Figure of Eight in Birmingham

Restaurante de la cadena weterspoon. Siempre es un acierto para salir del paso y hacer una comida decente, barata y rápida. Precios razonables y rapidez en el servicio. Local grande y céntrico. La pizza muy rica, la burguer algo pequeña pero tiene pase.

Chilling place with delicious drinks and food

Just popped in for a couple of drinks before the show . Very busy but the staff was polite and helpful plus polite plus the service was quick. Tables was cleared and cleaned quickly.

Food came out nice and hot, was very quick and tasty.

Good service highly recommended

Si quieres un desayuno caliente por favor no vengas aquí. Comida muy chula y cuando vino el camarero ni siquiera se molestó en preguntar cómo estaba nuestra comida. Mesa también necesita una limpieza!

Food service was great, meals were good value for money

We have been many times, and it is always good. What's not to like about a 'Spoons' including the price.

Avoid This Place – Rude and Discriminatory Staff I visited JD Wetherspoon with a friend, expecting a good time, but the experience was ruined by the unprofessional and outright rude behavior of both the bouncer and the manager. What made it worse was the clear discrimination we faced, which is completely unacceptable. A business should treat all customers with respect, but this place failed terribly. If you’re looking for a welcoming and inclusive environment, I strongly recommend going elsewhere. No one should have to deal with this kind of treatment. Hope this will reach to right person.

Very big branch of the Wetherspoons upstairs seating and down stairs rooms all over as it was a very old building previously. Nice seating area outdoors at side and front too. Everything you can expect from the chain quick nice good value meals and drinks table service via the app no problems and staff nice and friendly great visit and would visit this one again

Bar staff were very good, food was typical spoons..filling but limp and tasteless! On the whole.. if your looking for a decent well priced drink, the spoons is the place to go! On the whole, one of the nicer places to go!

Yo estaba afuera en la mesa 149, mi comida y bebidas nunca llegaron. Esperé más de una hora y empecé a preocuparme. Hablé con el gerente y dijo que la comida entró en la basura. Dijo que yo no estaba en la mesa cuando algún empleado vino a verificar si alguien estaba allí, entonces el gerente dijo que puse mal el número de la mesa, pero se negó a ir conmigo para mostrarle el número de la mesa o para mostrarme imágenes de CCTV para mostrarle dónde me alojaba. Estoy totalmente decepcionado, vine regularmente a este pub en el pasado, pero nunca volveré en el futuro!

Friendly environment and staffs. Many thanks

Drink with food between £10-£20/pp.

Typical wetherspoon put ,food is cold once again ,avoid burgers 3 times in few weeks been in here for food ,always a disappointment,not again am I eating here ,

One of the worst meal ever had in wetherspoons. 4 of us ate, what a mistake. It's too busy, staff can't be bothered. The worst was a vegetarian chilli on a jacket, small, so child's portion. Stone cold potato with a chilli that looked like it had been there for days. A chicken burger with tough over done chicken breast and a double beefburger, dry enough to need a mouth of water with each bite. We didn't have long as we were going to the arena, so we ate what we could, told the staff and they could not be bothered, in fact the reason they have for the cold jacket potato with chilli was it's like that cos it's a child's portion, no way would any of us serve it to a child or even a dog, disgusting.

Usual spoons . This time my steak was quite chewy and overdone but not bad. Mediterranean salad that came with it was good too.

Staff were great, most of the food was great. The kids meals were brilliant. My cod and chips was a bit overdone but the rest of the adult meals were good pub grub. Prices were really good especially for a city centre pub! We will return!

Called in on a Friday tea time for a quick hot drink before going home, due to the very cold weather outside. It was extremely noisy inside, but it was probably due to people having after work drinks and getting ready to start the weekend, so you can make some allowances for that.

The bartender did not want to serve me a beer , according to his own eyes i was too drunk ? which it was not the case ; i understand that its the own judgment of the bartender which i respected it and left the place ; however his colleague agreed that i did not look drunk but in his own words " a little bit tipsy" which is far from looking, acting and being drunk ? i felt frustrated by this decision which i couldn't contest in any way but had to swallow it being misjudged. Is there any other reason ?

Good good, nice atmosphere. Only concern was the mens bathroom. Raised concerns about cleanliness and lack of toilet paper to staff who were happy to solve. The staff who went and checked informed me that there was toilet paper (I went back in to discover it was so low, you had to stick your hand in the dispenser to get it) and that there was no cleanliness issue with the stalls/ it was dealt with. Unfortunately, the toilets were not cleaned so the issue was not dealt with, and to be honest, when the toilet paper is that low, it would not have hurt to ensure each stall had at least one full roll in. It would also have not hurt to fully clean each toilet bowl and seat to remove the marks on them. Sadly that's what let this place down. That some staff could not understand the cleanliness issue of a bathroom, and take action on it.

Cucharas ocupadas en la calle ancha. El personal es lo suficientemente amable y los alimentos son su promedio cucharas, así que no espere gourmet. Los aseos están en la planta baja y tiene una cervecería, así que ambos un bono.

La comida era agradable y delicioso, personal amable, gran lugar para una pinta descarada n una comida con papas fritas antes de ir a las discotecas, recomendaría

Cheap beer good atmosphere. You wouldn't believe it. Witherspoons and the toilts are on the ground flooor not th e top floor

Arrived with friends on a night out and my fiancé tripped on the edge of the bar as it was crowded. The bald guy behind the bar, manager I’m assuming? Point blank refused to serve him claiming he was drunk, which was 100% not the case, we had only just arrived and he hadn’t even had a drink. Even though we had witnesses he was refused service, and we were told the rest of our party can be served as long as he leaves the premises. Have enjoyed this Spoons in the past but after that incident will not be coming back. Very rude!!

Nice food ,fish & chips with mushy peas, the only problem was curry sauce wasn't hot enough could have done with a few seconds in the microwave,other than that , it was a nice experience. Very quiet Sunday early afternoon

Best weatherspoons in Bitmingham. Best weatherspoons I have been anywhere in England. Different atmosphere and other spoons.

Lovely pub and good prices and quality

Awful experience, expensive drinks. Not worth visiting if you're looking for a nice night out

It's been a pub I've visited for many, many years. I was there for some food on 15th December. Staff were friendly and hard working. Unfortunately though every touch point was sticky. Bar, doors, tables, etc. I put me off wanting to eat there again.

Near our hotel so v handy to pop in pre and post meal! Usually found table for the 4 of us. Excellent value drinks.

We were lucky enough to find a table as it was very busy. Both had the large breakfast. It was really lovely but I was unable to eat all mine. Husband finished it off lol. The staff were friendly and were constantly clearing and cleaning tables as soon as the people left so looked clean and tidy too. Would recommend.

Large Wetherspoons, located on Birmingham’s Broad Street. Downstairs toilets, which is unusual for a Spoons!

Pedido la aplicación de comidas tenía un problema lo suficientemente afortunado el pedido pasó que afirmaron que no había ginebra Hendricks pero la aplicación lo dijo como dijeron que me reembolsaran la bebida, pero luego unos minutos más tarde mágicamente tenían la ginebra Hendricks, así que eso es muy mal servicio y tienen que ir specsavers si no pueden ver una botella de ginebra Hendricks

Ordered large breakfast eggs was hard then toast on my breakfast all ready had butter on it so you know it was of someone else plate what if I had allergic to the butter thay need to get better cooks that can cook instead of throwing any thing out

Un servicio agradable... vino a desayunar. Hay una muy buena selección, y los desayunos tradicionales y vegetarianos regulares eran buenos y llenos. También tuvimos ensalada de frutas y yogur griego, que era muy agradable y refrescante junto con zumo de naranja y café sin fondo. Por alrededor de £ 26 todo eso en un pub cerca del centro de Birmingham era bastante buena relación calidad-precio y nos preparó para el día! Estaría feliz de volver...

We visited on Friday 2 weeks before Xmas. The place was packed but the staff was doing everything they could to deliver food and drinks promptly. Very impressed with mixed grill.

The Figure of Eight in Birmingham has consistently been a venue I’ve enjoyed visiting. Its classy and sophisticated atmosphere sets it apart. It was always highly regarded for its well maintained interiors and, with its central location and overall quality, this lication is a top choice for dining and social gatherings in Birmingham.

A group of us had some drinks in the evening, it was busy, and then we had Breakfast the next morning. The small Breakfast was ideal for me, the full Breakfast looked like too much for me. Overall it was good value.

-10000 I think I am still in shock disbelief and keep reliving it from last night being chucked out lol By simply asking for where our drinks were after 50 mins We traveled from 2 hours to a concert with my children 19 met friends taxi driver due to parking I sat on table on my own not to embarrass them as the mum lol My daughter ordered from their table through app my son bringing my food to my table the food took a long time 5pm we ordered we had no drinks at all feeling mow Ill. asked a young lady waitress politely She said I will go and find out I thanked her nothing happened I then asked a tall man in a blue shirt He was quite abrupt nothing again.

Not recommend at all I refused to give me his name I have a picture of him fot ref

Broma absoluta de un gerente con un complejo de napoleón! ¡Actuando demasiado agresivo afirmando que estábamos bloqueando una ruta de salida de incendios en un pub! A una joven no le gustó cuando le dijeron que su comportamiento era repugnante.

Had the pleasure of visiting figure of eight for a pre concert meal on the 27th November ,the pub is warm ,clean and the staff are exceptional at customer service ,you are made to feel welcome ,very attentive to making sure your food is ok ,cleaning the tables and most important conversing with the customers . The food was nicely cooked , presented and good value. Special hands up to Jay ,Callum ,the young lady who was collecting glasses and also a lovely ,charming young lady who I did not get her name but she delivered the food to the table.

Always love a Wetherspoons, great value food & drink !

Good pub in the center: interesting that ordering food the beer is very well priced. Advisable

Went for after show drink. Nice atmosphere

Great atmosphere, lively when we visited..

Decent boozer and decent prices. 👌

£12 for 4 bits of scampi and chips is a total rip off. Queried and that’s the price. Plenty of better quality restaurants in Birmingham, equally priced

Fine spoons good food excellent service and good atmosphere inside and outside in garden

I've been here before and wrote a positive review... I'm pleased to say that The Figure of Eight is as good, if not better, than it wad before (a couple of years ago). Sure, it's only a Wetherspoon's but Jada served with great care, consideration and politeness. Gav also was supportive of customers, always busying around and even asked us, as he passed, if the food was okay. As I say, it's only a Wetherspoon's but we received a genuinely connected service sometimes lacking in more regarded venues. As I said to the manager before leaving, he and his team have represented their brand and city very well. Thanks to all.

Eşimle yol üstünde görüp girdik. Kahvaltı yaptık. Kahvaltısı fena değildi yumurtayı fazla pişirmişler. Ama fiyatları gerçekten uygun. Eşim tost ekmeği ve reçel söyledi ben english breakfast söyledim. İçecek sınırsız. Bardağınızla gidip alıyorsunuz. Toplam 8-10 pound civarı bir şey ödedik sanırım. Gerçekten çok uygun o yüzden 4 puan veriyorum.

He estado aquí antes y escribí una crítica positiva... Me complace decir que La Figura de los Ocho es tan buena, si no mejor, de lo que era antes (hace un par de años). Claro, es solo una Wetherspoon's pero Jada sirvió con mucho cuidado, consideración y cortesía. Gav también era servicial con los clientes, siempre ocupado alrededor e incluso nos preguntó, al pasar, si la comida estaba bien. Como digo, es solo un Wetherspoon's, pero recibimos un servicio genuinamente conectado, a veces falta en lugares más considerados. Como le dije al gerente antes de partir, él y su equipo han representado muy bien su marca y ciudad. Gracias a todos.

Love the location,you can get straight off the metro,and there it is

I popped in for a glass of water and ended up buying a meal and a couple of drinks, mainly because Will made me laugh. Also very good service from the young woman with her hair tied up, recommending me a milk fried chicken burger - it was good but gone in 5 minutes as I was hungry.

Another wetherspoons, right next to my hotel so that was ideal. Lots of history surrounding this one as well. Loved it

Stood at the end of the bar as a couple for a good couple of hours then rudely told to move by the bar staff to make room for glasses. We’ve been to lots of spoons bars but this is the worst. Rude staff and terrible atmosphere.

First pint was really cloudy. Switched beers and everything was ok. Good service and a nice relaxing atmosphere

We were in Birmingham for a few days and frequented the Pub most days at lunchtime and evening for a meal and a pint ... Nothing to complain about the food, drinks or service as you know what to expect from a "Spoons" ... But after 10:30 pm it gets busy and noisy ! ... Checks are made by staff on those felt to be under 21 years of age, excellent ... The pub has a large beer garden with some cover ... Unfortunately this facility did not stop many customers Vaping quite openly inside ! ... Not what you would expect ! ... Had to leave as I am Asthmatic and it made me feel vulnerable.

This is like any other spoons the food was good service not bad at all the coffee was cold and the station breakdown on us but the staff fixed it and all was good again.

Called in for drinks. Friendly staff. Reasonably priced.

A perfect place to eat, as there is a wide variety of food and drinks. Everything is ordered through an app, therefore, you have time to think about what you want for dinner. Despite being almost full, we had a pleasant time.

I’ve been to this Wetherspoons a few times and had an absolutely great night. Unfortunately that was all undone in the space of 30 seconds. I was with a few of my friends waiting for our drinks when we were informed that our ordered drink was unavailable. My friend re-ordered a drink that was available. I turned to the service man to order the same but he was already walking off. Assuming he thought that me and my friend would get the same and so ordered the drinks as such. The next thing that happened is the same service man was telling us to leave because apparently I had waved my middle finger at him when he walked off. This was completely incorrect as I would never do this to a person doing their job fixing an inconvenience that was not their fault. He gave us no chance to explain ourselves despite the rest of our group protesting my innocence. We were removed from the building, with everyone more confused than angry about why we were actually being removed. I’m disappointed I didn’t get the service man’s name as I would love to credit this act of insanity to a person. Luckily the security man on the door was a man of greater awareness and directed our group to an alternative establishment. Thoroughly disappointed and we will not be returning and will warn everyone else who said they are going to this pub. I’m sure one man is not representative of the collective but never the less, he has soured our opinions of the establishment in question. Shame. I had previously enjoyed some great memories here.

A good place for a meal out on your own or with friends

Sticky dirty tables, grubby menus, food on the floor around the tables. We walked out.

Great breakfast, welcoming staff, quick service.

I ordered a vodka and coke with ice, sorry no ice 1 minute later 2 people were served with 2 large jugs of cocktails, full of ICE, I asked again for ice in my drink guess what NO ICE.

As a functioning alcoholic this weatherspoon served my needs well. Great spot to watch all the riff raff walk by while drowning my sorrows

This is a good Wetherspoons, but it is a Wetherspoons. I need say no more

Great service especially as evening got busier only snag was the state of the Gents toilets water on the floor a bad smell not good if you're serving food as well .

Exactly what you have come to expect from the Wetherspoon brand, no matter what city or town you're in, we visited this location when in Birmingham for a gig and it was the perfect spot for a drink and a bite to eat at a time that suited. The service was great, really friendly staff and a short wait for our food to arrive and usual decent prices. Would recommend and definitely visit again if in the area

As always in a 'spoons' food options great. Excellent value, good service.

The manager was very rude and aggressive towards my friend who was trying to order a drink at her turn in line. He seemed pissed off and others mentioned a constant scowl look on his face. In another incident, I was pushed by someone behind me and according to the manager I bumped into a bartender and a drink was spilled. I had no idea this had happened as I wasn’t facing the bar but instead a group of friends at a table in the corner. The manager came over, berated me, kicked me out and when I asked why he explained the bumping situation mentioned earlier. Then he proceeded to accuse me of ill intent because I didn’t apologize when it happened. As soon as I was told, I told him I didn’t know and I was sorry for my part in it. I explained that I should have been paying attention to where I was going and will pay for the drink. But he kept yelling at me to get out and when I asked what I can do to fix it and make things right, I was berated further. After talking to security, I gathered that the manager was fed up because the place was getting too crowded and he took the bad mood out on me. As I was leaving other customers who witnessed the situation explained that it was just a wrong place, wrong time thing and to not take it to heart.

Lovely pub. A cut above most Wetherspoons, as it's a little detached from the City Centre. Food always reasonably priced, as is the wine.

Llegué a una conferencia y me dirigieron aquí por seguridad ya que no podía encontrar ningún otro lugar abierto. Bonito local grande y se sentía un poco como el día después del centro. Todo tipo de personas estaban comiendo, el pub estaba limpio y ordenado. El personal era muy servicial, atento y muy feliz, lo cual es genial para un domingo por la mañana. El ambiente es perfecto. Gran desayuno cocinado con recargas de té ilimitado.

We had steak and chips. I would have liked some vegetables with it. Atmosphere is always friendly both customers and staff.

Just a quick tea on a cold day.

One of the best bar, better than solomon cutler which is only a few meters ahead.

Para un Wetherspoons es todo lo que esperas Un lugar muy concurrido con poco personal, un montón de opciones de comida en el menú y la relación calidad-precio de la comida. Las mesas podrían haber estado más limpias, el piso estaba un poco sucio, pero creo que el lugar está tan ocupado que el personal hace lo mejor que puede

Wetherspoons fair served by a really friendly bunch of staff. As always at a great price especially compared to the near by pubs.

Came in for a quick drink and Joe was great! He was very easy to talk to and was super welcoming! Thank you Joe! 💪🏻

Typical wetherspoons pub. Very reasonably priced drinks.

Friendly staff, good selection of beer

I hadn't been in for ages, as the last few times a few years ago, they never seemed to have any 'nelson mandela' (Stella), but it was great when I went in recently. Only pulled in on the off chance after going to the Solomon Cutler, and I was more impressed by the Figure of Eight this time around. Keep up the great work 🍻

Dirty table, nobody bothered to come round to wipe our table after requesting this at the bar. Food was not enjoyable, not even average. On the plus side, it looks quite a nice place and could be just that with a bit more effort and better food. And Strongbow is back which was good. But I' ll gladly pay more somewhere else going forward.

Servers are amazing, especially jacob who was on the floor that night with incredable service <3

Service was quick, food ordered was OK at first ordered the small plates to share, but later on that evening both myself and partner got really bad sickness, this was the only food we shared, there was homeless people walking round asking for money, one homeless man because I didn't have changed, took a piece of chicken from our plates instead, 100% the worse wetherspoons we have visited and would not return

Comfortable Spoons with a tram stop right outside.

Great Spoons. Nice renovated garden

Just had a brilliant streak at figure of eight great customer service reasonably priced real old worldly feel about the place best meal on broad Street

Lovely big JDW. Decent price. Decent pint

Place feels like it needs a good clean, dirty glasses, woodwork etc.

Typical Weatherspoons, very busy because of the cheap drinks, but this was probably the worst burger I've ever had. I couldn't even finish it. Staff were lovely.

A classic love the figure of eight staff are fabulous

Great helpful staff great breakfast

Spending a few days in Birmingham

Wetherspoons are basically all the same. This one is right in the middle of Broad St, close to other pubs and clubs. It's large, with a huge beer garden, an ideal spot to start off.

Routine trip to this wetherspoons before a visit to Utilita Arena for Justin Timberlake. 2 x burgers ordered with a complimentary pint. Arrived in quick time, no frills hot and good value for money.

Excellent in all respects. Prompt service. Very friendly waitress. Plenty of condiments. Coffee refills are excellent value for money. Charging points at some tables. Relaxed. Prices have increased considerably in the last 2 years but still competitive for Birmingham city.

Great service and friendly atmosphere

Been here a few times in the past and I like the venue and the majority of the staff seem friendly enough however they really shouldn't have the sign for another nights offers propped up against the bar, it might be titled with that particular days offer but if it's not that day why is it up? It's misleading especially when it's advertised with big pictures of the drinks people would usually buy at a reduced price, if you're gonna advertise offers especially right by the point of service it should be offers for that day and if there are none then don't put up signs by the bar as if there is
