Couch Stirchley

Verified
4.9(306 reviews)
97/100
Couch Stirchley is a charming cocktail bar in Birmingham, serving up brilliant drinks and a welcoming vibe, though it's a snug spot that fills up fast.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The cocktails are absolutely exceptional – beautifully crafted with plenty of character, making every sip a delight.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, always ready with a warm welcome and a bit of banter to make your visit memorable.
Areas for Improvement
  • The space is quite small, so it can get busy and you might have to wait for a seat, even with that friendly greeting.
  • It's walk-in only, which makes it a bit tricky if you're trying to plan around a packed schedule or pop in after work.

95/100
Birmingham Brewing Company is a brilliant spot in Stirchley for craft beer lovers, with tasty, inclusive brews and lively tours, but do keep an eye out for those parking challenges.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The beers are absolutely cracking – they're vegan and gluten-free, making them accessible for everyone, and they've got a great variety like the Brummie range that's full of flavour.
  • The tours and taproom experiences are spot on; guides like Emily and Jack are knowledgeable and make it a fun, engaging chat about brewing, with chances to sample the brews.
Areas for Improvement
  • Parking can be a right faff, especially on Saturdays when the industrial estate gates close early, which might be a headache for those with accessibility needs.
  • They're only open a few days a week, so it might not fit into everyone's plans, and the location in an industrial estate isn't the most charming spot for a casual outing.

Cotteridge Wines is a cracking little spot in Birmingham for beer lovers, with top-notch service, a vast drink selection, and fair prices that make it a go-to for a chilled-out drink.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • They've got an amazing selection of drinks, from craft beers and ales to ciders and wines from all over – it's like a treasure trove for anyone who loves exploring new brews.
Areas for Improvement
  • It tends to close a bit early, often around 6pm, which might cut your evening short if you're hoping for a late-night session.
  • It's more geared towards drinks and a relaxed vibe rather than a lively pub atmosphere, so if you're after live music or a bustling crowd, it might not quite hit the mark.

Attic Brew Co. is a cracking little brewery in Birmingham that's all about fantastic craft beers, warm vibes, and helpful staff, though it might set you back a bit and isn't open every day.

  • The staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, always on hand to help you pick the perfect pint and make you feel welcome.
Areas for Improvement

  • The staff are knowledgeable and incredibly welcoming, always ready to chat about their recommendations and make you feel right at home.
Areas for Improvement
  • Food is only available on Tuesday to Thursday evenings from 5 to 8:30pm, so it's not ideal if you're after a meal at other times.
  • It's a card-only place, which might be a hassle if you're someone who prefers to pay with cash.

Deadbeat is a hidden gem in Stirchley, Birmingham, with a lively, welcoming vibe and a superb selection of drinks that make it perfect for a relaxed night out.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely spot on – it's got this brilliant, unpretentious vibe with awesome music like old skool hip hop that really gets the energy going.
  • They've got a cracking selection of drinks, including a great mix of beers on tap and in the fridge, with German options, frequent rotations, wines, and even cocktails to keep things interesting.
Areas for Improvement
  • Food options seem a bit hit-and-miss, as it's mainly a bar and might not always have something on offer, so you could end up needing to grab a bite elsewhere.
  • It's only open five days a week, typically in the evenings, which means it's not ideal if you're after a spontaneous daytime visit or mid-week catch-up.

RedBeer'd is a lovely little micro bar in Birmingham with a warm, friendly feel and cracking beers, though it's not without the occasional off moment in service.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready with a smile and even suggestions for other great spots nearby – it's like chatting with a mate behind the bar.
  • They've got a fantastic selection of beers, including local brews and craft lines that go beyond the usual suspects, perfect for anyone wanting to try something new and tasty.
Areas for Improvement
  • There was one disappointing experience where someone felt judged and unwelcome due to a disability, which really soured their visit and shows that service isn't always spot-on.
  • The beer selection might be limited in variety at times, like only one hand pump in use, so it could feel a bit sparse if you're after more options.

  • Drinks are reasonably priced with a decent selection, so you won't break the bank while enjoying the show.
Areas for Improvement

Areas for Improvement
  • Service can be hit or miss; one person mentioned a staff member who seemed uninterested and not very helpful with recommendations, which might put a dampener on things.
  • The opening hours are a bit limited, only open six days a week and starting late in the afternoon, so it might not suit early birds or spontaneous midweek plans.

Verbena's a lovely modern British restaurant in Stirchley, dishing up fresh, seasonal fare with friendly service and a high 4.7 rating, though it's only open select evenings.
Pros and Cons
What's Great

  • The staff are so welcoming and efficient, making every visit feel like catching up with old mates, which really adds to the cosy, bright atmosphere.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's only open a few evenings a week – Thursday to Saturday and Sundays – so you'll need to plan ahead if you're keen to pop in.
  • Online bookings are limited to groups of up to six, which might be a hassle if you're organising something bigger and have to contact them directly.

Areas for Improvement

Areas for Improvement

Picture and Pint is a delightful little gem in Birmingham, mixing a rich photo heritage with cracking beers and a warm, quirky atmosphere that'll make you want to pop in for a chat and a drink.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, always up for a good chat and sharing local knowledge, which makes you feel right at home.
  • They've got a fantastic selection of beers, ales, ciders, and spirits – it's all carefully curated to suit different tastes, with some Birmingham brewery options that really hit the spot.
Areas for Improvement
  • With only a handful of reviews so far, it might not be on everyone's radar yet, so you could miss out if you're not in the know.
  • The operating hours seem a bit inconsistent or limited in places, like being closed one day a week, which might catch you out if you're planning a spontaneous visit.

The Goose in Selly Oak is a lively little gem in Birmingham, ideal for a pint and some sport-watching banter, though it's not without its hiccups with the food.
Pros and Cons

  • It can get pretty packed, especially in the evenings, which might mean waiting ages for your order or a table.

Stir Stores in Birmingham is a cracking spot for wing lovers, with a welcoming vibe and great brews, but you'll want to factor in potential waits for your grub.
Pros and Cons

  • It has a really friendly and relaxed atmosphere that makes you feel right at home, perfect for a casual catch-up with mates.
Areas for Improvement
  • There can be long waits for food, like over an hour for something simple, which might put a dampener on your evening.
  • The inside space is a bit on the small side, so it could feel cramped if it's busy.

The Country Girl is a cosy Birmingham pub with solid food and a friendly vibe, perfect for a relaxed get-together, though watch out for occasional service slip-ups.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is generally top-notch with great value, like that juicy rump steak that's full of flavour and comes with all the trimmings – it's a real winner for a hearty meal.
  • It's super welcoming with a warm atmosphere, a sunny beer garden, and plenty of parking, making it easy to pop in for a catch-up or a quiet drink.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some dishes can be hit or miss – a few folks have complained about food being burnt, flavourless, or even cold inside, which is a real shame for a pub meal.
  • Service isn't always up to scratch; one person mentioned a rude barman, which could put a damper on your visit if you're not lucky with the staff on duty.

  • As a small pub, it can feel a bit snug, and if it gets busy, you might wish for more space to spread out.

Areas for Improvement

  • There are quite a few cover bands rather than original acts, which could feel a tad repetitive for some.

Circo Student Bar in Birmingham is a cracking spot for students seeking a lively night out with great vibes, cheap deals, and friendly faces, though it has its quirks like varying hours and a sometimes hectic crowd.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely buzzing – it's got that unbeatable student vibe with epic parties, a dance floor, and fun games like darts and pool that make every night feel special.
  • Staff are top-notch and really welcoming; from the bar team to the manager who's always hyping up the crowd, you'll feel right at home with their friendly service and quick drinks.
Areas for Improvement
  • The overall rating sits at 3.9, which suggests that while many have a great time, there might be occasional slip-ups like inconsistent service or crowds that make it feel a bit overwhelming in such a compact space.
  • Operating hours can vary and it's closed on Sundays, so it's not ideal if you're looking for a reliable spot every day of the week, and some evenings wrap up earlier than you'd hope.

Areas for Improvement
  • Service can drag a bit when they're short-staffed, like having only one person on carving duty, which might leave you waiting longer than you'd like.
  • Some dishes have had issues, such as food arriving cold or being a tad too salty, which puts a damper on the experience.
