I went to a tasting session as a birthday present and wow I was not disappointed. Even if you don’t like Whisky you will become a convert. Ren, our tasting guide was amazing and so knowledgeable explaining loads about the processes, history and differences between whisky. In fact all the stuff were really friendly and we ended up having a couple of more drinks in the bar after, the Blood Orange Old Fashion has now become my favourite! All in all it was fantastic value for money and I would definitely go again to try one of the other tasting experiences they offer, probably as a joint anniversary present with my wife who loves whisky. Go go go, but remember to pace your self, I won’t have a predrink next time as after that and 6 good measures and two drinks in the bar after I was a little wobbly walking back to the train station 😂

Excellent experience every time Had zero interest or knowledge in whisky to begin (just wanted to impress my girlfriend’s dad.) But awesome customer service from Aaron and the rest of the team kept me coming back for more, couldn’t recommend more for a date or for a group of friends. Still haven’t been to a whiskey tasting but definitely will soon.

If you like Whisky you will probably already know about this place. Book if you are planning to visit on a Friday or Saturday evening. This place is relaxed and staff had time to engage and talk about the different whisky's on offer. We had cheese platters and 4 flights of Whisky (3 each). Food was just right and the evening didn't feel rushed. Big thank you to the staff for making our visit a success

What a fabulous little gem in the jewellery quarter. Went with my husband for a whiskey tasting experience, as a spectator as I don’t like whiskey. Had a few sips of his during the tasting & I'm converted! Clearly I only like expensive quality whiskeys! Bar man made me a white whiskey daiquiri which was lovely. He was very knowledgeable & friendly. Atmosphere was buzzing but not just noise. Everybody enjoying conversation & a tipple. We got chatting to others there easily. A very welcoming place. Thoroughly recommend a visit.

Only my third visit, and I cannot recommend this place enough! The team are simply awesome! I could not have been made more welcome. A great place to learn about whisky and what you like. The team are just so knowledgeable, happy to recommend based on your preferences, and so far, have hit the nail on the head for me with every recommendation! Aran ( I hope I spelt that right) is an amazing host, but the whole team are simply fantastic! Renata is just soo knowledgeable about all things whisky, you simply must go to a tasting that she presents. Patrons are fantastic too, really go out their way to try and include you in the whole whisky scene. Just found out they do whisky and cheese pairings too 😱😱

We went for the Whisky tasting session which was hosted by Mark. Excellent knowledge and an excellent guide through the intro to Whisky. Had a great time. After we went to bar for a few more drinks and one of the staff, who I think was called Amy (apologies if I got this wrong), started talking with us. Even though she had only started 5 months ago she had a depth of knowledge on Whisky and guided us gently to few other tastes. Highly recommend this place for the excellent service and great ambiance. Definitely going to book another tasting in the near future.

AVOID This is the type of place that dissuades ordinary people from trying independent businesses. Rude bartender and patrons, incredibly inhospitable venue. Went in being new to whiskey and left incredibly disenchanted. EDIT: I want to explain that despite the same bartender’s claim that we “went to a whiskey bar looking for wine”, our treatment was entirely separate from our misconception, and instead associated with our age (early 20s). Our interactions with this member of staff have included him asking us to delete our negative reviews, IN PERSON, after we had already left the venue. EDIT 2: There is now a review actively lying about our behaviour in the venue. We did not complain about the wine selection, in fact the bartender made us wait 10 minutes while he served his mates before he sarcastically informed us that there was only the one wine option. Onto the idea that we "decided to tamper with the venue", one member of our party knocked over a small lamp that was on the table, and this meant the member of staff felt vindicated in shouting at us like children. Sure, he shouldn't have touched the lamp, but it was completely undamaged and the response was completely out of order. EDIT 3: I can’t believe I’m editing this again, but its clear to me from the reply to this review that the member of staff working Saturday has lied to the owner about his actions, which to me are grounds for dismissal. That is all I’m going to add.

A small group of people left negative reviews this evening. This was a co-ordinated misrepresentation of the establishment. The group walked into a WHISKY bar, complained about the wine selection, and despite being recommended somewhere more accommodating, decided to tamper with the establishment and negatively impact other patrons. As a result; they were told to pipe down, or leave. They then expressed their intent to leave a negative review to intentionally damage the reputation of this overwhelmingly excellent whisky bar.

Went as a group of 3 for the “world of whisky” experience. There were 8 others there and it worked really well as we were all there for the same reason so everyone got along really well. The host was very knowledgeable, but also very funny and easy to talk to, she made the whole experience what it was. The whisky’s were quite varied and all of a very good quality so it was a really good chance to try some things that I wouldn’t normally get to. The price was very reasonable considering the whiskys and the experience we got. I wouldn’t hesitate to book another session

Went on a whim. Me and my partner were total whisky newbies and the bar tender made us feel right at home. We explained to him we hadn't really tried whisky before and he was so considering. Talking us through how to drink it in a proper fashion. He asked what flavours we liked and suggested drinks that would fit our pallet and within our price range. Fantastic little night out that didn't brake the bank

We didn't eat at the venue which we attended on Saturday 25th January 2025 (7pm) for a whisky tasting session with Ren. On arrival we were greeted by Aaron Collins who helped us access the premises via a portable ramp as my husband Martin uses a disability scooter. He ensured everything was accessible for us and we were OK throughout the time we were there. He also helped Martin out of the premises at the end making sure he was safe on the ramp. As regards the whisky tasting Ren was very knowledgeable and not only provided us with great advice and guidance with regards to tasting and drinking the six whiskies available but also invited questions and comments throughout the session. Thanks to both Aaron and Ren for a great night at Grain and Glass. We will certainly return in the future and strongly recommend the venue for improving your knowledge and experience of whisky as you'll be well looked after! Sue and Martin Jones (Stourbridge)

We went for the Burns Night experience and, therefore we tasted Whiskys from Octave matched to the Scottish food courses we tried. The night was outstanding. Lots of like-minded people there to really enjoy themselves and open-minded to a totally new experience sharing their love for whisky. It's one of the best evenings I can remember. I go the the Grain & Glass about every 6 weeks and I love the friendly staff who are very attentive, funny and extremely knowledgeable about whisky in general. They cater to all tastes. There is even a blackboard up in the establishment to track how many whisky converts they have made. Of course, they serve other non whisky drinks, craft beers, G&T, cocktails, etc. I couldn't recommend the place highly enough.

A Memorable Whisky Tasting Experience My partner and I recently attended a whisky tasting at Grain and Glass, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Ren led the session, and her expertise truly shone through. Her immense knowledge of whisky (and whiskey!) was impressive, and she guided us through the nuances of each sample with enthusiasm and clarity. Not only did she make the session highly informative, but her approachable style also made it thoroughly enjoyable. We both came away having learnt so much more about the art of whisky production, the differences between regions, and how to better appreciate the unique flavours in every glass. If you're a whisky lover or just curious to learn more, I can't recommend Grain and Glass enough—especially with Ren leading the way!

Four of us signed up as members. Will absolutely be coming back. Friendly staff, lovely atmosphere, nice food, and you could go twice a week for a year and still find a whisky you hadn't tried.

I visited this venue during the Birmingham Cocktail Weekend and was disappointed by the experience. The staff were unfriendly and unwelcoming, and the tables remained dirty and uncleared from previous customers for the entire duration of my visit. This meant I had to enjoy my cocktail alongside leftover plates and glasses. Additionally, this venue seems ill-prepared for the Birmingham Cocktail Weekend. It felt out of place for them to have signed up, especially since they expect patrons to keep quiet (no laughing) to avoid disturbing customers in the adjacent room who were participating in a tasting session Our group was asked to leave despite just enjoying ourselves and expressing our happiness. It’s unacceptable that we were treated this way.

A terrific experience that reminded me why I fell in love with whisky in the first place. A warm welcome from Renata before our group was taken on a "World Of Whisky" tasting. Flavourful whiskies, infectious enthusiasm, wide-ranging knowledge, and one of the best parts of whisky in my humble opinion – getting to know people. I'm already subtly hinting to my nearest and dearest about gifting me another tasting experience for Christmas and plotting how to sneak in a swift dram whenever I find the time.

Renate (hope I’ve got that right) was a wonderful teacher, explaining about the history, the different distilleries and how to smell and taste whisky as well as blending our own!

Excellent evening. Bar staff were friendly and helpful. Ren, who led the tasting, is a true expert on all things whisky. Me and brother learnt a lot. I recommend to both those new to the world of whisky as well as veterans.

My husband and I had been kindly given a voucher for the whisky tasting and the whole experience was fantastic. We arrived early and were greeted with a warm welcome. We enjoyed a superb Old fashioned before the actual tasting which was so good that we had to have another before leaving! Renata was an excellent guide to the 6 whiskys that we tasted and injected humour and serious whisky knowledge into the experience. Everything was perfect and we will definitely return to try a different tasting session and enjoy this hidden gem of a place again. Many thanks to the lovely staff.

The food was absolutely banging, the karahi was absolutely fresh, and there’s loads of places that say the lamb is actually lamb but they put mutton. The karahi was fully lamb and was so fresh. Arshad was so helpful and so kind. Thank you so much and will be back

A huge thank you to Kimono!! After having my appointment cancelled by another salon on Christmas Eve, Kimono managed to fit me in. Tyler was absolutely amazing. Always a pleasant atmosphere, clients made to feel welcome and my hair looked/felt fab❤️
