Colmore Bar and Grill in Birmingham

Had been meaning to go for ages, and very glad I did. It's a great, comfortable bar selling a superb collection of Thornbridge beers. It's well spaced, with cozy spaces and the more open bar area, and the staff were great. There's also a pool table downstairs that was in constant use when we were there

What a delightful pub. We came here by chance due to the Christmas market starting so ridiculously early and unable to find a place to walk in and get some food. The atmosphere is relaxed, the staff were attentive and friendly, despite being so busy, service was fast and the food was very good. We had pizzas and Greek salad and they were both perfect - the pizza thin with fresh ingredients and toppings. Very reasonably priced for the quality.

The place & atmosphere is very nice, however staff was very rude on Friday, including both managers. My friends were shocked at how they spoke to me, and we will definitely not be returning.

Busy place Absolutely gorgeous inside old building

Came here for a few afternoon beers, great selection, good service and price.

Nice place to have a quiet drink and eat a pizza or salad. Wooden atmosphere, leather sofas, good playlist! Even for an early dinner with the kids

Gorgeous architecture. Relaxed atmosphere. Food was delicious and well priced. Cheese garlic bread was so yummy! Food also came out very quick. Shame there's no table service but staff were nice.

Good choice of real ales and keg beers this place is popular and can become very noisy

Extremely friendly bar staff who were enthusiastic about the beers offering welcome advice. Lovely pub interior and well worth a visit. Highly recommended!

Rude staff Felt like a hinderence

Fabulous place and an even better selection of drinks.

Nice pint of Brock, smoothest dark ale I've had for a while. I usually drink Guinness but this was very good

Really good selection of Thornbridge beers & a few guest ales Real ale, larger (Czech Mates), craft beers (Chiron, green mountain) & ciders all available - staff are very knowledgeable about the beers and recommendations too Also the pizza here is fantastic for sharing and really good value!

Great venue with a great range of beers on cask and keg. Wine and spirits selection is also varied. Thornbridge and guest beers are available to take home. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable about the drinks range.

Busy just after office hours! Great atmosphere, staff are very knowledgeable about the beers. Thornbridge beers always available, including many 'new' beers, but a range of guests. One of the best pubs in city centre for real ale. Pizzas are tasty bar snacks, good choice, prompt service. But it's really all about the beer 🍺

Fantastic conversion by Thornbridge brewery, wood panelling, and mirrors are gorgeous. Can get busy/noisy with office workers.

Great place for a drink and lovely atmosphere

First time we have visited great beer had a lovely pizza next time in Birmingham we will be back

Good pub and a good Range of beers and spirits ..more so the beers the Decor is nice with a downstairs pool table. Was and does get warm in their probably from the cooking at top part of pub..All good though.staff friendly and a nice welcome from security standing outside.

Cracking Ale in here. One of my favourites in town.

Very smart city centre pub serving Thornbridge real ales and keg beers. All the ones we tried were in lovely condition 👍

It's a big YES from me good beer, good bar staff..great venue..what more can I say......🕺💃💋💋❤❤❤

Great range of ales. Nice decor, friendly service.

Nice pub just off Victoria Square, a little pricey but good overall

Absolutely phenomenal handmade pizza that gives the very best italian you'll find a run for its money.

Big pub broken into smaller areas. We both had really nice pizzas. I'm glad we walked past the chain pizza places! Big selection of beer and to top it off, the staff were really nice.

Quality. A Thornbridge pub in the centre of Birmingham with great cask and keg beers as well as a nice range of decent sized pizzas. Opted for the 'Brummie' pizza; curry on pizza. Have to say it really worked despite my misgivings.

This is one of the best pubs in Birmingham City centre.

I like the decor and ambience of this place and there are some recently priced beers, but also there can be some pretty expensive ones. A little quieter than some other bars sometimes which isn't a bad thing. Only thing knocking a star off this time is in the recent warm spell when I was there it was ridiculously hot in there which didn't encourage me to stay for any more than one beer

6.50 for a beer (Veltins)? I won't go there ever again! I found a cheeper pub a few hundred meters away!

Great beer selection and amazing pizzas!

Great time spent late in the evening on the rooftop bar. Great atmosphere and music and tasty drinks.

Nice place. Swift service considering it was Saturday night. Nice atmosphere.

Great place for a few beers 🍻 Nice place and friendly staff 👍

Great pizza. Great service. Good vibe. Perfect place to go for a drink after work 👌🏾

High quality beers from Thornbridge with a selection of pizzas on the food menu - it's a winning combination 😋 There's a few other food options (salads, nibbles etc) and an extensive wider drinks menu. The decor is lovely and makes the place feel very inviting. I was back in Birmingham for business so dining alone but there was a pleasant background chatter from other customers that added to the warm atmosphere.

Lots of nice yummy beers, what's not to like!

Nice place, good beer and pizza

One of the best places in Birmingham. Very strongly recommended.

Great place to meet up and enjoy first class food and drink. Thornbridge ales !

Nice place for a drink nice atmosphere

Beautiful interior, opulent . Lots of wood, I felt like I was in an old bar in New York City. I tried a Thornbridge ale and soaked up the atmosphere. Centrally located and easy to get to . Impressive bar

Great service (lady at the bar had an encyclopedic knowledge of beer, and kept us amused and informed) and the pizza is decent.

A pleasant place to lunch or meet friends after work. 'Certainly had a 'professional office' vibe when I visited, which was 'on point' given its Colmore Row location.

Comfortable city centre pub. Large choice of beers. Also had an excellent pizza.

Some places have the basics. The beer, the food, the ambience. But very few have it all; the difference is always the staff. An average pub with average beer can be lifted by the quality and care the staff take to look after their customers. But a pub such as this, is something different. Thet have set out for greatness equal to achievements such as the discovery of fire, breaking the enigma code and even landing on the moon, ( in metaphorical terms) the Colmore has assembled the greatest bar team in post industrial history. A team as good as this are the embodiment of what lifts the Colmore into the stratosphere and sitting in a great venue with fantastic beer becomes but a promotony from which to admire the devout efforts of Jasmine, Kaitlyn and the crew.

Best pub in Birmingham. Great setting and qualities beers.

Good location, unusual beer selections, many of which I've never heard of so good to try, pizzas are excellent.

Fantastic place for a pizza and a beer! Typical English late afternoon atmosphere!

The best pizzas that I have had in years. Was here five days ago and enjoyed it so much came back for lunch again. Tried a different pizza and it was just as good. Friendly and attentive staff.

Just pop in a enjoy the venue & great beer selection

Extremely nice and helpful staff, super knowledgeable about spirits, beautiful interior

Hands down the best pub in the city. Excellent choice of beers at reasonable prices. The bar staff are some of the best you’ll ever be served by in this country. Always busy at the right times and calm when you’d expect. Pizzas are bangin if you get peckish. If there’s too much choice - have a veltins in an ice cold glass and life will never be the same again…

Cracking pub with excellent beer and good food

Arguably one of the best pubs in Birmingham. My favourite 😍. Drank mind games 8.5 . Wonderful. Thornbridge brewery beers. Highly Recommended. Excellent food.

A beautiful looking place that must have quite some history, filled with wood, mirrors and chandeliers. Excellent Thornbridge beers on cask and draft. Food is limited to pizzas which doesn’t really seem in keeping with the place itself, but they’re decent enough.

The bar was recommended by a friend. It's in the old lloyds bank in Colmore Row. the interior is fabulous, retaining many original features, which is wonderful to see. The bathrooms are in keeping with the architecture and have high-level cisterns either chairs. The range of beer beers is not bad either. lol. Will most definitely visit again

Busy in evening. Decent beer and whilst expensive good glass of wine I'm told.

Nice Saturday afternoon drink in The Colmore. Good selection of ales, good atmosphere would recommend.

Slightly expensive and can be busy. Near transport.

Good pub. Thornbridge brew splendid beers. Worth a visit.

I visited this fantastic Birmingham real ale House on Wednesday 1st December 2021 This fantastic opened planed boozer served on my visit 8 great handpumped ales The barman was great and friendly as we're the locals Great old styled building, and all work to this bar has been tastfully done 10 out of 10 boys and girls involved Saturday 20th April 2024 Today we came to this busy city centre pub. There was at least 6 hand pumped beers on the pub packed with Saturday night revellers The staff were well worked and hood at their job This pub had a grand selection of real ales as my picture shows today on the pubs site

Good beer selection and friendly staff. The pizza selection is good and very tasty. Worth a visit.

Only had a drink in here but lovely staff & atmosphere, will be back!

Great place for a drink with collègues After work, Quick service. Food looks good but did not order some.

Lovely old bank building sensitively converted into a bar serving Thornbridge beers. Great place to meet up and try the full range of beers

Always a warm welcome on arrival. Best beer selection in Brum and great advice from bar staff.

Nice place for a drink. Poped in for a quick drink looked after by the excellent friendly staff. I should imagine it will be busy in the evening.

Fantastic pub with great choice of ales and brilliant staff. Whilst the food is pretty much limited to pizza, they are all cooked from scratch, plenty of different options and taste amazing. Can get busy but never wait long to get served. Pool table downstairs.

March 2024: Thornbridge Brewery: Coco Cocoa coconut chocolate porter and Round Corner Brewery: Thirsty Traveller red ale March 2022: What a fantastic choice of Thornbridge ales. I think they had every single one on tap (except the Brother Rabbit that ran out mid pull) Settled for Titanic Plum Porter and Thornbridge Numa winter ale!

Nice place. Except they’ll call last orders, happily sell you as many drinks as you like but then aggressively ask you to leave 10 minutes later. It’s a respectable venue, there’s no need for the security to act like bouncers. Completely ruins the atmosphere when you’re basically being started on when trying to down the drink they happily served you 10 mins ago.

Great pub with beautiful interior and a fantastic selection of cask and craft keg beers.

okayish price pint and okayish price food. real nice place with nice lights and books and feels like an old bank or something. jonah says nice pizza

Great local pub on the heart of Birmingham. Good service and a great range of drinks at reasonable prices. Would definitely recommend and will be revisiting.

Really like it here. No expense has been spared on the decor. Great range of beer and staff are well trained. The only civilised bar in Brum with a pool table!

A very pleasant place to visit.

Good choice of beers with decent service. We tend to meet here often as it's centrally located in Birmingham.

Just love this place, beer and Pizza top notch

Have just been for lunch. Fabulous pizza and lovely, friendly staff. Thoroughly recommend, although not needed as it was full all afternoon.

Fabulous champagne breakfast, in a great looking restaurant!

Really nice pub with good choice of beers

Friendly staff and in a busy City Centre location after work. Not tried the food though the "pizza" type menu looks good value.

Great beer, fittings and surroundings, serves pizzas too.

Always busy. The Coldmore has a good selection of draft beers . If you fancy a bar snack they have a nice selection of pizzas. Although busy, the staff are are friendly and helpful.

Great choice of largers, place to sit in a f4iendly environment

A quality place on Birminghams main central business road. A great selection of beers and the staff are very helpful

Looking for a place for a beer while at the Christmas market, I came across The Colemore. Really great and relaxed interior, the guy behind the bar was friendly and had my kids laughing with a few jokes, couldn't fault the beer. I'll definitely be back.

Great beer and pizzas. Splendid.

Could have done with extra bar staff as it's the Xmas period.

Constant stream of quality beers on rotation, super warm and friendly staff, great pizzas. Best pub in Brum.

The most friendly, inexpensive pub we have visited in a long time. The food is amazing and they are super super dog friendly too

Absolutely packed but plenty if seats. Comfy benches at back.

Wonderful place offering great beers from thronbridge and the pizzas are fantastic

One of my go to places in Brum. The Colmore has amazing staff, excellent choice of top quality drinks. Had a pizza on Friday and it was delicious. Colleagues has a malbec which was recommended and they enjoyed and alcohol free beer which they said was nice. The only minor point is I can't always read what is on the bank of taps to the rear. I'm good at chosing my own drinks but sometimes pick something I can see as not sure what's on!

A comfortable pub to enjoy a good selection of real ales from Thornbridge and a pizza. We only wanted a snack so shared a standard pizza between four of us. The waiter willingly gave us extra plates and cutlery. Situated close to the German Christmas market.

Great pub. An unexpected find with a fantastic selection of ales. Very highly recommended. I didn't eat any food or see any being served to be fair.

Stylish city centre bar with impressive wood interior and relaxed low level lighting. Friendly & professional staff. Competitive prices. Would definitely recommend.

Decent location and beers but some of the bar staff are really rude

Very knowledgeable and friendly bartenders. Great place for a nice drink. So many different beers to try

Great drinks - rude staff. Down in the pool area away from everyone and told to quiet down. Crazy considering the noise of the actual bar upstairs.
