Hennessey's Bar in Birmingham

A large and busy pub, good for watching live sporting events with plenty of tv’s and an outdoor big screen. A wide selection of beers and drinks are available. Central location and a lively spot at the weekends. Didn’t have any food.

Love this place some amazing food and great music the detours band were fab

Lovely place, food was okay, they sent me the wrong food but was quickly rectified. Watched the football and after they had karaoke which was fun. Good evening/nighout overall

Great atmosphere, reasonable prices. Lovely outdoor space.

Was in birmingham for a show on Sun.9/2/2025.Went into Hennesseys bar for Sunday lunch and all i can say is am glad i did.Bar staff super friendly,great pint of Guinness and the food was delicious and plentiful.Service was great and would be back in anytime am in birmingham.

Great place to celerbrate and enjoy a night out

Best Bar in Brum, good food, good beers, barmaids spot on. Great atmosphere, well worth a visit.

Great place. Super friendly staff. Good deals.

Staff are friendly, and service is really good.

Beer was off, hence people drinking shorts and Guinness 26/12/24

Absolutely fantastic place with more than reasonable prices and great service. I have a question about lost and found although, I believe I left my wallet ( black) there couple weeks ago there should be an ID on it with the name “Leletu”, would like to check digitally if it’s still there as I don’t live in Birmingham but will absolutely travel back as it’s very important, please get back to me soon as you can, Thank you

Sorry it won’t let me respond to your response to my review but I’d like to extend my sincerest apologies for visiting your establishment as a group of struggling students on a budget. I completely understand that your policy restricts you from letting a small group of students occupy your nearly empty bar whilst splitting some food and drinks. I can only hope next time we could be removed in a more polite manner, rather than being shooed out like street rats for simply visiting your fine establishment and socialising with a few drinks after a long day at uni. I suppose next time my friends and I will just go to a spoons since their policies are much less civilised, rather than trying to help out our local business with what we can afford to spend. Sorry for any inconvenience our party may have caused and the costly heating bills you must have had to pay for the six of us to sit in your establishment for half an hour. Good day.

Large roomy pub with large selection of food and drink.

A lively bar with good range of drinks

Found this place by accident, but what an absolutely fantastic spot. Friendly pleasant staff, reasonable priced food that was very good , just the type of food perfect to have with a couple of pints. Really nicely designed interior and a really good atmosphere. Definitely recommend.

Seems a great spot just outside the city centre, best non alcoholic Guinness I’ve tasted. Would like to check it out at night or the weekend

Abdul the security guard was absolutely fantastic tonight, really pleasant and looked after us very well. We would definitely recommend this place for a night out

Mis amigos y yo visitamos hoy (miércoles 20 de noviembre). El bar estaba casi vacío. La mitad de nosotros pedimos un aperitivo y una bebida y estábamos hablando cuando uno de los chicos del bar (que nos dijeron por su compañero de trabajo se llamaba Levi) se acercó a nosotros y nos dijo “¿entonces cada uno de ustedes va a tomar una copa o va a tener que irse?” Cuando se le preguntó “por qué”, comenzó a inventar algunas excusas como “tenemos que calentarlo, cuesta calentar este lugar”. Recordatorio: el bar estaba casi vacío y nuestra mesa había pedido bebidas y aperitivos. Cuando nos íbamos todavía tenía mi bebida y le pregunté “¿podemos tener 5 minutos mientras termino mi bebida”, a lo que él comenzó a ser grosero y dijo “puedes quedarte, pueden irse” y simplemente se negó a dejar que mis amigos esperaran 5 minutos. Cuando se le pidió que diera más explicaciones sobre por qué nos están echando, se alejó y no proporcionó ningún detalle. Creemos que fue injusto por las siguientes razones: 1 . El bar estaba casi vacío, por lo tanto no ocupamos espacio de nadie y nadie estaba esperando para sentarse. 2 . Estábamos PAGANDO CLIENTES. 3 . No éramos ruidosos y no nos comportamos de manera inapropiada. No había razón legítima para echarnos de este bar. Esto fue extremadamente grosero y no volveremos.

Kicked out for no reason. Me and my friends visited today (Wed 20th Nov). The bar was nearly empty. Half of us ordered a snack and a drink and were talking when one of the guys from the bar (who we were told by his co-worker was called Levi) came up to us and said “so are each one of you gonna get a drink or are you gonna have to leave?” When asked “why”, he began making up some excuses such as “we have to heat it up it costs to heat this place”? Reminder: the bar was nearly empty and our table had ordered drinks and snacks. As we were leaving I still had my drink and I asked “can we have 5 minutes while I finish my drink”, to which he started being rude and said “you can stay, they can leave” and just kept refusing to let my friends wait 5 minutes. When asked to deliver further explanation as to why we are being kicked out, he walked away and did not provide any details. We believe it was unfair for following reasons: 1. The bar was nearly empty, therefore we did not take up anybody’s space and nobody was waiting to take a seat. 2. We were PAYING COSTUMERS. 3. We were not loud and did not behave inappropriately. There was no legitimate reason to kick us out of this bar. This was extremely rude and we will not be coming back.

Im a black guy and did not appreciate the Asian female security guard telling the black male security guards to search me as they had not intention to do so before she said. Then I did not see them search anyone else going in just after me or before. Smells of age old slavery..

A great place to drink very big inside and a great garden also and good prices for alcohol for city prices 5* from me

Nice afternoon Sunday with Friends watching the match, food looked very tasty

Great place to drink & watch sports, wonderful friendly staff, the food is absolutely amazing. Unbelievable value especially Monday to Thursday 50% off and Sunday lunch 12-2 half price!

Good pint of Guinness. One of the best in brum 👍🏻 foods is pretty good as well.

1st time ever attending this hidden gem of a venue - we came in for food and the liverpool vs chelsea game on 20th October 2024 Food was gorgeous, staff were friendly and atmosphere was great - the size of the beer garden and the screen was insane too Didnt even know this venue existed til a few days before, but will 100% be back!

Antes de pedir comida pedimos una pinta de cerveza más un gran gin tonic servido por un barman amable. Pero todo salió mal cuando fuimos a pagar. Somos un par de pensionistas recién bajados del tren de Escocia y solo tenían billetes de banco escoceses. También habíamos dejado nuestras tarjetas en nuestra habitación, lo que siempre hacemos después de haber sufrido de un carterista. Por lo tanto, fue un enfrentamiento con el barman prefiriendo verter las bebidas en el fregadero que aceptar nuestro dinero en efectivo. Mensaje a los propietarios, los clientes no siempre tienen razón, pero siempre son los que tienen el dinero. He estado visitando Birmingham desde 1988 y mi dinero escocés NUNCA ha sido rechazado antes.

Good service even when very busy

Stop off point to see the Blues , KRO

Such a bargain, gorgeous food too, friendly staff

Some staff are friendly and quicker service than others. Nice venue, plenty of space indoors to watch sports and nice beer garden with big screen. The venue is generally clean and well presented. Prices are fair and decent food with offers.

Ran an event in the function room at Hennessey's, the staff were by far the friendliest I've ever interacted with for this kind of event, I'll definitely be looking to book there again!

Big place, decent prices, and superb staff. A good place to call in either before or after a match at St Andrews.

No puedo elogiar a Hennesseys lo suficiente. Es aireado ligero y bien cuidado. Gran variedad de bebidas y comida. Comida a mitad de precio de lunes a jueves. La noche de juegos de rol se celebra todos los jueves y es fabuloso. Ven y pruébalo a partir de las 7 pm

Watched the Euros final here, shame about the result but a group of 6 had a great day from 2pm till midnight. For how busy it was on the day you didn’t have to wait long at the bar, food quality was great and the management/security got it right as it wasn’t oversold.

A nice spot to watch live sports and have a quick drink. Youthful crowd! Came here to watch the Euros; there’s an outdoor garden and bar for smoking and a large screen to show sports. I liked it here but would only come here to watch a game! Not the biggest selection of drinks on offer but decent beers available. A very fun atmosphere although this place attracts a youthful crowd.

Connor me ayudó a ordenar mi reserva y cuidar de mí y mi 1000% debe ser promocionado fue más allá y se aseguró de que estuviera seguro, que es más que la mayoría de las personas.

food was terrible staff are terrible especially the security

Open concept seating for outdoor bar. Large LED screen outside for sporting events and food prices aren't too bad either

Can't recommend enough, the perfect place to have a pint and watch the sport. Food is top-notch 👌🏼

Great food, we had 6 dishes of the small bits.

Amazing place and bar staff made it even better

Great food, lovely place to spend some time.

Had a great time , good drinks fair prices and live music aswel

round corner from Adagio Apartments popped in tea time so not that full obvs… however it is a great place different areas great range of beers - i’m almost sad i won’t be in here for the euros ….. oh guinness is mint

Visitó temprano por la tarde y luego alrededor de las 10 pm como alojarse en el hotel cercano. El personal del bar muy bueno pero increíblemente pobre portero arruinó nuestra noche siendo totalmente irrazonable, no escuchando y reaccionando en exceso. Un miembro de nuestro grupo había bebido un poco y los porteros lo hicieron pararse afuera durante 10 minutos con una pinta de agua antes de entrar. No irrazonable y después de 20 minutos se le permitió entrar y continuó bebiendo otra pinta de agua. Los 4 nos sentamos tranquilamente a charlar y cuando nos dieron otra copa otro portero dijo que estaba bien que el muchacho tomara 1 copa solamente. Estábamos disfrutando de nuestras bebidas cuando el portero principal se le acercó y básicamente lo echó! Traté de racionalizar con él, pero absolutamente no lo entendí. Bien hecho y un hombre de primera - ¡NO! Aprecio los bares de la ciudad y todos los problemas asociados, y el requisito de personal de la puerta, pero el lugar era muy tranquilo y nuestra noche estropeada por un estúpido individuo irrazonable.

Our after work local...Like this place. Nice size, good range of drinks. Good offers and food is good too. Great in summer with beer garden. Been here a few times over lunch and evening. Staff are good, and place is generally clean and well presented. Good place tucked away in Digbeth. Prices are fair and there's so much space. They regularly have gigs and tribute bands, especially through summer on different weekend nights. Some are in the day time on weekends so even with kids a great chill out place. Lots of screens all around so plenty of sport action with a huge screen in the beer garden. Downstairs a private hire venue as well.

Love this place The bands that play here are amazing , brilliant atmosphere .

Top quality service and beer. Great for watching sports and a nice and friendly atmosphere

Football on multiple screens in the afternoon with a few beers and a live banding the evening , great atmosphere and lively. Didn't eat but the food looked lovely , would definitely recommend a visit .

Fantastic sports bar and food despite being a little pricey was very tasty. I would highly recommend this place

Great family night out with live music. Niamh was brilliant

Great atmosphere, a large screen in the garden which had heaters. Inside DJs and a live music set. Bars staff were fast and polite.

Fridays are pretty quiet in Digbeth, but Hennessy’s is a lovely place to spend an afternoon. A nice atmosphere with plenty of people, great music, bargain cocktails and absolutely fabulous service from Marie. Thank you for a lovely little afternoon out.

Nice pint bar man really friendly and¹ helpful

Amazing place to watch sports. My only quam is that the kid that brought my food out dropped one of the chicken tenders, just said sorry and walked away. Then, when I went to get another round, with a table of food and drinks still on it, he cleaned it all up. I was not done. Otherwise great experience

I went in during the FA cup game so it was obviously busy, ordered food which arrived alot quicker than advised which was good, only issue was I ordered through the app and it just came up with an error saying your order might or might not have been accepted! Some clarity would be nice!

Great for watching football. Food served late. Plenty of bar staff on!

Went to a reunion. The buffet was excellent. Although bar service was a little slow staff were friendly, apologised. Clean and tidy.

Confrontational bouncers who were very rude to be honest. Wouldn't let us in with bottles of water. Said there was water available inside but there wasn't. £10 each to get in which is a joke and the place was packed, inside was like a sauna so we had to stay outside and we couldn't enjoy the live band. The toilets were utterly disgusting, and most of the staff were miserable. I wouldn't go there again if you paid me. Edit: the response has cemented my opinion. It was hot inside ALL DAY. I asked about water and was told I had to pay for it. You know full well the parade was on until 1:30, why would anyone go in before then if they want to see the parade? Money grabbers. Also every member of staff I engaged with were miserable. I don't care how busy you are. Awful through and through.

Great place, great food at great prices. There's an outdoor area that's perfect for when the sun shines. Barstaff are super friendly and helpful.

Visited for a work reunion and found the staff very friendly and helpful. Plus doorstaff were very polite. They laid on a buffet, beautiful. Many thanks.

Absolutely top-notch venue, very welcoming to a bunch of table-top roleplay geeks! We contacted them to ask if we could run our regular Dungeons and Dragons night (every Thursday from 6:30 if you were wondering!) at their venue - seeing as they had such a nice downstairs bar, which was not used that much on a Thursday. Initially we could tell they were a bit "huh?" at the thought that we could get 50 or so D&D geeks there every week, but they offered us a deal and it has turned out to be amazing: room hire is very reasonable, and the food and drink is absolutely superb! Now we pack out the downstairs bar every Thursday, and we don't want to ever look for another venue ever again: Hennessy's is doing us proud! And if you want to play D&D in Birmingham city centre at one of the best pubs in Brum, with top quality food and drink, then pop in any Thursday night or check us out at https://rpgbirmingham.co.uk/

Fantastic day as always ☘️❤️ brilliant staff still the best bar to go in town thank you guys that never change love yuz sue

Irish pub in England- lots of positives with large venue, many screens and good food. Lacking good sound during sport yet turned it up massively for their celebration sounds etc. Few staff were a bit sarky and unwelcoming....not the Irish way!

Six Nations: big, spacious pub. Ber staff serve quickly. Most of them very approachable and friendly, one or two a bit cocky and sarcastic. Food served quickly and was good... had the burger and it was tasty with a chargrilled taste - yum! A great day spent here overall but let down by lack of speakers to hear any commentary and total noise drown out of the anthems... gutted not to sing along to the Irish Anthem. Lacked Irishness for me.

Great pub and great atmosphere. Brilliant for watching sports, lots of screens and outside has one of the largest screens in Birmingham to watch sports. Great service at the bar. Overall a great pub and good food.

Nice and quiet. Smoking area smells like fish though 😂

Amazing good food,company friendly Staff

On their website they say "Craft & traditional beers". Stupidly, I took this to mean Real Ale. No such luck. A place for music, TV Sport and Burgers, truly a 'Bar'. Not a Pub to go for a drink, unless you want it to be cold and fizzy. Shame that the Website had not been a bit more helpful.

Great Irish bar in Digbeth with the biggest screen you've ever seen. Good Guinness, regular live bands. A great spot with friends.

Went out with work, good vibes and prices o drinks. 💯🎶💓😍

Staff were helpful but unfortunately only vegan options were chips. Which were alright, as it was mid week was quite cheap.

Live music, superb atmosphere 👌. Brilliant fun night. Drinks night only 🤪

Wow, what an amazing place to watch live music. Beer is very reasonably priced

Good food, good selection of beers, and multiple different screens showing football. Superb.

Always a top night for me . The live entertainment is always good. Staff are good and prices are competitive, cannot say about food as always to busy dancing with the misses to eat but looks good.

Good place to meet , service friendly, lots of sports screens.

Excellent service, attentive staff. Busy but great atmosphere, huge TV outside, outside bar, loads of tables.

The volume was too loud. We ordered a hamburger and it was delicious .

Good beer and excellent outdoor area with giant TV to watch football

Great atmosphere before the bcfc match

Brilliant place with superb fast food and brilliant customers, absolute excellent music venue as well

Took my sister and nephew who came from New York and they absolutely loved it. Loved all the free chocolate.

I have just held my 50th party in the Basement function room at Hennessy’s. Great room with its own bar, lovely food and brilliant staff, Elaine and her team are so helpful - highly recommend for private functions!

Great staff & impressive Guinness

Really great experience at Hennesseys. The staff were brilliant, service was quick and top notch despite a full house. Food was great aswell. Definitely a place worth visiting to catch up or watch any games for a fantastic atmosphere.

Lamb shanks are on point but they never have any

Music was absolutely blaring for the duration of our visit. Asked 3 different members of staff to please turn the music down even slightly but they all refused, one even smirking. I've never seen such contempt for customers. Our ears were ringing when we got home. Whenever we were ordering we had to yell at the bar staff because they couldn't hear us with the noise. The only reason we didn't leave is because we were there for the rugby and most bars in town were already packed. Won't be returning again.

Came in at about 3:40PM staff was friendly/ helpful, ordered meal of chicken wrap n chips (with pineapple juice) cost £6.50, wrap good, chips really good pineapple juice amazing. Moving onto seats/ general atmosphere seats comfortable, tables/ chairs clean, it was quite quite and peaceful. I really enjoyed the whole experience. 5 stars all round.

Great place for live sport. Good finger food

Came across this bar by chance and had a great evening. The huge screen was a great feature. The food was excellent and the bonus was it was 50% off. Great night.

What an amazing venue !!!!!! Great bar, great staff, great atmosphere and the party room is perfect. Nothing too much trouble, loved it, thank you.

Un pub enorme con jardín interior y música en directo. Una buena opción

Bonne ambiance et bossue chouette

Música en directo y muy buen ambiente.....las camareras muy majas

Great place to touch down and watch football and sink a few pints.

Chouette ambiance et nourriture delicieuse

Beau bar à cocktail, service rapide

Massive sports bar with plenty of screens and sitting. Lots of drinks options

Classic boozer, tons of atmosphere, plenty of beers on offer, they even sell vapes. Massive LED screen in the back garden for sports, and big enough to usually seat everyone on a busy night. Had a mixup with burgers, but that was because the table numbers can be moved around. Also, piped in music in back garden was blasting out louder than the live band inside earlier on.
