Hop Garden in Birmingham

What a great pub with 5 guest cask ales, 4 ciders and numerous craft keg lines. Such friendly staff make your visit welcome. Huge beer garden at the back with pizzas made to order. Well worth seeking out 👍🏻

Love hop garden! Great atmosphere, super cosy, the owner and staff are so friendly. Also, there is a good range of beers and wines, both alcoholic and loads of non-alcoholic - Strong recommend.

First time here be back soon and thank you xx

Amazing selection of beers, plenty of gin and other drinks. Impresive fridge too. But best of all the garden, with an atmosphere you can't buy. My favourite place to hang out without doubt!

Used to go to this pub for boardgames evening. In summertime has a nice open garden and a covered garden area that is heated in winter time

Popped in for a quick drink lovely indoors out of the rain. Wonderful beers and service thanks

Been going rookery now for over 3 years .....excellent place......mixed age group ......a good mixture of physical ability type people

We didn't have food, but we will be returning to have some. Love place and a beautiful layout for outside drinks and food and a big screen. Staff are so friendly and very helpful, very impressed all round 👏

Still the best pub in Harborne! Came when it first opened and it’s still great, especially the garden!

First visit on Sunday evening June 23rd very impressive great beer quality of

Absolute gem with a gorgeous beer garden and lush craft beers. The hosts are lovely people. Dog friendly and such a calm oasis.

Lovely garden, loads of tables, nice interior, parking is bad so get a taxi if you can and the staff behind the bar could do with being a bit more pleasant 😕 but we all had a good time in the garden.

I love the hop garden, it has an excellent choice of beers, lovely staff and a great garden with under cover and outdoor options. ✨

Polite and amusing staff... promptly served... Great range of drinks.

Lovely Ray ale pub. Busy and trendy place

Great pub to discover craft beers. Always a warm welcome.

real nice place in harbourn. went for games night, there is a really nice outdoor space. staff were friendly too. Will go back soon.

I have been to the hop garden several times and enjoyed a great atmosphere and excellent pizzas in summer time. Recently I rented a garden room which was perfect for my bday. Brendon and rest of the staff were fantastic, welcoming and very helpful. Great choice of quality beers. Everyone loved the venue and we all had a great time. I would strongly recommend vist to Hop Garden.

We had a joint 50th birthday here .. and was so well looked after by Brendon & his team! Amazing beers available… friendly staff… all in all a great pub!

We had a baby shower for my daughter and the attention we had from Brendon was nothing but exceptional. He organised a buffet which everyone enjoyed he was attentive. Myself and my daughter want to thank Brendon and his lovely bar staff, I didn't catch her name, she will know who she is who looked after us on Saturday 20th January 2024. Thanks again folkes Margaret

Fave pub in Harborne, alongside Sommar! Great range of beers on tap and in the fridge. Top range of Sours, and snacks too! Great team behind the bar, and dog friendly. Warm & friendly decor inside & out, great outdoor space too. Top marks all round!

This is definitely our favourite bar in Birmingham. All the staff are very friendly and helpful. There’s a massive selection of beers, ales and ciders that change so there’s always something new to try when we go. The pizza menu is great and the quality rivals that of a pizza restaurant. The atmosphere is cosy and well decorated. We always take friends and family here when they’re visiting.

a 14 minute drive/just under an hour's walk from the city centre (New Street station) at 19 Metchley Lane, Harborne, Birmingham B17 0HT, you'll find yourself at 'The Hop Garden' - a real gem of a pub. Now, from the main High Street, there's a little walkway to the side of M&S which if you walk down and then take an immediate right turn, you will find yourself standing outside of this wonderful pub. A warm, welcoming inside and a huge, partially covered beer garden, you're spoilt for choice on where to sit. If you want A* service-with-a-smile and a ridiculously great selection of some of the most wonderful and well-kept beers and ciders this side of Birmingham, you most definitely *are* in the correct place...100%. Be sure to check out their fridge full of wines and craft beers that have been specially selected from all over. If what's on tap doesn't tickle your fancy, then you may find something in the fridges that does! Not just drinks/beverages...they have a professional on-site chef with a fired-up pizza oven in their kitchen where they make the most delicious, freshly-made pizza (yeah, it's not a bunch of thawed-out, previously-frozen pizza bases topped with slop, it's ALL freshly made dough topped with the finest, fresh ingredients) AND, should you have any particular dietary requirements, such as say you require a gluten-free pizza, that can be done for at no extra cost, with pleasure. They have a great selection of pizzas available to customers..and if there's anything you need specifically tweaked to make it your own/for dietary reasons, all you need to do is ask/specify it to the staff . So to conclude: 'The Hop Garden' is a lovely, little place, slightly off the beaten track in Harborne. Fine, well-kept Beers? ✅ Freshly-made pizza to Eat-In or Take Away? ✅ Helpful, friendly and welcoming Staff? ✅ Well-behaved Dogs Welcome? ✅ Loyalty Card system for customers? ✅ Also: Live Music, every now and again (as advertised)? ✅ It's rare for such a place to get it so right in all areas, but Brendon, Karina and their staff have firmly and squarely hit those various nails on the head. Enjoy your visit and come back soon!

Excellent beer, excellent staff.

Great venue, friendly staff and delicious ales!

A good selection of craft beers and ales and also an interesting selection of bottled continental beers. Also has a good size garden.

Great little place, definitely come again. Very friendly, food great for a bear garden area. A must try

Always great service, always great atmosphere. Owner takes care of decent customers, staff are always friendly and the range/quality of beers is excellent!

Cosy spot with great draft selection. Friendly service.

Had a great time even though the pizza oven was broken. Great little hidden gem in harborne

Really decent bar in Harborne, the garden is amazing. Only fault could do with a better seem toon on draft otherwise eoumd have been a 5

Nice little pub with so many craft beers for purchase. Waitress kindly reccomended some 0.0% beers and one on tap - great service. Will come again!

Excellent local pub just off Harborne high street. Lovely atmosphere, always a great selection of different real ales that’s constantly rotating, solid pizzas, and when the pizzas aren’t available they’re happy for you to bring in food from elsewhere.

Owner is amazing and knows his beer. Particularly good for dark beers

My absolute favourite pub in Harborne - beer garden is amazing since the refurb post covid!

Great pub! the garden at the rear is spot on always a good selection of real ales with helpful advice from bar staff

Lovely atmosphere Wish there was entertainment x

Lovely pub with a fantastic beer garden and super selection of drinks. Just a shame it’s not especially easy to park

Went there on Saturday evening for the first time. Wonderful atmosphere, wonderful selection of drinks and a wonderful garden, even in the rain! The bar staff are friendly and professional, if you've not been, it's well worth a visit!

Cracking little pub with great ales and good atmosphere harborne's best pub

Delicious pizza's great beer what more do u want

Great bar, great bartenders, great atmosphere!

Very good pub with a very good selection of ales!!

Lovely little pub just off the madness, which is the high street. Has the perfect balance, not too busy, not too quiet and magnificent staff, taken good care of by Wilf and the other young lady, with glasses. Good choice of beers and cider, as per tv board as well as the usual suspects, guinness, madri etc. Looks like a grand beer garden out the back (we went at night) so will be testing that out in the summer. Even the wife was impressed, which is saying something. Will be back when its stops raining and snowing.

Great little pub hidden away off high street. Real shame we discovered it just as we are leaving the area! Brill drink selection and not expensive either. Staff are really friendly too. A special thanks to Will for some great beer recommendations and insights when we've come in recently. Always nice to meet people passionate about their work!

Lovely, cosy pub with a great selection of beer and cider, and staff who go out of their way to give excellent service. If you want food, check ahead to see if they have a pop-up kitchen running or if you need to bring your own.

Good quality drinks, friendly staff,looney landlord

Just moved in this area, took a walk to the Hop Pub for the first time, must admit probably the best pub been into for years and that’s the truth, greeted with a smile by ( I presume the owner) no problem with our dog sat out side in the garden area, had a couple of pints, had a chat with the guy made us feel welcome and comfortable, this will defo be our local, nice to find a gem like this

A must visit if you enjoy great, well kept beer and are in Harborne.

Not great selection of wine for my partner and the one we settled with was pretty bad. Oh well, at least it is a beer place and good draughts? Not this time. Shame because I really wanted to like this place

Love this place! Great drinks, owners are lovely and dog friendly 😊

Staff are awesome, the venue is quirky and cool. We go for the free board games night on Tuesdays! The burgers are a solid 8/10 and for the price, really it's a 9/10.

Great atmosphere! Had a fantastic game night, thanks Andy, will definitely be back!

Great space, good choice of drinks

Good ales, guest food suppliers. Great when sunny and warm in the garden...

Best pub in Harborne by far! Great garden and an amazing selection of drinks!

This pub has a huge variety of beer and cider and a huge garden to enjoy them in! The garden has lots of uncovered space and a sizeable covered area for rainy days. On warmer, busier days, an outdoor bar opens to serve cocktails, which was a nice surprise to us the other week. The regular pop-up food vendors have always been a treat, particularly Bangin' Wings. There is not a huge variety of food options, but what is there is good quality and well priced. I am unsure if food vendors are there every day of the week, so it may be worth checking ahead to be sure. The staff are also friendly and helpful. Overall, this is one of my favourite pubs in the area!

Very nice pub with a large variety of beers and ciders. There's something new every week.

Great outdoor space. Board and card games on Tuesdays.

Great reception by the staff/owner. Always a good selection if berr and a fantastic beer garden! Highly recommended.

Great host, great garden and excellent choice of cask, craft and spirits. Pop up food changes regularly and is also excellent.

Great atmosphere, great staff, friendly people. Do you self a favour and take yourself to the fridge of dream, wow what a selection

Lovely place to drink in the sun

Excellent pub with great selection of beers and a lovely outside area with plenty of cover as well. Staff are really friendly and helpful.

Best pub in harborne: fantastic ambience both inside and out and an excellent selection of nontrivial ciders!

Excellent venue with considerable variety of drinks, run by people who care about what they're doing. I can definitely recommend their pop-up kitchen events, as well as their board games nights every Tuesday!

Lovely place. Very Friendly staff and great atmosphere for groups and families. Good selection of ales and wings!

Excellent place. Good selection of beers. The garden is "an island of zen and peace" in the middle of Harborne.

We love this pub. If you've never been before, you must, I'm sure you'll love it! We're loving the new improvements.

Great place and chilled atmosphere - top class beers ☺️

Great pub, good food would recommend to anyone

A great pub. Wonderful and lively atmosphere. Large beer garden, dog friendly.

Loved it! One of the best beer gardens around and an excellent choice of drinks! Please advertise the garden more because even inside you just think it’s the toilets.

Decent outside seating, manager is a little rude though

This place and the White Horse have the best beer in Harborne. Great ambiance, premises and staff. Beer garden looking good too. I'm from Acocks Green and miss Brendon immensely (Ale drinkers will know what I mean) 5 stars well deserved 👍

fantastic place nice friendly staffs

Great pub with a great selection of real ales and cider. Outdoor area is fantastic with booths and heaters. They have some fab guest kitchens providing some great food too.

Great vibes and proper good beer with a wide selection of craft and specials

Great beer festival last weekend.

The staff was friendly and helpful the beer was on form.

Very nice pub and with the new tables and seating area outside with heating it good to go in all weather's and great beer selection too and a decent price

Great craft beer and different street food on a day to day basis. Very accomodating for a large party of us, can't recommend enough!

Now a 5 star rating from 3, came here today (29/09/2021). Had a fantasy evening in the marquee!

good range of beer and great service, Charlie was particularly helpful

Love this place. Relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff. Outside area is great, lots of seating and under cover. We had a great time.

Huge list of beers, lots of space in the garden, friendly staff, ordering via website changed my life! And different food throughout the week - just what everyone needs!

I kid you not, £2.60 for some blackcurrant cordial, and that's as exciting as the selection gets for the drivers or non drinker members of the party.

Sadly feels in decline with untended, un-watered and unkempt plants waiting on every shelf and windowsill to die. Good selection of beers and good value but feels really unloved. We made a point of asking for a jug of water which we used to try to revive some of the dried out cacti, succulents and even very sadly, hop-plants.

Great beer and ciders available. Good outdoor setup for live sport and music.

Good range of ales and other drinks. Good sized beer garden.

Good selection of beers, good service from the staff. Enjoyable music.

A great pub. It was the first time we came to Hop Garden yesterday evening and a good time was had by all. Ordering drinks via the app was straight forward. And the quick service of the drinks. Friendly staff who made our night enjoyable. Great atmosphere. And the food from the Greek BBQ was perfect. Would highly recommend and will certainly be coming back. A well deserved five stars.

A great beer pub. Great selection of (well kept) cask and craft beer. Friendly staff. They asked us what music we'd like on as well and as they were not doing food at the time suggested we could bring our own or get food delivered. They got a knife for our pizza too! Only slight improvement would be better info about when food is on or not, but we're definitely coming back. Well behaved kids are welcome even though they are not going for that market

Nice garden. Quick service. Prava on tap, can't go wrong.

We had a fab time here today - plenty of tables, quick service (using the app) and friendly, approachable staff. Prices are also really great - a round of 3 drinks only cost me £12 :)

Great place for a beer, chill and enjoy with friends

It's aight,could do with some tunes

Great beers, just needs tarting up a bit, and maybe some sport on.

Went after a bike ride, great range of ales and cider (the Welsh cider was fab!), easy & quick app ordering, and love the changes made to the garden during lockdown.

Lovely little pub that has adapted really well post-COVID19 with new outdoor space, nicely partitioned off with good signage, facemask policy and hand gel by the entrance. Staff were really friendly and the service was really quick when using their web-app to order, which was a trouble-free experience (supports Google & Apple pay, so no credit card needed). Great choice of drinks at reasonable prices too. We'd been cycling and didn't have locks with us unfortunately and the manger/owner (not sure which) was really nice in allowing us to store our bikes in their garage on this occasion. We had a fantastic evening and stayed for 4 pints despite the weather getting colder! Will definitely return.
