorian tiles really makes you feel like you're stepping back in time—it's a proper treat for anyone who appreciates a bit of character in their local.
  • The staff are genuinely friendly and helpful, always ready with a smile and quick service, which makes popping in for a drink or a bite feel welcoming and hassle-free.
  • It's spot on for food and drinks—the classic British pub grub like burgers and cask ales come highly recommended, and they pour a perfect pint that hits the spot after a long day.
  • Being right next to Birmingham New Street station, it's incredibly handy for a quick stop-off, whether you're a local or just passing through, making it ideal for a swift refreshment.
Areas for Improvement
  • There have been some reports of beggars hanging around and causing a bit of bother, which can put a damper on what should be a relaxing visit.
  • The place could do with a freshen-up; some folks mention it feels a tad worn out and in need of an overhaul to keep up with its historic appeal.
  • Prices might be a smidge higher than nearby spots, so if you're watching the pennies, you might find better value just around the corner.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The lively atmosphere and vibrant music scene make it a top spot for enjoying live gigs and a buzzing night out in Birmingham.
  • They've got a spacious terrace that's perfect for catching up with mates over drinks on a nice evening.
  • Drinks are reasonably priced, with a decent selection that includes options like Staropramen, and the bar staff can be really friendly and welcoming.
  • It's open late into the night, which is brilliant if you're after a place that keeps going when others are winding down.
  • The events like speed quizzes and live performances add a fun, entertaining twist to your visit.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some of the door staff can be a bit rude or overly strict, which might put a dampener on your evening right from the start.
  • Seating can be quite tight, making it tricky to find a comfy spot if you're not up for dancing or standing.
  • It sometimes attracts a few odd characters, especially later at night, which could make things feel a tad unpredictable.
  • Service isn't always consistent, with a couple of reviews mentioning feeling treated poorly, so it might not be reliable every time.
  • While the music and events are great, the overall vibe can vary, and it's not ideal if you're after a quiet, relaxed pint.

Areas for Improvement
  • It can get a bit quiet, especially on Sundays, so it might not feel as lively as you'd hope for a buzzing night out.
  • Sometimes things like hot drinks or your first choice of beer aren't available, which can be a minor letdown.
  • A few folks have said it feels just average overall, lacking a bit of excitement on slower days.

The Malt House is a welcoming Birmingham pub with cracking canal views, friendly service, and a great spot for drinks or a bite, though it does get crowded at times.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The location by the canal is absolutely spot on – it's got those stunning views that make you feel right at home in Birmingham.
  • Friendly staff who greet you with a smile and get you served quickly, which always makes for a welcoming vibe.
  • A solid selection of beers, including cask ales and local brews, perfect for anyone who appreciates a good pint.
  • Plenty of outdoor seating, like the balcony overlooking the water, ideal for soaking up the sun on a nice day.
  • They show live sport, so it's a brilliant place to catch the big games, whether it's football or something else.
  • Food options are decent, with veggie choices available, and it's a nice spot for a casual meal or even just sandwiches.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get really busy, especially when there's events on or the weather's good, which might mean waiting around for a table.
  • You can't dine on the balcony, which is a bit of a shame when you've got such lovely views to enjoy with your meal.
  • The food's alright but nothing to write home about – it's more your standard pub fare, like sandwiches, rather than anything fancy.
  • As a Greene King pub, it has that familiar chain feel, so it might not stand out as much if you're after something more unique.

The Gentleman & Scholar is a charming Birmingham pub with a welcoming vibe and stellar staff, though it has its off moments with service and food that could use a bit of polish.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – from what I've heard, folks like Chris and Christian go above and beyond to make you feel welcome, turning a rough day around with their top-notch service and even handling dietary needs like being dairy-free with ease.
  • The atmosphere is just lovely; think comfy booths, a cosy bar to perch at, and a spacious terrace that's perfect for enjoying a drink or snack any time of year, especially with live music livening things up on Thursday evenings.
  • They've got a solid selection of drinks and classic pub grub, with cocktails and bar snacks that sound like a treat after a long day, making it a great spot for a casual catch-up in the heart of Birmingham.
Areas for Improvement
  • Service can be painfully slow at times, which might leave you waiting longer than you'd like for your food or drinks, even when the team seems busy.
  • The food quality isn't always up to scratch; some dishes, like the Irish stew or club sandwich, have been described as disappointing, cold, or just not quite right, which is a shame for a pub with such potential.
  • Little things can slip through the cracks, such as not having napkins or basics like salt and pepper on hand, or even ignoring simple requests like changing the music, which might detract from the overall experience.

The Grey Lantern in Birmingham was a cracking little bar with cheap drinks and a warm, welcoming vibe for sports fans and music lovers, but it's sadly shut its doors for good.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The drinks are incredibly affordable, with pints around £3 to £3.75 – perfect for a budget-friendly night out without breaking the bank.
  • The staff are super friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in, whether you're into sports, music, or just a chat.
  • It's got a lively atmosphere that's great for watching sports or enjoying indie tunes, with a stage for live bands and options for non-alcoholic drinks if you're not drinking.
  • Everyone seems to have a good time, with reviews highlighting how inclusive and community-oriented the place feels, like being part of the family.
Areas for Improvement
  • Unfortunately, it's closed for good now due to a skyscraper development, so you won't be able to pop in for a pint anymore – a real shame for such a local favourite.
  • The decor is pretty basic, nothing fancy to write home about, so if you're after something more stylish, it might not hit the mark.
  • There's no website or much online presence, which makes it tricky to get the latest info or plan a visit in advance.

Areas for Improvement
  • It can get a bit chaotic at the bar when things are busy, making it tricky to get served quickly.
  • With only six days open a week, you might find yourself planning around that if you're hoping for a spontaneous visit.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in – it's like chatting with old mates behind the bar.
  • It's got a brilliant atmosphere, perfect for catching live sports or just enjoying a lively vibe with a pint in hand.
  • Prices are spot on for the city centre, offering great value on food and drinks without breaking the bank.
  • Tucked away in a central spot near New Street Station, it's super convenient for a quick stop after shopping or exploring Birmingham.
  • The food hits the mark in many ways, with tasty options like burgers and pizzas that leave you satisfied and coming back for more.
Areas for Improvement
  • 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.

The Queens Arms is a friendly Birmingham pub with a great vibe for drinks and chats, but it falls short on food and local beer variety.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • 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.
Areas for Improvement
  • 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.

  • 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.
Areas for Improvement
  • 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.

  • The live entertainment, like karaoke, really livens up the place and adds to the fun atmosphere.
Areas for Improvement
  • The space is a bit on the small side, so it can feel crowded during peak times and get a tad overwhelming.
  • It's mostly focused on drinks rather than food, so if you're after a proper meal, you might need to look elsewhere.
  • Prices are pretty standard for the city centre, like around £4 a pint, so it's not exactly a bargain hunt.

  • The location is absolutely spot on, right in the heart of Birmingham and just a short stroll from the train station, making it super convenient for a night out or a quick getaway.
  • It's all about that great value – think affordable prices on food, drinks, and even hotel stays, with a cracking breakfast that won't break the bank.
  • The staff are really on the ball, working quickly and efficiently to get you served without any fuss, and they're prompt at clearing tables too.

  • The food and drinks are solid quality for what you're paying, and it's got that classic Wetherspoons vibe that makes you feel right at home.
Areas for Improvement
  • The lighting in the rooms can be a tad dim, which might make it feel a bit gloomy if you're trying to relax or get ready.
  • The TV in the rooms has a habit of buffering, so it might not be the best for catching up on your favourite shows without interruptions.
  • There's no air conditioning, which could leave things a bit stuffy on warmer days, especially since the rooms can get cosy.
  • Even with soundproof windows, you might still pick up some noise from neighbours or the street, so it's not the quietest spot if you're after total peace.
