1000 Trades in Birmingham

Great beer with friendly service. The food rotates and there are often events (comedy, music, etc). It has a nice interior and there is also a small amount of seating outside on the road.

Absolutely amazing. Had a fantastic meal before the Improv show started. Great music and great selection of beers too. You get the quality you pay for so it was a wonderful night out.

Small and friendly, quite expensive for 2 drinks?

Love 1000 trades beers are excellent and their luck sarnies are absolutely amazing

Highly expensive roast but loved the chicken, beef. Best Yorkshire pudding. But a pain to the pocket.

Wonderful music, service and very very Natural wine PRIMITIVIO.

Great drinks offer, excellent food pops ups and Sunday lunches. Had some great late nights in there especially when they have DJs. Staff are all brilliant. Love the Political Therapy nights too. One of my favourite locals. A jewel of the Jewellery Quarter

Shocking today Iv been a fan of 1000 trades Sunday roast but this time I was greeted with “last time you dint pay” when I proved that I paid the time before via a bank statement no apology nothing shocking behaviour outed me for not paying in front of the whole party I was with not happy with the embarrassment.

We booked for a table of 6 with most of us never being before and with the reputation that the food was amazing but the quality of the food is irrelevant when the service and staff are rude from the moment you enter the building. We turned up to find our table of 6 had been given away so we were given a table for 4 with no consideration that our party was larger than that. The male working at the time immediately shouted out in front of everybody that a member of my party didn't pay during his last visit only to be proved wrong moments later when he was presented with a bank statement showing otherwise. After which he still made no apology or made any attempt to turn things right with us. In fact he stopped serving us altogether leaving it to the other member of staff. Took 20 minutes just to be asked if we wanted a drink, the food then took over an hour to arrive and the whole time not once did we get any update from the staff or an apology for the time it was taking. The food once it came was enjoyable but at that point we were all so hungry we'd have been happy with a packet of crisps. Avoid avoid avoid, don't waste your Sunday

Friendly staff a nd great atmosphere

Hey guys, sad to say my wife and I were really disappointed with our visit on Saturday. We cane to try the “Summer of Soul” food pop up and this was one of the poorest dining experiences we have had in a long time. The food was bland - chicken, cod goujons no seasoning at all let alone tasting like soul food. The steak on my sub was burnt, actually tasted like it was cooked on a dirty grill and the greens/coleslaw tasted wet and like they had been sat in the fridge for a few days. The server asked how everything was and when we said “terrible”, said they’d take our feedback to the kitchen but that was it. No appearance from the partners in the kitchen, no apology, no offer to refund anything from the bill, just laughter from the pass. Pretty disgusted with that team. The people behind Tierra Tacos, Trentina and Tiger Bites Pig should hang their heads in this one.

Card only. Any business that doesn’t take cash is not a business that deserves mine.

To imbibe is an art Glass done right buoys the heart Choices on offer near and wide apart To sorrow tis a pioneering dart So step in and sip up Feel renewed when time to depart

Yard bird takeover fails, food shuts early. Travelled over as per the flyer but abruptly told after purchasing a round that food was finished even though menu stating 9.30 was still out. Really really poor

Visited with friends on a weekend away. None of us knew the area but noticed earlier in the day that they had a dj in the evening. DJ (the owner) mixed good (not cheesy) 80's, which was great. The natural wine (seved by the glass or carafe) was lush(no hangover), staff were lovely. Fun, chilled, welcoming bar. Would recommend.

Wonderful staff great beer,wine and food.

Nice food from pop up kitchen Pietanic. Enjoyable comedy evening with Box of frogs.

Hands down one of the best Sunday roasts in Birmingham! Such a little hidden gem in the Jewellery Quarter and is definitely worth a visit. The food was delicious and worth the money. The staff were also friendly and hospitable.

Food was really good, I've been a couple of times now and the menu rotates so it's worth checking who is there before you go. Really good selection of beer and wine, improv is there and it's a lovely atmosphere

An absolutely fantastic cosy pub, with a great selection of beers. The food is outstanding. Haven't had a Sunday lunch this good in a long time. Highly recommend

STEAMHouse: Renegade Economists & Maker Monday Assemble

Came for Sunday lunch....unbelievable! Service was great, food came quickly and was amazing! Great choice of beers and a beautiful Bloody Mary! Highly recommend

Beautiful food but terrible service. The lady looking after our table was extremely icy and seemed like she was highly inconvenienced by even being there. Food was top tier but despite a £350 table bill, the atmosphere was unfortunately spoilt by her cooler than cold attitude.

Very cool atmosphere with a nice vibe. The bar has a good variety of craft beers and largers, with some tasty house wines. Small menu choice, but they make up for it in quality of the food being beautifully cooked with decent sized portions and selection of deserts. A strong 8/10.

Nice place with good beer. I was there for the jazz which was so good.

First time visiting this place when visiting family in Birmingham. I found out they are dog friendly too!! My boys were made to feel very welcome Great beer & food available Looks like they have some good events on too.

Fab! Saw it on instagram and very glad we popped in for an amazing posh chicken n bbq sandwich and some wine. Will return! Thank you for the wine suggestion too.

Great vibes in this place. Bar staff and chefs gave a passion for the food and drinks. Had the Korean Fried Chicken which was delicious with a fresh salad that included beansprouts. Ordered a raspberry flavoured drink that's was equally refreshing. Great place

Besides the miserable staff, no bottles of wine, and food being overpriced, probably the best Sunday roast Iv had in Birmingham

Great food..great 🍺.. What more can I say Enjoy

A smashing, warm, old fashioned pub with a lovely little eating area in the rear. I haven't tried the grub yet but if the food is as good as the Guinness, it would be darn good. A lovely room upstairs where they hold a wonderful life drawing class every Monday with the smashing teacher, Annie. I love it. Soph x

Beautiful room with an open fire making it smell great. Always a fantastic selection of beers. Fabulous Sunday Roast, beautiful pork belly and beef. 5 very happy diners

1st visit , great food, nice venue, staff very attentive , little pricey for lunch , but to be honest the food was very v v good

Stellar roast, one of the best I've ever had

Since the demise of the Lord Clifden, Jewellery Quarter is not as good as it use to be,,, so for anyone visiting the area with a taste for craft beer or real ale,, I highly advise to visit the 1000 trades, great selection of beers always changing which offers a wide variety of choice. On another note,, , for those who like soul, jazz, house, or dance music, there's many events worth attending where you can enjoy a nigh out

Had a private party for office Christmas party and it was excellent. Service beforehand from Sam was brilliant, catered for everything we asked for! Staff on the day were brilliant, attentive and quick on the bar. Food was lovely and everything was great value for money. Would 100% recommend for private functions and will definitely use again.

Went here for my 30th Birthday for some food and had booked in advance earlier that day. When we arrived, I was told that certain items on the menu had run out, this was most of what my friends and I wanted but we agreed we’d choose other items. We’d been sat there for 25/30 minutes and no one had come to the table to take our order so I went to the bar and asked and was told we needed to order at the bar, I was then told that other items and all meat items had run out, which was what everyone had wanted so we were left with basically no options on the menu. Ended up leaving and going elsewhere, absolutely waste of my time and Birthday and not the experience I wanted considering friends had driven 7 hours to be there. I live 3 mins from here and won’t be going back again. Why not just say we’re running low on stock when I called earlier that day?

So tasty and everything they can do to elevate this roast to the next level they’ve done so including the nicest cauliflower cheese we’ve ever tasted…absolutely epic! 😋

Really good beer. We went upstairs as it was very busy, however once up there it lacked atmosphere.

Expensive but super conditioned ales

Great bar with a great selection of drinks. Mulled Perry to get you into the Christmas spirit!

Had our team night out here and it was fantastic, staff went above and beyond to help us out and were awesome, the food was delicious and the beer selection was wide. Would reccomend!

This place is ABSOLUTELY FREEZING! Went yesterday on a really cold day and there was no heating! Worst place I’ve been to in a long time, I know there’s a cost of living crisis but this is totally unacceptable for customers! I was so uncomfortable, this is the worst pub I’ve been to comfort wise I did not enjoy my time here and don’t recommend it in winter especially to those who have any medical conditions that the cold may exacerbate. What’s worse is that I went upstairs to see the play and it was even colder! People were sitting in their coats, I had to put my gloves back on and my legs were shaking from the cold. The play itself was great but I did feel even worse for the poor actors who had far less clothes on than me. Again this was totally abysmal and unacceptable. Food service was SO SLOW I waited 30 plus minutes for burger and chips and wish I’d gone somewhere else before the play. Food wasn’t even piping hot after such a long wait. I was so cold that I got a cappuccino (tiny portion) and then wasn’t even provided with sugar that I had to ask for. Customer service is so poor especially for the prices. Tables are way too close to each other too so people and even their own waiters struggle to get past. Interior decor is cheap and devoid of character. Getting staff attention to ask about an order is virtually impossible. I won’t be returning!

One of my favourite bars in Birmingham and one of the very, very best in the Jewellery Quarter. Always a warm welcome, great beer and a place to escape. The food is lovely and different and they have good music and entertainment too. A great place on a sunny day too - outside tables and a cool interior.

The finest fish & chips in the discoverd world. Somehow they have found a way to make the fish levitate within the batter. Truly fantastic.

Good theatre space. Saw some excellent improv

One of the best pubs in Brum. Great atmosphere, beer and food.

Didn’t book but walked in for a last minute Sunday roast. Really fast service and the food was amazing . Cosy atmosphere. Definitely would recommend . Can’t wait to go back :)

I went for a comedy show 🤣 I never had food on this occasion

Nice contemporary bar/restaurant.

Absolutely stunning venue! We went for a leaving do and we couldn't have done it in a better venue. Food is great! The wine is to die for and the beer is amazing too. Thank you to the staff for everything.

my friends were racially profiled here. when presenting her ID, the staff assumed she was showing our other friend’s ID and offered no apologies when proved to be wrong.

Always going to see improv shows there! We love it!

I showed my ID to the bar staff. Was told my ID was that of my other friend (another black person, the only other black person in the bar) would avoid if you’re a person of colour.

I would avoid this pub if you are a person of colour. I was racially profiled here, told I was pretending to be my friend (the only other black person in the pub) and told to prove my ID. Will never come back.

We were really excited to visit 1000 trades as we’ve read plenty of good reviews. On arrival there was no one to receive us and take us to a table. There was only one staff member behind the bar who advised we could just find a seat and order at the bar. We placed our order and found a table. The table was a little dirty and sticky, no salt and pepper on table. Our order arrived relatively quick, however no one came to check how the food was and we had to try and flag someone down as one of our orders was incorrect. The menu is also misleading, it says all large dishes are served with couscous on the side but that was not received. The staff member told us it only came with the rice or chips that are on the plate (so why does the menu say all plates come with couscous?! We were expecting this as an extra). The Zatar chicken was very tasty and crispy, and the chips were also good. The lamb koftas were very tasteless. The salad did not have any dressing. And the amount of bread provided with the dips too small for 3 dips and 2 people. Overall this experience left us disappointed and unlikely to return as the prices here are not cheap and the staff did not seem to care about customers.

Been here a number of times. Really good beer choices for the lads. The girls and I have enjoyed some really nice wines by the glass, carafe and bottle. We've yet to eat in but the menus from the various pop ups look great...

Ridiculously expensive £17 for large wine and a pint of beer. Won't be returning in a hurry.

Dog friendly seating outside. Great staff and good drinks.

Came here for their Sunday roast. The food was AMAZING. Just disappointed about their service. We didn't come at a busy time, but it was almost impossible to get a server's attention, and the food took more than a half hour to arrive. Can't fault them with their food however 👌 atmosphere was also very cosy.

Nice venue, great acts, friendly atmosphere. Two great shows and will be back tomorrow for more. Back again at the 1000 Trades still great shows and venue will be back for several shows during the comedy festival.

Great pub, lots of beer options!

Such a nice chill vibe and absolutely brilliant service from staff member, Jazz who just added to the good vibe of mine and my partners night.

Hands down the best roast I’ve ever had. 10/10 recommend

Firstly the bbq chicken quesadillas on the lunch menu?? AMAZING. I enjoy coming here during my lunch breaks as the service is impeccable..let me not even talk about the Mimosas; I’m pretty sure I’m practically known as the young lady who comes for her mimosas nearly every Friday. I love the aesthetic it gives off an urban old school/soul and indie vibe..alas check this place out for yourself and you’ll learn to understand me frequently visiting

One of our favourite places to go in Birmingham and it's a jewel in jewellery quarter. Fantastic beers and fantastic food the staff are chilled and friendly. Love it get yourself there now. 😃🤤🍻

Didn't eat, but the beer and staff were excellent. A great pub.

Great little place to go, really friendly and welcoming with a fantastic range of beers on tap and in bottles/cans. Food was delicious (had the BBQ chicken quesidillas) and when I asked whether they could cater for my daughter's dairy allergy they whipped up a dairy free version of the pulled pork quesidilla no questions asked which was also super tasty. 10% discount if you go to the Pen Museum first, which is a cool quirky little museum. So even though it was one of the rainier days could have come to Brum it turned out to be one of those silver lining in every cloud type of days. Would definitely recommend and CAMRA club people in there seemed to be having a great time too!

I love this place. Never a bad night here.

Best venue in JQ. Lovely place with a local but buzzing vibe. Always friendly helpful staff with excellent selection.

A great bar good beer selection staff friendly and helpful well worth the visit. Food looked really good

It's a lovely little cosy bar that serves food. It's not a big selection, but the food is nice. They also have live bands playing on different days.

Great atmos, jazz upstairs, relaxed.

Great bar, good choice of beers, loved the music. Really good and friendly service.

Really lovely bay with a friendly staff and a great choice of beers.

Brill as expected. Great bar with lots going for it

We called in for a drink this week and enjoyed a couple of pints. Friendly service, nice inside and a kitchen with rotating chefs and menus. They do hold music nights judging by the posters. Seating outside as well as in. I've only docked a star because the website menu doesn't include enough detail on their Sunday lunch options (my OH doesn't eat red meat). I did email to ask but waiting on a response. Will return and recommend you visit.

Been previously as I'm a celiac and they had a good selection of gluten free beers. Went recently, had a beer that the manager said was gluten free. Afterwards found out it wasn't. Demonstrates a severe lack of care and diligence regarding allergies; a manager of a bar/retaurant should know better. Would warn anyone with allergies who is eating or drinking there to double/triple check when ordering anything.

Great ales expensive but good food..

A great selection of beers and a very knowledgeable barmaid. I love the idea of different pop up foods in their kitchen. It was burgers when we were there. Superb.

Always a great selection of beers and a great vibe.

Such a great pub with interesting and creative food and drink and a genuine desire to be a part of the community in the Jewellery Quarter.

1000 trades is one of those places you can always find something new. Rotating food options in the kitchen, random theme nights and DJs, or just a quick pint after work. This is on the route form work to the station when I decide to go on a crawl around the jewellery quarter. Its a great place. Highly recommended

Smelt of fire and staff not the friendliest. Beer was decent.

Lovely open fire and lovely vibe thanks to nice customers and friendly staff. The tea was nice and the improv comedy night upstairs was free and good fun.

Cracking bar! Great staff, drinks (obviously) and atmosphere and the food looked excellent. Just return for a meal sometime soon.

The best Sunday roast to date I have had in Birmingham after covid19 a lot places who were good pre locked are not that nice nice. I was really impressed with the staff the choice of craft drinks on offer and the quality of food served. I would 100% recommend this place for a Sunday roast. We had 1 roast beef and 1 roast chicken along with pigs in blankets and chocolate brownie for dessert. Looking forward to going here again very soon.

Cosy and warm. Delicious food. Good wine. Lovely staff.

Great beer, excellent selection of wines, super friendly staff, fun convivial atmosphere, groovy art = excellent place to be. 1000 Trades has typically inspired shifting chefs, and on the night was Japanese food, including the best agodashi tofu I've ever had.

Sunday roast hereford beef was brilliantly cooked and really good! Great yorkshire and gravy too. Leeks too sweet for me. Brownie was also great! Slightly small on portion size and pretty pricey. Good service.

Went there for lunch with the family, but as soon as they saw the stroller we felt unwelcome. Never learnt if they have high chairs, as they ignored us for some time. No second chance.

What a fabulous evening out For my husband's birthday. Topped off with Daniel Lee cooking for us. We really enjoyed our time at 1000 Trades. Very friendly staff Thanks everyone 😊😊

Cozy bar serving fantastic ale.

Nice place, good staff , selection of drinks...on the trendy side of things.

Up there with the best. I come here whenever I'm doing a crawl of Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter. Great beer, food looks good too.

A cosy dog-friendly bar with great service and a welcoming atmosphere.

Lovely pub, great music, real ales, natural wines and knowledgeable, friendly staff. We went on a Tuesday night, still pleasantly busy. Canoodle cooking at the moment, excellent food and service. Particularly enjoyed the salt and pepper squid. A "small plate" but generous portions. Curry puffs, beef rendang and banh xeo also good. Will definitely return before this current guest chef finishes his stint in the kitchen.

Cosy little pub - very warm and welcoming. The food was delicious esp the starters. The menu changes every quarter i believe and this time it was pan-asia. Definitely recommend!

Cool boozer with a good selection of beers

Love this pub. Service and staff are excellent and obviously the beer is top class.
