Centenary Brasserie & Bar at The Rep in Birmingham

Mi hija y yo reservamos una comida antes de un concierto en la sala sinfónica. Llamamos para decir que nos retrasaríamos por el tráfico intenso y el personal fue muy servicial. Tuvimos una buena comida, y el servicio fue eficiente y cortés. Nuestra camarera Grace fue atenta sin exagerar.

Amazing staff and service, beautiful views, and affordable prices, highly recommend. Amazing creme brûlée would definitely have that all the time

Este es un excelente lugar ubicado en Broad Street, cerca de la zona del canal. Nos quedamos impresionados con el personal, y no tuvimos que esperar para una mesa. Nos dieron un montón de tiempo para decidir lo que nos gustaría. La comida fue servida rápidamente y estaba caliente. Las bebidas eran un precio razonable para un restaurante. Sin duda volveremos a visitar.

Enjoyed pre drinks before going to the theatre to watch a show. Nice relaxed atmosphere able to drink outside as it was a lovely summers evening.

before or after theatre is very nice eat or drink here, but you can go also every moment and sit near the windows and look outside, relaxed and funny.

That's a perfect location cafe-brasserie-bar for theatre goers but not exclusively. Lovely design, relaxed atmosphere and comfortable seating. We had hot drinks, coffee with Irish cream, and a chocolate. Quite standard. Reasonable prices.

pre show bebidas y encargados intervalo bebidas al mismo tiempo. Cuando el intervalo vino, las bebidas estaban mal, y tuve que ir al bar a través de la gran multitud de ordenar. Lo que debería haber sido una Heineken pero lo que estaba esperando un vino blanco. ¿Cómo se puede equivocar conseguirlo? Orden, pero lo que es el punto de pedido antes sólo para ser traladó porque perdió.

A good hustle and bustle place where you can watch all the theatre goers and library visitors whilst relaxing with a pre theatre drink, that is before you realise your play started 5 mins ago!!! AGhhh!! Friendly staff. Try it!

No volvería otra vez mala actitud de nuestro camarero . El menú era engañosa indicó que esta salida nos dieron una vez antes mostrar comenzó a esperamos tanto nunca tuvimos tiempo para comer nuestros postres, tuvimos que comer en el intervalo

We only stopped here by chance for coffee to get out of the rain. We did see a limited menu and the food brought out to diners looked appetising. We will certainly pop back in when next in town. Lovely, friendly and helpful staff.

It has been some time since I visited The Rep where we always had a meal before the theatre and sometimes a meal without going on to watch a play.I arrived on my own whilst there were quite a few sofa and coffee tables available I just managed to get a table for two where were could eat with a knife and fork.A couple of staff were wondering about and I remarked how difficult it was to go up to the bar and keep a table when one is on their own....no reaction leaving some personal items on the table I went to the bar, as my friend was late I was going to order a sandwich and drink,I had looked at the menu I didn't realise the food was prepacked like a supermarket, only sandwich left jerk chicken wraps the salads also came in plastic!!! My friend arrived and we decided on a bowl meal amazingly a member of staff came and took our order where was he when I was on my own.The bowl meal was small Luke warm and with very little flavour there was Tabasco sauce on the table this I spilled liberally with black pepper.I do worry how long good stays in the trays heated(badly) given that they claim to serve food all day.The staff were, friendly and the only plus point was we could take plastic glass of wine into the theatre.My advice drink don't eat I believe this place is to serve the library .

well I wasnt impressed as no one takes any responsibility when mistakes are made. the food was nice but the quantity wasn't very good for the price your paying. wine was lovely good choices but its a shame

I happened upon a flyer for the tasting menu and matching wine whilst visiting the Library in Birmingham, i checked the price (£40) and thought it must be a printing error. Booking a table was a challenge with the manager not present at 11:10am, when I spoke to the bar man he said I should come back after 11am when they started.I pointed out that it was already 10 minute past 11 and he could not offer any reasons other than i should phone later. I did phone but numerous times all I got was a recorded message saying the staff were busy. I left two answer phone messages and eventually someone called me back and a table for two was booked. This wasn't filling me with much faith in either the staff or the venue, we arrived at the starting time of 7pm but there was no warm greetings just pointed to some chairs and asked to wait. charm and warmth nil. After a few minutes the manager took us to a large table where we were joined by 7 other diners and the man giving us all the information on the wines. so few people. very soon all the negatives i have written faded away. Pink sparkling wine from Kent arrived......wow. chilled watercress soup and home made bread rolls with matching white wine. this was followed by the thinest slice of Tuna with a chilli dressing presented in such a way it was a shame to eat it, but eat it we did and god was it good. Could the chefs maintain this standard......YES was the answer, we were treated to Crayfish & Lobster with matching wine (a wonderful sancere), then came the Duck Tortellini in a consomme so clear i thought they hadn't drained the pasta correctly. yet another course with no trace left on anyones plate. Lamb Cutlets with pea fricassee and mint gel followed. Melt in the mouth and wine that made a marriage in heaven. would i have room for the 6th course? chocolate mousse hazelnuts and sticky black cherries. dare i say it.......orgasmic! and oh my god the chilled red dessert wine was amazing. all this for £40 where on earth were the rest of you? you missed a meal and wine that was sensational. so Centenary sort out the staffing niggles and your telephone system and maybe the restaurant would have been full. I'd return for sure if you put this event on......oh and the portions could never be described as mean!!!! sorry but I didn't take any photo's, the food and wine were too good to miss the moment by messing around with a camera.

After making a reservation the previous week, I found they had no record of my booking or dietary requirements. Waitress and Manager were both largely incompetent - nobody seemed to know what was going on. I visited on a Groupon voucher, and paid £12 for 2 people but think I could have spent this better in a local coffee shop, given the service, quality and quantity of food. We had ham, smoked salmon and cheese sandwiches. All were nothing special - could have made better myself. Not replenished when we asked for more either. We were given one plain and one fruit scone between two of us, although the fruit scone only had one raisin too! A couple of small cakes finished off the afternoon tea, the best were the chocolate macaroons. Nobody asked if we wanted more tea either. We left within about half an hour and wouldn't return even with a voucher.

Visited with friends last month on a Living Social deal. Good value, having sandwiches, a scone, small cakes, coffee and wine for £8 each. However, I certainly would not have been happy paying full price!! Sandwiches seemed to go stale very quickly. Cakes were non-descriptive. Coffee was ok but felt embarrassed having to ask for a second cup. Our friends had a large pot of tea between them with 2 tea bags in. Looked like water when the first cup was poured! Probably would not return even if I had a voucher.
