Couch Stirchley

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.
  • It's got a cosy, fun atmosphere that's perfect for unwinding with mates, with something exciting always on offer.
  • Dog-friendly vibes mean you can bring your furry friends along for the fun, which is a lovely touch.
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.
  • Operating hours are limited – only open five days a week and wrapping up by 11 PM, so it's not ideal for late-night outings.

Dick's Smokehouse is a hidden gem in Bromsgrove, serving up cracking American BBQ that's full of flavour and paired with brilliant service – it's one of those places that leaves you smiling and wanting more.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely spot-on – think tender, flavoursome American-style BBQ cooked low and slow over natural coal and wood, with unique homemade sauces and sides that make every bite a delight.
  • Service is top-notch; the staff are friendly, attentive, and always on hand to keep your drinks topped up and ensure you're having a great time.
  • It's got a lovely atmosphere in a cosy, welcoming space, perfect for a relaxed meal with friends, and the music selection really adds to the vibe.
  • They offer brilliant options like bottomless brunches and platters for sharing, making it ideal for a fun outing or trying a bit of everything.
Areas for Improvement
  • The opening hours can be a bit limited, mostly evenings and not every day, so you'll need to plan ahead if you're keen to visit.
  • As it's a smaller venue, it might feel a tad cramped during busier times, which could make it tricky if you're after a more spacious setting.
  • Being out in Bromsgrove, it might not be the easiest spot to pop into if you're not local, though it's worth the trip if you fancy something special.

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

  • 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
  • It can get quite busy, especially on weekends, so you might end up waiting a bit for a table or service.
  • The focus is mainly on cocktails, which means if you're after something simple like a pint of ale, options might feel a tad limited.
  • With opening times starting in the evening, it's not the best spot if you're looking for a relaxed daytime drink.

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.
  • Prices are spot on and reasonable, so you won't break the bank while treating yourself to something special.
  • The tap room is a brilliant spot for enjoying local beers on site, adding a nice community feel to the place.
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.

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.
  • It's got a welcoming vibe with friendly staff and even some food truck options for when you fancy a bite alongside your pint.
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.

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.

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.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The selection of craft beers is absolutely top-notch, with fresh brews straight from the source that really hit the spot.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, always on hand to help you pick the perfect pint and make you feel welcome.
  • It's got a relaxed and quirky atmosphere that's perfect for a laid-back evening with mates, whether you're in a group or just popping in solo.
  • Handy location near Bournville Station makes it easy to swing by after a day out, and it's well worth seeking out in Stirchley.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can be a bit on the pricey side, so you might want to budget accordingly if you're planning a big night.
  • Opening hours are a tad limited, mostly evenings and only five days a week, which means it's not always an option for a spontaneous visit.

Casa Med is a lovely tapas spot in Bromsgrove with cracking food and top service, but watch out for the odd pricey dish that doesn't quite deliver.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is generally delicious and full of flavour, with standout dishes like the sangria and tasty tapas that make for a proper Mediterranean treat.
  • Service is spot-on, with friendly and attentive staff who go the extra mile to make you feel welcome, just like chatting with old mates.
  • It's got a charming and unique atmosphere, perfect for a relaxed night out or celebrating with friends in the heart of Bromsgrove.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some dishes can feel a bit overpriced and not quite worth it, like the pork belly that didn't live up to expectations for a few folks.
  • The menu might come across as a tad disjointed or inconsistent, with not every item hitting the mark every time.
  • Not all experiences are five-star; a couple of visits were just okay, so it might not wow you on every go-round.

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.

Tower Of Song Music Venue

4.7(154 reviews)
93/100
Tower of Song is a charming little music venue in Birmingham, perfect for those cosy gigs with friendly service and affordable drinks, though it's on the snug side.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The intimate atmosphere creates a really personal and engaging experience for live music lovers, making you feel right in the thick of it.
  • Drinks are reasonably priced with a decent selection, so you won't break the bank while enjoying the show.
  • Staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, always up for a chat and adding to the warm vibe.
  • There's a fantastic variety of artists and genres on offer, from jazz to other acts, keeping things fresh and exciting.
  • The sound setup is top-notch, ensuring the music comes through crystal clear and enhancing the overall enjoyment.
Areas for Improvement
  • The venue is quite small, which can feel a bit cramped during busier events and might not suit everyone looking for more space.
  • Occasional mishaps, like that unfortunate incident with a band getting out of hand, can spoil an otherwise good night.
  • It's only open a few days a week, which means options are limited if you're hoping to pop in spontaneously.

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.
  • The atmosphere is cosy and relaxed, with a great vibe that makes it easy to unwind, and it's pet-friendly too, so you can bring your furry friend along for the fun.
  • It's conveniently located near Kings Norton, making it a brilliant stop-off point, especially if you're hopping off the train.
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.
  • Based on the reviews, it seems there might be inconsistencies in how folks are treated, which could put a damper on what should be a relaxed outing.

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.
  • It's incredibly welcoming and friendly, fostering a real sense of community where you can relax and enjoy the company of like-minded folk.
  • Guest kitchen takeovers add a fun twist with diverse cuisines, making it more than just a standard bar night out.
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.
  • There's no phone number listed, which can make it a tad tricky to get quick details or confirm what's on before heading over.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The beer selection is absolutely brilliant – always rotating with loads of local options, making every visit feel fresh and exciting.
  • The staff are knowledgeable and incredibly welcoming, always ready to chat about their recommendations and make you feel right at home.
  • It's a dog-friendly and child-friendly spot, which is perfect for popping in with the family or your four-legged mate for a relaxed vibe.
  • They've got some great pop-up events and a weekly changing food menu that's simple, seasonal, and delicious when it's on offer.
  • As a 100% employee-owned independent bar, it has that genuine community feel, and the high ratings show just how much folks love it.
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.
  • The operating hours can seem a bit inconsistent from the info available, so it's worth double-checking before heading out, especially on Sundays.

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 food is absolutely brilliant, with fresh, seasonal ingredients and menus that change regularly – think mouthwatering pasta parties and top-notch Sunday roasts that could convert even the staunchest pasta sceptics.
  • 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.
  • It's a fantastic spot for small groups or couples looking for a special night out, with options for vegetarians and a good selection of wines and cocktails to pair with your meal.
  • They've got a real knack for celebrations, like birthdays, with creative dishes that impress and a newsletter to keep you in the loop on new menus and events.
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.
  • As a modern restaurant rather than a traditional pub, it might feel a tad more formal, so if you're after a laid-back, casual vibe, it could miss the mark.
  • With its focus on evenings and limited days, it doesn't cater to daytime visitors or those wanting a quick bite outside of dinner hours.

  • The beer selection is absolutely spot on, with a great range of ales, ciders, and even some cans in the fridge – perfect for a proper pint lover.
  • The atmosphere is just lovely; it's relaxed during the day and can get nicely buzzing in the evenings, making it a versatile spot for a casual catch-up or a lively night.
  • Staff are generally friendly and welcoming, which really adds to the homely vibe – you'll feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • It's dog-friendly, which is brilliant if you're popping in with your furry friend, and they've got hot drinks too for a more chilled-out visit.
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.

Areas for Improvement
  • It can get quite pricey for a regular night out, being on the moderate side, so it might not be ideal if you're watching the pennies.
  • The focus is heavily on steaks and meat dishes, which means if you're after something lighter or vegetarian options, you might find the menu a bit limited.

  • Dogs are welcome, children can join until 7pm, and they've won some impressive awards from CAMRA, which shows they're doing something right with their brews.
Areas for Improvement
  • There's no beer garden or proper smoking area, which might disappoint if you're after some fresh air with your drink.
  • Some seating can be a bit uncomfortable or quirky, like those sloping tables, and you might have to shuffle around to find a good spot.
  • The landlord doesn't always come across as the most welcoming, based on a few experiences, which could put a dampener on your visit if you're hoping for a super chatty vibe.

Banners Restaurant is a welcoming gem in Bromsgrove, serving up delicious grub with great deals and a relaxed vibe that'll have you recommending it to mates.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely spot on – think juicy burgers, sensational sizzlers, and cracking steaks, especially with those tempting deals like £15 for sirloins on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
  • It's got a lovely cosy atmosphere that makes you feel right at home, perfect for a relaxed meal or even a themed evening like Harry Potter nights.
  • Service is friendly and efficient, getting your order out quickly so you can enjoy your time without any fuss.

  • Plenty of perks with the loyalty club and takeaway options, making it easy to keep coming back for more.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's closed on Mondays, which means you'll have to plan your visits around that if you're after a mid-week bite.
  • Some might find the location in Bromsgrove a tad out of the way, though it's still handy if you're in the area.

  • The service is top-notch; the team are attentive and go the extra mile, like with thoughtful touches that make you feel welcome and valued.
Areas for Improvement
  • Drinks can be a bit steep on the wallet – you're looking at over a tenner for a double vodka and Coke, which feels excessive for standard spirits.
  • Some meals, especially brunch, come in tiny portions that don't quite match the price, leaving you a tad disappointed.
  • There are occasional niggles with the facilities, like broken bits in the toilets, which can put a slight dampener on things.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly welcoming and make you feel right at home, just like in David's review where he mentioned feeling so welcome after moving to the area.
  • It's got a fantastic atmosphere with a good mix of people, from the young crowd to the more seasoned regulars, creating that lively yet relaxed vibe.
  • They offer an interesting selection of drinks, especially the ales, which got high praise for being great and worth trying out.
  • Prices are really affordable, making it an easy spot for a casual night out without worrying about the bill.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some drinks can be hit or miss, like that awful ale mentioned in one review, which left a bad taste – literally!
  • There might be the odd grumpy moment with staff, such as the argumentative barman who didn't handle feedback well.
  • No option for taster boards means you can't easily sample a few drinks before committing, which is a pity for variety seekers.
  • Food choices seem limited, with no cobs or much else on offer, so it's probably not the place if you're after a proper meal.

  • The staff are incredibly friendly and make you feel right at home, with that personal touch that really makes the place stand out.

  • Plenty of positive vibes from visitors, especially for special occasions like wakes, where it's handled with a good mix of respect and cheer.
Areas for Improvement
  • Sometimes the drink options can be a bit limited; for instance, they might not have what you're specifically after, like a fruity cider, even if it's on display.
  • The seating isn't always up to scratch – think wobbly benches that could lead to a funny mishap or two, which might spoil the fun.
  • The staff could do with being a tad more cheerful at times; a smile here and there would make the experience even more enjoyable.
  • It seems to attract a mostly older crowd, which is fine if that's your scene, but it might not feel as lively for those after a more mixed vibe.

Nigel Sedgley
The reason for the 4 stars is the price of the beer and soft drinks. £3.50 is way too expensive for a coke! and my friends said the beer is far too expensive. Other than that it's a lovely pub.

A “walk-in” Sunday roast. The manager squeezed us in even though fully booked. Service was fantastic and the quality of food even better. Wonderful experience on a beautiful day. Well done.

The Hare & Hounds is a cracking pub in Birmingham that's perfect for a great night out with mates, boasting delicious grub and lively gigs, though it's not without a few quirks.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely spot on – think juicy burgers, loaded fries, and even superb fish and chips that leave you wanting more.
  • It's a brilliant spot for live gigs with great sound quality and a welcoming atmosphere that makes every event feel special.
  • Friendly staff who generally go the extra mile, and they've got a solid selection of beers to choose from.
  • That trendy vibe really shines through, with nice touches like local hot sauces and discounts on food if you're there for a show.
Areas for Improvement
  • The layout can be a bit awkward, like having the entrance right next to the stage, which makes it tricky to enjoy the music without distractions.
  • Prices feel a tad steep for the area, especially if you're just popping in for a drink or a quick bite.
  • Occasionally, service might not be up to scratch, with some staff seeming more interested in chatting than helping out.
  • The terrace access is a bit odd, involving going up and down into a courtyard, which isn't the most straightforward.

The Plough Harborne is a welcoming spot in Birmingham with a cracking atmosphere and solid grub, though it's not without a few niggles here and there.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely spot on, especially the outdoor seating with lovely greenery and heaters to keep you cosy even on chillier days.
  • Staff are super friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • Food hits the mark in many ways – think delicious salads, pizzas, and burgers, plus great deals like 2 for 1 that make it even more appealing.
  • They've got a fantastic range of menus, including options for kids and brunch, so it's perfect for a family outing or a casual catch-up.
  • And don't forget, there's even a nearby house you can book for a stay, which adds a nice touch for longer visits.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some dishes can be a bit hit or miss – a few folks have found the food just okay, especially if you're not catching it on a deal day.
  • Service can have its slip-ups, like forgetting drinks or extras with your meal, which might leave you chasing things a bit.
  • Sunday roasts are a big draw but they sell out quickly, so you might miss out if you don't plan ahead.
  • Prices are on the moderate side, and without specials, it might feel a tad steep for what's on offer.

The Physician is a delightful Birmingham pub with bags of historic charm, scrumptious food, and a relaxed atmosphere, though you might wish for heartier portions here and there.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The historic building is full of character and charm, with high ceilings and cosy nooks that make you feel right at home.
  • They serve fresh, tasty food like southern fried chicken burgers, paired with a fantastic selection of cask ales and drinks.
  • The staff are incredibly attentive and provide quick service, even for larger groups, which really adds to the welcoming vibe.
  • It's dog-friendly and has a great outdoor seating area with heaters, ideal for enjoying a pint on milder evenings.
  • Regular events like live music and artisan markets keep things lively and give you more reasons to pop in.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some dishes, like the fries with the chicken burger, come in smaller portions, so you might fancy a bit more on your plate.
  • Prices are about average, which means it might not be the most budget-friendly option if you're watching the pennies.

  • The atmosphere is just lovely – a proper old-style boozer with historical photos and a friendly, welcoming vibe that makes you feel right at home.

  • The place is spotlessly clean and has fun extras like a good dart board, adding to the overall charm.
Areas for Improvement

  • Opening hours can be a tad confusing with varying times listed, so you might want to double-check to avoid missing out on a visit.

Pros and Cons

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely spot on with quality ingredients, like in their full English breakfast – it's a proper treat at a wallet-friendly price.
  • Prices are brilliant value; you can get a hearty meal for around £9, or even £15 for two breakfasts and teas, which is perfect for a casual outing.
  • It's got a friendly vibe and a good selection of dishes, making it a great find if you're in the Stirchley area, especially before heading to something like a cricket match at Edgbaston.
  • With an overall rating of 4.5, it's clear that most folks have a smashing time here, and it's managed well online too.
Areas for Improvement
  • Portions can be a tad disappointing, like getting just one egg or one piece of bacon in a breakfast, leaving you feeling a bit short-changed.
  • It's often closed at peak times or not available for orders, which is a real nuisance if you're counting on it for a quick delivery.
  • Extras you pay for on food apps sometimes go missing, and getting a refund is a hassle, plus the odd item might not taste fresh, like a dodgy hash brown.
  • They close early at 2 PM and might not be open every day, so it's not ideal if you're after a late lunch or evening spot.

Areas for Improvement
  • Prices can feel a tad steep, especially for things like burgers and sides, which might make you pause before ordering.
  • Food quality isn't always consistent – some dishes have been described as bland or underwhelming, which is a bit of a shame.
  • Waiting times for food can drag on longer than you'd hope, so it's worth checking if you're in a rush.
  • Parking is limited around the area, so you might end up walking from the train station car park, which isn't ideal on a rainy day.

Great Stone Inn is a cosy community pub in Birmingham that's full of warmth and good times, with cracking ale and lively events, though it does get a bit hectic when things are in full swing.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The ale is absolutely spot on – well-kept and a real treat, especially if you're a fan of a good pint like John Smith's.

Areas for Improvement
  • It can get pretty packed during events, which might make it tricky to grab a table or hear yourself think.
  • Food service wraps up at 8pm, which feels a tad early if you're planning a later evening bite.
  • One review hinted it could use a few tweaks to reach perfection, like perhaps more variety in the offerings or smoother service on busier nights.

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.

88/100
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.

Purecraft Bar & Kitchen is a cracking little spot in Birmingham's heart, dishing up brilliant beers and honest grub in a warm, buzzing atmosphere that'll make you want to linger.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • Fantastic selection of beers, with highlights like Purity Pilsner and Longhorn IPA that really hit the spot for any ale lover
  • Friendly and welcoming staff who make you feel right at home, always up for a chat or a recommendation
  • Tasty food with a modern twist, such as lemon soup or Bavette of beef, paired perfectly with your pint
  • Reasonable prices for a city centre spot, so you can enjoy quality without breaking the bank
  • Polished and inviting interior that's great for a casual catch-up or pre-event stop
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get quite crowded, especially on evenings or weekends, so you might need to book ahead to snag a table
  • Closing times are around 11pm most days, which might feel a tad early if you're in the mood for a late-night session
  • The focus is heavily on beers and ale, so if you're not into that scene, it might not be the most varied option out there

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 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.
  • The staff are really welcoming and helpful – they'll even let you sample a beer before you commit, making it feel personal and fun for a night out with mates.
  • 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.
  • Some dishes might surprise you with unexpected flavours, like a spicy kick in the burgers that isn't always mentioned, so it's worth asking if you're sensitive to that sort of thing.

Nortons Digbeth is a cracking Irish bar in Birmingham with brilliant live music and pints, but it's worth noting that service can sometimes fall short of the mark.
Pros and Cons
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.
  • It's got that cosy, old-school Irish pub charm with a great atmosphere for celebrations, whether it's a birthday bash or just watching the footie.
  • Plenty of space for dancing and mingling, plus they host all sorts of events that keep things lively and inclusive.
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.

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

  • 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.

BOX Brindleyplace is a cracking sports bar in Birmingham, ideal for enjoying the game with a lively crowd and friendly service, though it has its busier moments.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely buzzing, especially for watching sports on their 35 HD screens – it's a top spot to catch all the action with mates.
  • The staff are genuinely friendly and helpful, like Carlotta and Angela, who go out of their way to make you feel welcome and ensure everything runs smoothly.
  • They've got a great selection of food, from pizzas and burgers to salads, with options for gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan diners, so there's something for everyone.
  • Fun activities like shuffleboard and Bandeoke add a real playful vibe, making it perfect for a casual get-together or a night out.
  • Drinks service is spot on, with quick delivery and options like huge cocktail sharers that you can have brought straight to your table.
Areas for Improvement
  • The food is decent but nothing extraordinary – it's solid for a pub meal, though you might not remember it as the best you've ever had.
  • It can get quite lively and noisy, especially during big games, which might not suit if you're after a quiet chat.
  • With varying opening times listed, it might be a bit confusing to plan around, so it's worth double-checking before heading out.

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.
  • It's got a fantastic atmosphere with live music, like singers on Sundays or during bank holidays, which really livens up the place.
  • A proper traditional local pub with a quirky charm that's perfect for a relaxed catch-up with mates.
  • The beer is well-priced, so you won't break the bank enjoying a pint or two.
  • Comfortable seating that lets you settle in for a good chat without any discomfort.
Areas for Improvement
  • It could do with a bit of a refresh on the decor, as it feels a tad worn and in need of redecorating.
  • The website seems a bit glitchy, which might make it harder to check out what's on before you go.

Hopwood House is a charming canalside pub in Birmingham that's spot on for a relaxed meal and drinks, with solid food and service, though watch out for the prices and occasional dips in quality.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is generally fabulous, with tasty pub classics and some delightful surprises like homemade kebabs and a proper Sunday roast – it's all done with a bit of flair that makes meals feel special.
  • It's a welcoming, family-friendly spot with a chilled vibe, perfect for a relaxed evening, and they even welcome dogs, so you can bring your furry friends along.
  • The location is spot on, right by the canal with leafy views – grab a seat in the beer garden or the light, spacious conservatory for a lovely alfresco experience.
  • Service is often top-notch, with friendly and efficient staff who make you feel right at home, and they've got great offers like 30% off mains to sweeten the deal.
  • As a real-ale pub, they've got a cracking selection of house and guest cask beers, plus other drinks, making it ideal for a casual pint or a full meal.
Areas for Improvement
  • Prices can feel a tad high for what you get, especially when some dishes don't quite live up to expectations, like watery gravy or burgers that lack toppings and sauce.
  • Food quality seems to have dipped in recent times according to a few folks, with comments about it not being as good as it used to be, which is a shame for a place with such potential.
  • While the menu has plenty of choice, it might not always hit the mark for everyone – one person found their fish and chips just 'so so', so it could be hit or miss depending on what you order.

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.
  • The atmosphere is quirky and unique, blending the pub's history as a photo company with fun memorabilia, making it a refreshing change from your average boozer.
  • It's spotlessly clean and well-maintained, with a relaxed vibe that's perfect for a casual catch-up or a lively night out with great music and events.
  • Dog-friendly setup means you can bring your furry mate along, adding to the welcoming feel for everyone.
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.
  • As it's a mix of a pub and a photo shop, it could feel a tad confusing if you're just after a straightforward pint – not everyone might fancy the blended vibe.

Pros and Cons

  • The staff are dead lovely and always up for a chat, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in
  • It's got a cracking atmosphere with great music nights, pool tables, darts, and even a disco, perfect for a fun evening with mates

Areas for Improvement
  • The drink selection is a bit limited, with not much variety in cocktails or spirits, so if you're after something fancy, you might be disappointed
  • No food on offer, which means you'll have to bring your own snacks if you're planning to stay for more than a quick one
  • The toilets could use a bit more attention – that sticky floor mentioned in a review isn't ideal for keeping things fresh

Areas for Improvement

  • Wait times for orders can drag on, and food might arrive cold, which puts a damper on the experience.
  • The flavours in the curries sometimes lack that real depth, leaving you wanting a bit more punch.
  • It's a touch more expensive than other spots, which might make you think twice before heading back.

  • The historic pub atmosphere, with exposed brick and wooden floors, gives it that cosy, nostalgic charm.
Areas for Improvement
  • Parking can be a right faff around there, so you might end up walking a bit or relying on public transport.
  • There have been a few reports of less than stellar service from some staff, which can put a dampener on the visit.
  • It might feel a tad quiet at times, especially on certain days, so if you're after a buzzing crowd, it could disappoint.
  • Watch out for the odd overpriced item on the menu, like those scratchings that might not seem worth the quid.

The Waterfall Pub is a charming traditional spot in Cradley Heath, where friendly service and great beers shine, though food options are limited on certain days.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making every visit feel like catching up with old mates.
  • They've got a fantastic selection of beers, including local gems like Bathams, perfect for a proper pint.
  • When the kitchen's open, the food is spot on – think hearty mixed grills and tasty Cajun chicken that leave you satisfied.
  • The atmosphere is just lovely, with a quiet, pleasant vibe inside and a quirky backyard offering great views towards Clent.
  • They're brilliant with groups, even if you turn up unannounced, sometimes throwing in extras like free bowls of chips to make you feel special.
Areas for Improvement
  • No food service on Mondays and Tuesdays, which can be a bit of a letdown if you're after a meal with your drink.
  • The operating hours might vary or feel a tad inconsistent, so it's wise to double-check before heading out.

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 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.

Areas for Improvement
  • It's closed on Sundays, which is a bit of a shame if you're after a weekend wind-down.
  • Opening hours start a tad late in the week, so it might not suit those looking for an early pint.
  • With a moderate price tag, it could feel a touch pricey for a casual night out, depending on your budget.

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.
  • The food menu is spot on, with tasty burgers, wings, and even options for kids, plus some great deals like Wings Wednesday that add real value.
  • 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 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.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The historic building is absolutely stunning, with its Corinthian style and original features from the old banking hall, making every visit feel special and atmospheric.
  • The food and drinks are delicious across the board – from fluffy pancakes and waffles to tasty sharing plates and cocktails like the clementine margarita, there's something to suit all tastes.

  • It's a great spot for groups or celebrations, with options for private hire, group dining, and even bottomless brunch, plus a welcoming vibe for relaxed meals or lively gatherings.
Areas for Improvement
  • Prices are on the steeper side, so it might not be the best choice if you're watching your wallet, though that's expected for a place with such a fancy setting.
  • 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.

  • 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 atmosphere is lively and inviting, set in an interesting historical location that adds a nice touch of character.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's an adult-only venue, which means it's not the best choice if you're looking for a family-friendly spot.
  • The operating hours seem a bit muddled from what I've seen, with varying closing times listed, so it might be worth double-checking before heading out.
  • Without a claimed Google profile or a more detailed website, it's tricky to get all the latest info upfront, which could catch you off guard.

Areas for Improvement

  • Food can come out at different times for your group, which might mean one person is tucking in while others are still waiting, putting a slight dampener on the meal.
  • The atmosphere in the pub area is described as quite low-key, which could be peaceful for some but a tad quiet if you're after a lively buzz.

The Old Hare and Hounds is a welcoming local in Birmingham with friendly staff, tasty grub, and a cosy vibe that's ideal for a relaxed catch-up.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely lovely and welcoming, always ready for a chat and to sort out any needs – it's like popping in to see old mates.
  • The food is spot on, with a cracking selection including vegan options, hearty Sunday roasts, and dishes that leave you wanting more, all at a fair price.
  • It's dog-friendly with a nice area for furry friends, perfect after a stroll in the nearby Lickey Hills or parks.
  • The beer garden and cosy interiors make it a brilliant spot for catching up with friends or family, rain or shine.
  • Handy location near the M5 and M42, so it's easy to nip in for a relaxing pint or meal after exploring the area.
Areas for Improvement
  • The opening hours can be a tad early, typically wrapping up around 4 PM, which might disappoint if you're after a late-night session.
  • As it's part of a chain, it sometimes lacks that unique, one-off pub charm, feeling a bit more standardised than some independent spots.

Camp Inn is a charming little pub in Birmingham with friendly staff and a relaxed feel, ideal for a casual pint, though it could use more drink choices to keep things exciting.
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 a cosy, relaxing spot with a great atmosphere, perfect for a quick drink or enjoying a fun night with music like the DJ.
  • The pub has a welcoming vibe for groups, whether it's a casual catch-up or something more lively, and it's open every day from midday till 11 PM.
Areas for Improvement
  • The beer selection is quite limited, mostly sticking to standard lagers with no options like IPAs or pale ales, which might disappoint if you're after variety.
  • As a small pub, it can feel a bit snug, and if it gets busy, you might wish for more space to spread out.

The Peacock Inn is a welcoming country pub near Birmingham that's full of charm, with delicious food and a cosy vibe that makes it a favourite for a relaxed get-together, though it does have the odd hiccup with waits and service.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely spot on – think hearty pub classics and seasonal specials that really hit the spot, with rave reviews for things like the Sunday roasts and fresh desserts.
  • Friendly staff who go the extra mile; they've been described as welcoming and quick to sort out any issues, like offering free drinks when there's a wait.
  • Lovely atmosphere in this country-style pub, complete with a peaceful beer garden that's perfect for escaping the hustle of Birmingham and enjoying a pint or two.
  • Great value for money, especially with their new menus and special offers that make it an affordable treat for a casual night out.
Areas for Improvement
  • Sometimes there's a bit of a wait for your table, even with a booking, which can put a dampener on the evening.
  • Occasional mix-ups with orders, like getting the wrong dish or delays in serving, as mentioned in a few reviews which stopped it from being a full five-star experience.
  • Not everything is seamless – for instance, smaller portions or specific requests might not always come out quite right the first time.

Pros and Cons

  • The staff are friendly and efficient, always serving with a smile even when it's busy, making you feel right at home.
  • It's got a fantastic atmosphere with stunning restored 1920s features, spacious indoor and outdoor seating, and a big garden area that's perfect for groups or enjoying live sports on multiple screens.
  • A great selection of drinks, from craft beers and cask ales to cocktails and coffee, plus regular events and live music that keep things lively.
  • They're big on live sports, with plenty of screens inside and out, so it's an ideal spot to catch a game with a pint and good company.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some of the modern updates and needs can slightly spoil the original historical charm of the building, making it feel a bit less authentic in places.
  • It can get quite busy, especially during events, matches, or peak times, which might mean longer waits even though the staff handle it well.

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.
  • They've got a fantastic range of options, including kids' menus, veggie and vegan choices, and even a special Sunday menu, so there's something for everyone.
  • Dogs are more than welcome, which is brilliant if you're out with your furry mate, and the staff can be really friendly and efficient when things go smoothly.
  • It's conveniently located near Bournville train station and has that classic British pub charm that makes you feel right at home.
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.
  • While the overall rating is solid, recent reviews show a dip in quality, with an average of just 3.3 out of 5, suggesting it might not be as reliable lately.

Areas for Improvement
  • There have been a few grumbles about the cleanliness, like dirty floors and greasy carpets, which could put you off if you're fussy about that.

  • The food here is absolutely spot on – think tasty starters like calamari fritti and hearty mains that really hit the mark, leaving you feeling satisfied.
  • Service is top-notch with friendly and attentive staff who make you feel welcome, ensuring everything runs smoothly from start to finish.
  • They've got great value offers, like two courses for £30 for two people, which makes it a brilliant choice for a budget-friendly night out.
  • The atmosphere is lovely and relaxing, perfect for catching up with friends over a meal or a drink in the separate bar area.
  • Portion sizes are generous, so you get plenty on your plate without feeling short-changed.
Areas for Improvement
  • Drinks can be a bit pricey, especially soft ones like Pepsi, which might surprise you if you're not going for the alcoholic options.
  • The outdoor seating is in the carpark area, which isn't as inviting as you'd hope and could feel a tad underwhelming on a nice day.
  • Overall, it might come across as a little expensive for the quality, particularly if you're watching your wallet on a regular basis.

Pros and Cons

  • The live music and gigs are absolutely brilliant – it's a fantastic spot for catching local bands or a late-night boogie, making every visit feel special.
  • They've got a cracking selection of drinks, including local draughts and unique spirits, plus options like Kronenbourg 1664 0% on tap, which is perfect for those wanting a non-alcoholic choice.
  • The atmosphere is so welcoming and lively; it's ideal for a casual catch-up with mates or enjoying a stylish setting with friendly staff and a quirky layout that feels like a hidden gem.
  • It's super dog-friendly, which is great if you're popping in with your furry friend, and they've got a lovely outdoor area for when the weather's nice.
  • The food and service are top-notch, with a real emphasis on warmth and hospitality that makes you feel right at home.
Areas for Improvement
  • The opening hours can be a tad unpredictable, especially with private functions that might affect availability, so it's worth checking ahead to avoid disappointment.
  • It seems more geared towards events and gigs, which means it might not always be the quietest spot if you're just after a relaxed pint without the buzz.
  • From what I've gathered, there might be some confusion around the venue's status at times, so double-checking if it's open could save a trip.

  • Rooms are clean and comfy, with those super-comfy beds and powerful showers that Premier Inn is known for – perfect for a good rest after a day out.
  • Free parking and Wi-Fi are a nice touch, and they've got family and accessible rooms that cater to different needs without any fuss.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's a real shame the pub has shut down; the photos online are a bit misleading, and you're left with just a small kitchen/diner offering a limited menu.
  • Breakfast can be disappointing at times – it might take ages to arrive, and it's often cold or poorly stocked, which puts a damper on the start of your day.
  • Some areas feel a bit run down, like out-of-order toilets or rooms that aren't always perfectly prepared, such as beds not made or not enough towels.
  • Service can be inconsistent due to what seems like minimal staffing, even though the team is trying their best.

The Village in Moseley is a cracking little pub with friendly vibes, solid grub, and attentive service that makes it ideal for a relaxed catch-up with mates.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – always polite, attentive, and quick to sort out any special requests, like handling allergies with real care.
  • The food is a real highlight; think delicious Sunday roasts, tasty desserts like biscoff cheesecake, and meals that come out promptly, especially for larger groups.
  • It's got a lovely, welcoming atmosphere with cosy booths and a clean, posh feel that makes you want to linger over a pint or a meal.
  • They handle big bookings smoothly, which is great if you're planning a family gathering or a special occasion.
  • Plenty of options for events and even on-site parking, which is handy for popping in without the hassle.
Areas for Improvement
  • There might be the odd slip-up with food service in larger groups, like a meal going missing, though they do fix it quickly.
  • The website's a bit basic and doesn't give much detail beyond contact info, so you might need to call ahead for more specifics.
  • Food service wraps up fairly early, around 9pm most days, which could be a shame if you're after a late-night bite.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and always go the extra mile, making you feel right at home from the get-go.
  • They've got a fantastic selection of real ales and other drinks, like Bathams and Aspalls, which are just spot on for a proper pint.
  • The homemade cobs and pub grub are straightforward and tasty, offering great value without any fuss.

Areas for Improvement

  • Friendly and attentive staff who really make you feel welcome

Areas for Improvement

Tap & Spile Birmingham is a charming canal-side pub with warm staff and a relaxed feel, making it a top pick for a laid-back pint and some local lore.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – friendly, welcoming, and full of fascinating stories about the local canals and history.
  • It's got a prime spot right by the Birmingham canals, making it a perfect place to soak up the city vibes while enjoying a pint.
  • Prices are spot on for a city centre pub, and they're rolling out a full food menu soon, which sounds like it'll be a treat.
  • The atmosphere is cosy and inviting, ideal for a relaxed chat or a quiet evening with a good beer.
  • It's got that authentic Birmingham charm, even being a filming location for Peaky Blinders – what a fun claim to fame!
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 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 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 Actress & Bishop is a cracking pub in Birmingham with a lively music scene and great outdoor space, but watch out for the occasional grumpy staff and crowded spots.
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.

  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – always welcoming and chatting away, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • It's got that classic cosy pub vibe with a great atmosphere, perfect for catching up with mates over a pint or two.
  • The selection of ales is spot on, especially the Wainwright, and they're kept really well for a top-notch taste.

  • It's dog-friendly and has a nice rear courtyard, plus they're planning exciting events like live music, which sounds like a real treat.
Areas for Improvement
  • The operating hours seem a bit muddled from what I've seen, with varying times listed, which might leave you guessing if you're popping in on a Sunday.
  • No website means it's trickier to check out menus or events in advance – you'd have to just turn up and hope for the best.
  • While the reviews are glowing, the overall rating suggests there might be the odd off day, so it could be hit or miss depending on when you go.

The Little Beech is a lively local pub with a cracking outside space and decent drinks, but it's let down by dodgy food and service – worth a try if you're just popping in for a bevvy.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The outside area is a real gem – plenty of space and undercover seating, perfect for a chat on a sunny day.
  • They've got a solid selection of drinks, including ciders, Guinness, Doom Bar, and a few lagers like Madri, which always hits the spot.
  • It's buzzing with a younger crowd and plays some good music, making it feel lively and welcoming for a casual get-together.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some reviews mention the food being absolutely dire – it's made people ill, which is a big no-go if you're planning a meal.
  • Drinks can be on the steep side, so you might end up spending more than expected for a pint.
  • The toilets are apparently in a shocking state, with no handwash and mess everywhere, which really puts a damper on things.
  • Customer service has been called out as pretty awful in a few accounts, leaving a sour taste after what could be a nice visit.

What's Great
  • The staff at the Vine Inn are absolutely brilliant – always friendly, welcoming, and ready to make you feel right at home, which really adds to the cosy vibe.
  • They've got some cracking cobs and a lovely beer garden that's perfect for a relaxing pint on a sunny day, making it a great spot for a casual get-together.

Areas for Improvement
  • A few folks have mentioned feeling a bit unwelcome or stared at when they visit, which can spoil the experience if you're not a regular.
  • There have been complaints about dirty toilets and even underage drinkers, which isn't what you'd hope for in a local spot.
  • It can get quite noisy at times, as one person noted about their visit, so if you're after a peaceful evening, it might not be the best choice.

New Inn

4.2(105 reviews)
83/100
The New Inn is a charming local pub in Rowley Regis that's had a freshen-up and offers great beer and vibes, but it stumbles a bit on food and service consistency.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The pub's had a lovely refurbishment under new management, with fresh paint inside and a separated outdoor seating area that makes it feel more inviting.
  • Staff are warm and welcoming, creating a friendly atmosphere that's perfect for a relaxed evening.
  • They serve a proper pint of beer that's spot on, which is always a winner for a good old pub session.
  • Prices are competitive, making it an affordable spot for a bite or a drink without breaking the bank.
Areas for Improvement
  • Food options can be hit or miss; sometimes there's nothing but out-of-date crisps on offer, which is a bit disappointing.
  • Service might drag on if the staff are glued to their phones, leading to waits even when it's not busy.
  • Portions aren't always generous, and the grub might not live up to expectations, especially for a traditional pub meal.
  • Recent feedback suggests it's not consistently reliable, with some visits feeling lacklustre compared to its heyday.

83/100
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.

The Thurlestone is a solid local gem in Birmingham with warm service and lively events, but it's got a few niggles around accessibility and recent activity.
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 a cracking selection of beers and some really nice food options that hit the spot after a long day.
  • It's got that community vibe with fun events like quiz nights, darts, and parties – perfect for a good laugh with mates.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's a bit frustrating that there's no easy way to contact them, like a proper phone number, which could leave you hanging if you need to check something.
  • From what I've heard, some areas like the lounge might be closed at times, which could put a dampener on your visit.
  • It seems a tad quiet these days with not much recent feedback, so it might not be as buzzing as it once was.

The Oak Tree is a welcoming pub in Birmingham that's spot on for family days out or casual drinks, with friendly service and tasty grub, though it has its off moments with food consistency.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant, always welcoming and going the extra mile to make you feel at home – like that warm greeting from Sally or Stacey that really sets the tone for a great visit.
  • They've got a cracking menu with delicious, generous portions; think magnificent mains, personalised pizzas, and some top-notch puds that leave you satisfied.
  • It's super family-friendly and dog-friendly too, perfect for popping in after a walk with the whole gang, including your furry mate, and they've even got a lovely pub garden for enjoying the outdoors.
  • With deals like 30% off mains and a range of events, it's a budget-friendly spot that's great for casual meet-ups or larger gatherings.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some dishes can be hit or miss, like the steak that was tough as old boots in one review, or fried items that seemed overdone and not quite fresh.
  • A few folks have mentioned that the food didn't always live up to expectations, especially for vegetarians or when things aren't cooked just right, which is a bit disappointing after that initial warm welcome.
  • It might not be the most consistent experience every time, as a couple of reviews pointed out issues with food quality despite the overall positive vibe.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The beer selection is absolutely brilliant, with affordable options like guest beers for just £1.99 – perfect for a cheeky pint without breaking the bank.
  • The atmosphere is really welcoming and lively, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a good chat with mates.
  • Staff are incredibly friendly and helpful; they've been known to sort out any issues quickly, like remaking food or accommodating special needs.
  • It's excellent value for money overall, with filling meals and drinks that leave you satisfied without spending a fortune.
  • Plenty of outdoor space with beer gardens and decent parking, which is a nice bonus for a casual visit or a sunny day out.
Areas for Improvement
  • Food quality can be hit or miss, with some items coming out overcooked or a bit rubbery, like eggs or burgers that don't quite hit the mark.
  • Occasionally, dishes might taste overly chargrilled, which isn't always what you're after when you're tucking into a meal.
  • Even though service is generally quick, the food preparation might not always live up to expectations, especially if the place is buzzing.
  • It can feel a tad inconsistent, so you might have a fabulous visit one day and a slightly underwhelming one the next.

  • It's got a lovely atmosphere with a modern yet cosy interior, complete with original features that make it feel welcoming and homely.
  • The beer garden is a real gem, perfect for soaking up the sun on a warm day, and it's great for family get-togethers or just catching up with mates.
  • Service is generally top-notch; some folks have mentioned polite and helpful staff who make you feel right at home.
  • Convenient location with free parking, making it easy to pop in after a day out in Birmingham, and it's open from early till late most days.
Areas for Improvement
  • Service can be a bit hit or miss – one person noted the staff seemed a tad forced or not as approachable, which might put a dampener on things.
  • Occasional niggles with the food, like not quite enough veg on the plate during a meal, even if the rest is delicious.
  • It might not stand out as the friendliest spot every time, based on a few comments about the counter service feeling a bit off.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Prices are spot on for the city centre, offering great value on food and drinks without breaking the bank.

  • 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.

  • 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 Roebuck is a charming Birmingham city centre pub with a great buzz, affordable drinks, and solid food, making it a go-to for a relaxed evening.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is just lovely, with a welcoming vibe that's perfect for catching up with mates or unwinding after a long day.
  • They've got cracking deals on cocktails, like two for £12, which make it a brilliant spot for a cheeky night out without breaking the bank.
  • The staff are really friendly and attentive, always up for a chat and making you feel right at home.
  • Plenty of fun things to do, like playing darts or pool, or catching the latest sports on the telly, which keeps the energy lively.
  • The food hits the spot – think tasty options like spicy buffalo wings and crispy fish and chips, all made with fresh ingredients.
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.

The New Cotterridge Inn is a welcoming bar in Birmingham with a modern vibe and friendly faces, but it has its rough edges with service slip-ups that could sour the experience.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are genuinely friendly and go the extra mile to make your visit enjoyable, like Chloe who really helped make one evening special.
  • It's got a clean and modern party room that's perfect for gatherings, giving it a fresh and welcoming feel.
  • The atmosphere is lively with nice music, reminding you of a classic British spot that's fun and relaxed.
Areas for Improvement
  • There have been instances of rude behaviour from management, which can really put a dampener on things.
  • Booking issues, like problems with ticket reservations and payments, might leave you feeling frustrated.
  • The food for events is often overpriced and doesn't live up to expectations, so it's worth thinking twice before committing.

The Man on the Moon is a welcoming Birmingham local with cracking food and a community vibe, but it's held back by noise and a few maintenance woes.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food here is absolutely spot on – think sizzling skillets and flame-grilled burgers that hit the spot without costing a fortune.
  • Staff are generally warm and attentive, making you feel right at home, especially when they're on form like in some of the recent visits.
  • It's a proper community hub with great value deals, fresh ingredients including vegan and veggie options, and even free function space for local groups.
  • Perfect for a relaxed catch-up with mates, whether you're tucking into pub grub, watching the sport, or just unwinding in a traditional setting.
Areas for Improvement
  • The noise from the TVs or music can be a real nuisance, making it hard to have a proper chat, as a few folks have mentioned.
  • The place feels a bit outdated and could do with a good tidy-up – we've heard about cigarette ends and smashed glass outside, which isn't ideal.
  • Some staff interactions can be off-putting, with reports of shouting or rudeness that spoil the atmosphere.
  • The new menu's gone a bit heavy on the spice, and not everyone's a fan, plus there are issues like out-of-order toilets that let things down.

The Black Horse is a charming Wetherspoon in Birmingham with cracking affordable drinks and a fabulous beer garden, but watch out for the occasional table mess.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The beer garden is absolutely superb, with plenty of seating and even its own bowling green – perfect for a relaxed afternoon out.
  • Drinks are incredibly affordable, just what you'd expect from a Wetherspoon, making it a brilliant spot for a budget-friendly pint.
  • The food is generally spot on – hot, tasty, and served quickly, with a warm welcome that makes you feel right at home.
  • It's got a lovely historic building with great disabled access and free parking, which adds to the overall convenience.
Areas for Improvement
  • Tables often go uncleaned after folks leave, leaving them sticky and messy, which can put a bit of a dampener on the experience.
  • The menu could do with a refresh; it's a bit stale and some options, like the half chicken, might not be everyone's cup of tea anymore.
  • Every now and then, there are slip-ups with the food, like undercooked items, though the staff are quick to sort it out if you mention it.

The Bulls Head in King's Norton is a solid local pub that's ace for sports and gatherings, with a warm feel and friendly service, though it has its occasional slip-ups like hygiene issues.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The Bulls Head offers a really welcoming atmosphere, perfect for catching up with mates over a pint in a cosy spot.
  • It's brilliant for sports fans, with regular coverage of Sky Sports and TNT, making it a top choice for watching the big games.

Areas for Improvement

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 unbeatable drink offers and decent prices, so you can enjoy a proper pint without breaking the bank.
  • It's a great spot for watching live sports like football or rugby, with a lively atmosphere that gets everyone buzzing.
  • The traditional pub vibe is spot on – it's a real community hub, dog-friendly too, which is always a bonus for us dog lovers.
  • Weekend entertainment keeps things fun, and it's in a handy location for locals wrapping up their day.
Areas for Improvement
  • They don't serve food, so if you're after a meal with your drink, you'll have to pop somewhere else first.
  • It can get pretty crowded and stuffy inside, especially on busier nights, which might make it a bit uncomfortable.
  • The area around it's a bit industrial, so it's not the most picturesque spot for a scenic outing.
  • Staff are often rushed off their feet, which means service can be a tad slow when things pick up.

The RoadHouse Birmingham is a cracking live music venue with a lively atmosphere and friendly faces, but it's currently shut, which is a bit of a downer.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The live music scene is absolutely brilliant, with great bands and a welcoming atmosphere that draws in all ages, making it a real community hub.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, always adding to the positive vibe of the place.
  • It's got a huge stage and top-notch technical setup, which makes for an awesome experience if you're into performing or just enjoying live acts.
  • There's an upstairs room and an outside area, perfect for a breather or soaking in the evening vibes.
  • Even if rock isn't your thing, the relaxed atmosphere and great cocktails can make for a enjoyable night out.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's a bit tucked away on the outskirts, which might make it tricky to get to from the city centre.
  • There are quite a few cover bands rather than original acts, which could feel a tad repetitive for some.
  • Sound quality has been an issue in the past, with one experience really letting down the bands and the overall enjoyment.
  • Sadly, it's currently closed, and there's no sign of it reopening soon, which is a real shame for music lovers in Birmingham.
  • With no website or online presence, it's not the easiest place to keep up with what's on or get more info.

Areas for Improvement
  • There have been issues with late check-ins, where the place is shut even when it's meant to be open, which can be a real letdown.
  • Some rooms have doors that stick and need a firm slam to close, which might disrupt your peace a bit.

The King's Arms in King's Heath is a proper gem of a pub, serving up delicious grub and cracking deals in a welcoming setting, though it's not without the odd hiccup with food consistency.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely spot on – think hearty pub classics, stacked burgers, and authentic curries that hit the spot every time, with options like an all-day breakfast to keep you going.
  • Fantastic value for money with those weekly deals, like two meals for £15 on weekdays or a burger and pint for just £12 on Tuesdays – perfect for a budget-friendly night out.
  • The staff are so friendly and welcoming; they go out of their way to make you feel at home, even tailoring dishes to your liking if you ask nicely.
  • You've got award-winning Davenports ales at reasonable prices, plus happy hours and live sport on the telly, making it a cracking spot for a relaxed catch-up with mates.
  • It's got a great atmosphere in the heart of King's Heath, with a recent refurb that makes the place look fresh and inviting.
Areas for Improvement
  • Food quality can be a bit hit or miss; some reviews mentioned meals not being hot enough or things like dry bread and chewy chicken, which is a shame when the rest is so good.
  • As it's unclaimed by the owners, it might not get the same level of attention or updates as other spots, potentially leading to the occasional slip-up in service or consistency.
  • The operating hours seem a tad confusing from what's listed, with varying closing times, so it's worth double-checking before heading out to avoid any disappointment.

  • The food is spot on – think delicious sizzling skillets, flame-grilled burgers, and even great vegan and vegetarian options, all at honest, fair prices.
  • Staff are generally fantastic, always helpful and going the extra mile, like sorting out table bookings with ease or recommending tasty dishes.

  • A top choice for all sorts of occasions, whether it's catching up with mates over drinks, enjoying live music, or a family meal.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some staff can seem a bit off on certain days, with reports of them being in a mood or not as attentive as you'd hope.
  • Drinks portions might be on the small side, like getting vodka and cokes in tiny glasses, which could leave you feeling short-changed.
  • The place has had mentions of needing a bit of a spruce-up, as it's due for a refurbishment, so it might not feel as fresh as it could be right now.

The Golden Cross is a classic Wetherspoon pub in Bromsgrove that's got a warm vibe and friendly faces, but watch out for those occasional gripes with portions and crowds.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely lovely and really go the extra mile, like that chap Reece who got such high praise for his top-notch hospitality.
  • The food hits the spot when it's good – think tasty jacket potatoes and cold lagers that go down a treat, especially for a quick bite in a bustling spot.
  • It's a popular place, which means it's always lively and full of character, making for a great atmosphere if you're up for some good company.
  • Being a Wetherspoon, it's generally affordable and conveniently located on the high street with easy parking nearby.
Areas for Improvement
  • Portion sizes can be a bit disappointing, like not getting enough chips with your burger or skimpy amounts of sauce on the wraps, which leaves you wanting more for the price.
  • Sometimes changes to the menu, such as reducing the chipotle sauce, can make a favourite dish feel lacklustre and not quite up to scratch.
  • It gets really busy, so you might end up waiting for a table, which isn't ideal if you're after a relaxed visit.
  • With no clear operating hours listed, it might be tricky to plan a trip, and the overall experience can vary depending on the day.

  • There can be issues with parking policies, as one person mentioned getting a ticket even for a short stop, which might put a dampener on things if you're driving.
  • Without a website, it's a bit tricky to check out the latest details or hours before heading over.

The Knights Quest is a welcoming pub in Blackheath with a lively atmosphere and great music, perfect for a fun weekend gathering, though it might not buzz as much mid-week.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely buzzing, especially on weekends with lively events and a cracking soundtrack that gets everyone in the mood.
  • They've got a fantastic selection of drinks at really affordable prices, making it a wallet-friendly spot for a night out.
  • The DJ is a real gem, mixing up superb tracks that keep the energy high and the dance floor packed.
  • The owner is incredibly helpful and flexible, going out of their way to accommodate special events like wakes or parties.
Areas for Improvement
  • It seems to focus more on the weekend crowd, so things can feel a bit quiet during the week if you're after a lively vibe.
  • Some have mentioned it's lost a touch of its old charm from years back, now more geared towards weekend entertainment rather than a traditional pub feel all the time.

Walkabout in Birmingham is a cracking spot for sports fans and groups looking for a lively vibe, with solid deals and friendly service, though it has its off moments.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is buzzing, especially for live sports – those HD screens make you feel right in the thick of the action, perfect for catching a match with mates.

  • There might be hit-or-miss moments with the entertainment setup, as it seems like they don't always cater perfectly to what folks want to watch.
  • While it's generally affordable, some might find the overall experience a tad inconsistent, depending on the day or the crowd.

The Briar Rose is a welcoming Wetherspoons spot in Birmingham that's all about great value and convenience, with friendly service and comfy stays, though it has a few niggles like dim lighting and occasional noise.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • 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 rooms are a treat if you're staying over, with comfy beds, brilliant showers, and nice little freebies like tea, coffee, and hot chocolate available throughout.
  • 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.

Pros and Cons
What's Great

  • It's got a cracking atmosphere, with a cosy vibe and unique touches like those amazing resin table tops crafted by a local artist.
  • Plenty of fun activities on offer, such as free pool and darts on Wednesdays and Saturdays, plus Muay Thai classes upstairs where you can grab a refreshment while you wait.
  • Drinks are top-notch, and it's a great spot for a casual pint or soft drink if you're driving.
  • Open every day from midday, so it's perfect for a relaxed Sunday session or a midweek catch-up.
Areas for Improvement
  • Food options seem a bit limited; some folks mentioned not having any or sticking to soft drinks if driving, which might disappoint if you're after a full meal.
  • No website listed, so it's tricky to check the latest details online before heading out.
  • With only a handful of recent reviews, it might not give the full picture of how things are going these days, even though the overall rating is solid.

  • They've got a good vibe overall, open from early morning till late, and it's conveniently located near the town centre for an easy stop-off after shopping or a day out.
Areas for Improvement
  • While most dishes hit the spot, some meals are just okay rather than outstanding, like one review mentioned the lamb and samosa being fine but not memorable.
  • With an overall rating around the 4 mark, it might not wow everyone every time, so if you're after something truly exceptional, it could fall a bit short on consistency.

Toby Carvery Kings Norton is a welcoming spot for a hearty British roast, with friendly service and great value, though it can get a bit hectic and has the odd slip-up with food prep.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The roasts are absolutely spot on – they've been perfecting them for 40 years, and you can taste the care in every bite, with fresh veggies and tender meats.
  • The staff are a real highlight; folks like Debs and Sandra go above and beyond, staying cheerful even when they're stretched thin, making you feel right at home.
  • It's brilliant value for money, being on the inexpensive side, with all-you-can-eat options, a kids' menu, and a good range of drinks to wash it all down.
  • Super family-friendly vibe, ideal for gathering with mates or loved ones over a classic British meal, and it's open seven days a week from early morning till late.
  • Location's a winner – easy to get to by car or bus, right in Birmingham, so no faffing about finding the place.
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.
  • There have been a few gripes about cleanliness, like bins not being handled properly, that could do with some attention to keep things up to scratch.
  • It gets busy, especially on weekends, so you might end up queuing or dealing with a bit of a rush, even if they do their best to accommodate.

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.
  • Deals on cheap drinks and cocktails are brilliant for keeping things affordable, especially on those themed nights like Too Pounded Monday – perfect for a budget-friendly night out.
  • It's got a great selection of drinks and food, with 14 amazing cocktails and popular dishes that hit the spot after a long week of lectures.
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.
  • As it's geared towards students, it might not appeal to everyone – if you're not in that scene, the wild energy and student-only events could feel a tad exclusive or too lively for a relaxed pint.

  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – always friendly, efficient, and make the whole experience feel warm and welcoming, just like chatting with mates.
  • They've got some cracking deals, like the daytime lunch offer with mains under £8, making it a great spot for a budget-friendly bite.
  • The food hits the spot when it's on form, with tasty options like flavoursome breakfasts and steaks that leave you satisfied.
  • It's got a lovely atmosphere, clean and well-organised, perfect for a relaxed meal or catch-up with friends.
Areas for Improvement
  • Food quality can be a bit hit and miss; some dishes, like the steak pie, might come out small or not quite warm enough, which is a shame.
  • There's a sense of inconsistency in the meals, so you might not always get the same level of enjoyment every visit.

Food is very flavoursome, I can’t fault the service so far! Billy and Kerry are fantastic in what they do in terms of their mannerisms and are a credit to the restaurant. Very attentive and nothing is...

The Highlander is a welcoming Birmingham pub with a solid vibe, friendly faces, and good value, though it has its off moments that might not suit everyone.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – friendly, welcoming, and really make you feel at home, like chatting with old mates.
  • It's a family-friendly spot with plenty of events on offer, making it a great place for a relaxed get-together.
  • Prices are spot on for a good night out, keeping things affordable without skimping on the fun.

Artisan Micro Bar is a welcoming little pub in Blackheath, serving up quality cask ales under new management, though it's still building its reputation.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • They've got some cracking cask ales on offer, perfect for those who appreciate a proper pint.
  • It's under new management with plans for a refurbishment, which suggests they're keen to improve and keep things fresh.
  • Open every day from 11 AM, making it a reliable spot for a casual get-together without worrying about closures.
Areas for Improvement
  • With only a couple of reviews out there, it's tough to get a real sense of what regulars think – it might be flying under the radar.
  • Their website's a bit of a mess with errors, so it's not the easiest place to check menus or events before heading over.
  • No phone number listed means you might have to pop in to sort any queries, which isn't ideal if you're planning ahead.

The Rouslers Bar in Bromsgrove is a bit of a mixed bag – brilliant for events with its lovely setup and grub, but let down by inconsistent service and some dodgy encounters.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The bar is fully stocked with a good selection of drinks at reasonable prices, which makes it a decent spot for a casual drink.
  • They really shine when it comes to events like weddings, with thoughtful decorations and a generous buffet that caters to all tastes.
  • The staff can be friendly and efficient at their best, creating a welcoming vibe for those special occasions.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some staff members, like the bar manager mentioned in reviews, come across as quite rude and can make you feel uncomfortable during your visit.
  • There have been reports of poor handling of situations, including unfounded accusations and even physical incidents, which really puts a damper on the experience.
  • The place seems to have taken a turn for the worse lately, with complaints about overall service quality and a general sense that it's not what it used to be.

This is a horrible outing. I absolutely do not recommend. Since they got rid of all the old bar staff this place has turned shambles and not worth going to. Especially if the blonde woman (i believe s...
