Tonight Josephine - Birmingham

Verified
4.8(2775 reviews)
96/100
Tonight Josephine in Birmingham is a fabulous cocktail bar with cracking service, delicious drinks, and a fun, vibrant vibe that's perfect for a memorable evening out.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant and make you feel right at home with their warm, efficient service.
  • Cocktails are top-notch and full of flavour – especially those unique ones like the milkshake variety that everyone's raving about.
  • The atmosphere is spot on with its bold, pink décor and sassy vibes, perfect for a lively night out with friends.
  • They've got fantastic themed events like bottomless brunches, which are ideal for celebrations and add a fun twist to your visit.
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.

The Ruin in Birmingham is a cracking little spot with a warm, welcoming feel, brilliant staff, and smashing outdoor areas – ideal for a relaxed pint or a bite with friends.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – always friendly, attentive, and make you feel right at home, whether you're popping in for a quick pint or settling in for the evening.
  • The atmosphere is spot on; it's got this cosy, welcoming vibe with nooks for chatting with mates and a fantastic rooftop terrace that's perfect for soaking up the sun with a cold lager in hand.
  • Drinks are top-notch, especially the Guinness and the selection of lagers on tap – always fresh and just what you fancy after a long day.
  • The food sounds like a real treat; from outstanding Sunday roasts to delicious beef tacos, it's clear they've got some cracking options that hit the spot.
  • Prices are spot on for what you get – not breaking the bank, and the relaxed beer garden with chilled music adds a lovely touch for unwinding.
Areas for Improvement
  • The operating hours seem a bit muddled from what I've seen, with varying times listed, which might leave you scratching your head about when it's actually open – always best to double-check before heading out.
  • The website's a tad basic and doesn't give much detail, so you might not get a full picture before visiting, which could be a minor letdown if you're after more info upfront.
  • It could get quite busy, especially around events or Blues games, so you might have to queue or struggle for a seat on popular nights, which isn't ideal for a spontaneous visit.

The Old Moseley Arms is a proper gem of a pub in Birmingham, where you can enjoy top-notch real ales, tasty Indian grub, and a genuinely friendly atmosphere.
Pros and Cons
What's Great

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is really welcoming and friendly, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • They've got a fantastic selection of drinks, from tasty ciders on tap to alcohol-free options, so there's something for everyone.
  • The food is spot on – think delicious fish and chips, loaded fries, and even duck spring rolls that hit the spot.
  • The pub cat, Ellie, adds such a lovely, homely touch; she's a real highlight and makes the place feel extra special.
  • Service is generally top-notch, with staff going out of their way to help, like sorting out any issues quickly and efficiently.
  • It's a historic spot in Birmingham, with a great location not far from the station, and it's affordably priced too.
Areas for Improvement
  • There can be the odd rude member of staff behind the bar, which puts a bit of a dampener on things if you're unlucky enough to encounter them.
  • Some rooms might have minor issues, like a leak, though to be fair, the team seems to handle these promptly.

The Good Intent is a charming Birmingham spot with cracking beers, a friendly vibe, and thoughtful extras like allowing your own grub – ideal for a relaxed catch-up over drinks.

  • It's got a wonderfully welcoming atmosphere, complete with comforting decor and a bit of good music that makes you feel right at home
  • The service is top-notch – the staff are courteous and make you feel looked after from the moment you walk in
  • They've got a flexible approach, like letting you bring your own lunch to pair with a pint or a gin and tonic, which is a lovely touch
  • The bar food is excellent, especially those sandwiches from nearby – a real treat if you're peckish

Dead Wax Digbeth is a lively spot in Digbeth with fantastic live music, a welcoming vibe, and quirky charm, though it doesn't always match the hype on its website.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The live music scene is absolutely brilliant – top-notch sound quality that makes you feel right in the thick of it.
  • It's got this warm, inclusive atmosphere where everyone just wants to have a good time, no pretences at all.
  • The staff are dead friendly; you'll have chats with the security bloke or get brilliant service from the bar team.
  • Quirky decor everywhere, like a proper New York dive bar with vinyls, posters, and even a photobooth – it's all so unique and fun.
  • Great selection of drinks, including a cracking pint of Guinness, plus an outdoor beer garden and live sports to enjoy.
Areas for Improvement
  • The website might get your hopes up for things like playing your own vinyl records, but it's not always on offer, which can be a bit disappointing.
  • They advertise food options like pizza, but it's not available, so you might end up needing to head elsewhere for a bite.
  • Opening times can vary, and it might not always live up to every promise, leaving you with a slight let-down if you're set on specifics.

Areas for Improvement

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • It's got that lovely traditional pub atmosphere with a real local feel that makes you feel right at home.
  • The bar staff are absolutely charming and go out of their way to make your visit enjoyable.
  • They've got a cracking selection of beers, including what sounds like a stellar pint of Guinness – one of the best in Birmingham, apparently.
  • The large outdoor garden area is brilliant for a relaxed sit-down, especially on a nice day.
  • Live jazz nights add a fun touch, even if they're not always spot-on, it's still a nice extra.
Areas for Improvement
  • Drinks can be a bit steep on the wallet, like shelling out £5.50 for a cider, which feels like a right rip-off.
  • Some folks have mentioned watered-down drinks, such as a rum and coke that's more coke than rum – not ideal for a proper night out.
  • The entertainment, like the jazz nights, hasn't always hit the mark and can leave you a bit disappointed.
  • There have been upsetting incidents, such as issues with assistance dogs, which really shouldn't happen and could put people off.

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

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 Bartons Arms is a charming gastropub in Birmingham with fantastic food and a historic vibe, though it has a few niggles like limited options and occasional quiet spells.

Yuwies Good Food is a solid little spot in Birmingham for grabbing a delicious breakfast or lunch, with friendly service and some standout dishes that keep you coming back.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely spot on, with highlights like the wonderfully soft coco bread and tender pulled lamb that really hit the spot.
  • They've got a great selection for breakfast and brunch, using high-quality ingredients like fresh bagels and muffins that feel a cut above the usual.
  • The service is consistently polite and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • It's open early and runs seven days a week, which is brilliant if you're after a proper meal to start your day, especially before other places get going.
Areas for Improvement
  • The jerk chicken can be a bit underwhelming – it's tasty enough, but it doesn't pack the spicy punch some folks might hope for.
  • Prices are on the higher end for what you get, so it might feel a tad steep if you're watching your wallet.
  • As a takeaway spot, it lacks that cosy sit-down atmosphere you sometimes crave for a relaxed meal.

  • If you're not a Birmingham City fan, it might feel a tad exclusive, as it's geared towards home supporters.

Areas for Improvement

The Eagle & Ball is a charming Victorian pub in Birmingham with fabulous staff, tasty grub, and a cosy vibe, though it has the occasional slip-up.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant, especially Liv who's a real standout behind the bar – everyone seems to love her friendly and efficient service.
  • The food is a winner, with burgers getting rave reviews as some of the best around, making it a top spot for a satisfying meal.
  • It has a warm, welcoming atmosphere that feels like a second home, perfect for turning friends into family over a few drinks.
  • Tucked away in the heart of Birmingham's Eastside, it's a great little spot that's easy to pop into after work or an event.
Areas for Improvement
  • There can be inconsistent service, as one experience was quite off-putting with unhelpful staff and disappointing food.
  • Opening hours are limited to weekdays only, which might not work for those looking to visit on weekends – it's mostly for private hire then.
  • While most visits are positive, that odd bad day could leave you waiting longer than expected or with a meal that doesn't quite hit the mark.

Areas for Improvement
  • Prices can feel a bit steep compared to other local spots, which might catch you off guard if you're expecting more budget-friendly options.

  • They've got a brilliant selection of real ales and drinks, with frequent rotations to keep things fresh and exciting.
  • The atmosphere is warm and traditional, with that cosy Victorian vibe and even a nod to J.R.R. Tolkien – perfect for a relaxing pint.

  • The pub grub is spot on, with vegan-friendly options that go beyond the usual fare, ideal for a group gathering.
Areas for Improvement

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • That roaring fireplace adds a lovely touch, especially on a chilly evening, and there's plenty of outdoor seating for when the weather's nice.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's a bit of a trek from the city centre, so you might need to plan your walk if you're coming from Birmingham's main spots.
  • The pool table could do with some fixing up, which might put a dampener on things if you're in the mood for a game.
  • The operating hours seem a tad confusing with varying times listed, so it's worth double-checking before heading out.

Casey Joe's is a lovely local bar in Birmingham with fantastic food, friendly vibes, and great service that makes it a real gem for a casual get-together.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely spot on, especially their Sunday dinners which are a proper treat and get top marks from everyone.
  • They serve a cracking pint of Guinness and other drinks that hit the spot every time.
  • The staff are warm and welcoming, with Jolene and her team going above and beyond to make you feel right at home.
  • It's a brilliant spot for events and family functions, with a great atmosphere that makes any gathering memorable.
  • The place is clean and tidy, right down to the immaculate toilets, which is always a nice touch.
Areas for Improvement
  • One of the bar stools needs a bit of fixing as it caught someone's clothing, so you might want to keep an eye out for that.
  • It's a shame they don't have a website, which makes it trickier to check out menus or events online before heading over.

What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely spot on – it's stylish, relaxed, and full of quirky charm, making it a brilliant spot for catching up with mates.
  • Staff are super welcoming and friendly, always quick with service and adding to that cosy, professional vibe.

  • It can get a bit crowded around the pool tables, so you might have to wait your turn if it's busy – could do with another one to keep things flowing.
  • While the overall experience is top-notch, some might find the space a tad cavernous, which could feel overwhelming on quieter nights.

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.

  • 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.

Was a great pub 🍻 nice and cheap but due to a sky scrapper now going up is closed for good ! Very sad gonna miss the place.

The Bull Ring Tavern is a welcoming, traditional spot in Birmingham that's all about good vibes, friendly chats, and cracking drinks deals – ideal for a relaxed catch-up.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff and locals are incredibly friendly, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • It's got that authentic old-school pub charm, which is a rare treat in Birmingham these days.
  • They offer unbeatable drink deals and prices that won't break the bank, perfect for a casual night out.
  • Loads of live sports on the screens, so it's brilliant for catching the footy or rugby with mates.
  • 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.

First time travelling to Birmingham alone . Ended up here being lost after a rude taxi service, very friendly & managed to settle and assist me. Great pint of Guinness too! Thank you

If you want an old school style pub, this is the place to go. Locals are very friendly and I doubt there's many pubs like this left in Birmingham. Worth a visit, if only just for a quick drink.

Popped in here while my daughter was at a gig. Proper old school pub, plenty of TVs, locals, good atmosphere. Decent prices, great staff. Well worth a visit

The Journey's End is a cosy Birmingham pub with a fabulous beer garden and warm vibes, perfect for a catch-up, though watch out for the odd service hiccup that can spoil the fun.
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.
  • The beer garden is an absolute gem – proper grass, beautiful trees, and plenty of seating for a relaxing afternoon in the sun.
  • They've got a great selection of fresh, quality food including vegan and vegetarian options, all at honest, fair prices.
  • It's a real community hub, supporting local charities and offering their function area for free to groups, which is just lovely.
  • The atmosphere is spot on for catching up with mates, watching sport, or enjoying a meal – it's got that traditional pub feel with a bit of extra charm.
Areas for Improvement
  • Service can be inconsistent, with some reports of long waits for food, like over an hour, which puts a dampener on the day.
  • They sometimes prioritise delivery orders over people waiting in the pub, which feels a bit unfair when you're sat there getting peckish.
  • Food quality isn't always reliable; for instance, a Christmas lunch was disappointing with tinned veg and frozen bits, even if the turkey was alright.
  • There have been times when staff were chatting away instead of serving, leaving folks standing around feeling a tad ignored.
  • While it's generally affordable, the occasional slip-ups in service might make you think twice about popping in for a quick bite.

The Windsor is a welcoming Birmingham pub with a lively vibe, friendly service, and good value grub, though it has its quirks like any good local spot.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in – it's like chatting with old mates behind the bar.
  • It's got a brilliant atmosphere, perfect for catching live sports or just enjoying a lively vibe with a pint in hand.
  • Prices are spot on for the city centre, offering great value on food and drinks without breaking the bank.
  • Tucked away in a central spot near New Street Station, it's super convenient for a quick stop after shopping or exploring Birmingham.
  • The food hits the mark in many ways, with tasty options like burgers and pizzas that leave you satisfied and coming back for more.
Areas for Improvement
  • Food quality can be a bit hit or miss, like when the steak in a sandwich turns up warm while the veggies are stone cold – a real shame on an otherwise good meal.
  • It gets awfully busy at times, which means service might slow down and it's tough to flag someone down if you need something sorted.
  • While the atmosphere is buzzing, that same energy can make it feel a tad overwhelming if you're after a quiet catch-up with friends.

The Billesley is a welcoming Birmingham pub with friendly vibes and affordable grub, ideal for families and sports fans, though food can sometimes disappoint.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant and go the extra mile, like Tracey who made our visit so welcoming and attentive
  • Food is generally tasty and affordable, with Sunday roasts coming in as a real highlight for a hearty, budget-friendly meal
  • It's a lively spot perfect for families, with plenty of facilities like outdoor play areas and live sports screenings to keep everyone entertained
  • Great value deals, such as tucking into selected dishes for just a tenner on weekdays, make it easy on the wallet
  • Convenient location with a car park and easy access, plus it's open seven days a week for whenever the mood strikes
Areas for Improvement
  • Food quality can be hit or miss, with some reports of dry, cold dishes or burnt bits that left a bad taste – not ideal for a relaxing outing
  • Wait times for food might drag on, like one instance where it took 40 minutes and arrived underwhelming
  • The overall experience isn't flawless, as a few meals fell short on freshness and texture, which could put a dampener on things
  • While it's family-oriented, not every visit lives up to the hype, so you might want to keep expectations in check

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.

Brighton Arms

Brighton Arms

Brighton Arms is a straightforward local pub in Birmingham that's open daily, but it's still finding its feet online, so it might be worth a visit if you're in the area and up for a surprise.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • It's open every day from midday until late evening, making it a reliable spot for a casual drink after work or on the weekend.
  • Located right in the heart of Small Heath, Birmingham, which could make it a great local haunt for folks in the area looking for a neighbourhood vibe.
Areas for Improvement
  • There's absolutely no online presence to speak of—no website or claimed Google profile—which might make it tricky to find out more before popping in.
  • With no reviews available, it's a bit of an unknown quantity, so you might be taking a chance on the atmosphere, service, or selection of drinks and food.
