Sixes Social Cricket in Birmingham

The pizzas were good, the game was really fun and the manager was really accommodating! We had a great time.

Held our son’s 10th birthday here on Sunday morning. Kids loved it, parents loved it. Lovely surprise candy floss firework thingy from a very helpful waitress. Food was great (so much better than same kinda food from past kids indoor play party’s etc) and kids all had great fun. Will come back for more practice! Thank you Sixes staff 👍🏼

Came here with a group of friends and it was good fun. You can set the difficulty level to match your ability and no you won’t get hurt by flying balls, they are only tennis balls.

Great vibe, great fun, and also fantastic overall customer service from Liam, would highly recommend this place!

Had a really good time here. The batting cages are a lot of fun. The staff were friendly . Only downside was there wasn't enough staff serving, so service was a bit slow

Hair in pizza is never a good sign, no apology but did replace it... not very customer focused. Cricket is great but not good for young kids as ball bounces way to high for their height, so difficult to score runs which is demoralising for them.... I did explain this to the manager, but very little interest and didn't want to hear any negativity!

Fantastic first trip to Sixes. Highly recommend the pizzas. Family friendly

Great service from Brandon, thanks for explaining everything to us.

Came on Saturday with a large group. We were well looked after and everyone had a great time!

Smaller than expected. Unfortunately we tried to get the 2 for 1 offer for cocktails but was told it was only available if we had book online. We were told to pick our balls up after which was unusual because in the London courts we didn’t have too and the guys in the next court to us were not picking the balls up. Must be a new health and safety feature.

Lovely experience as I went with family/friends to watch T20 world cup match. Manager was welcoming and provided top class service. Really enjoyed out stay and played some cricket too. Would be back here soon for another match. Thank you

We were 20 minutes late going on because they were running behind, and they started the timer while explaining the game so meaning we had about 50 minutes of our game even though we paid for 1 hour. So we didn't all get a full go.

Great atmosphere the staff were fantastic and couldn't be anymore helpful and friendly. The setup of the games is great with plenty of time for multiple games. The bar had a great selection of drinks and were decently priced. I will definitely be going back!!

Overall good. Would be nice if the statistics of the session is emailed without fail for a review. Our scores from Fitzrovia was instantly updated but not from the Birmingham centre.

Fun activity to do with friends or as a couple. Good drinks selection and friendly staff

Great concept and friendly and helpful staff in getting you into a net. Beer was on the expensive side but not bad and plenty of tvs to watch sport.

Nice for not too Big gatherings and some cricket fun. Food is far from excellent but the staff are nice and attentive

Bottomless brunch here is not worth the money at all. Only one drink at a time, which is fine but you'll wait another 20 minutes for your next one. Staff were busy, but didn't seem to know what they were doing and had zero customer service skills. Food was lovely.

Pleasant atmosphere and good staff. Please don't compare it with professional cricket nets; it is a feel-good place to hang out with friends. Paid parking is available, and food and drinks are also there

The staff were friendly, venue was clean. We ordered some bacon baps. I thought these were overpriced. Two rashers of streaky bacon in a bap for £7.50. However, the pizza was good and value for money at £13. Overall a good experience. The candyfloss with sparkler was great for the children. They loved it.

Good place to have some fun! Staff are great. However, please consider having off peak offers during the day or particular days.

Great fun, even if you don't play cricket. There are different levels of bowling that you can choose from amateur to world class. When you arrive, someone talks you through the various levels & instructions on how to set up the bowling. The session is timed & the batting order is preloaded. The venue is also a bar where you can relax after your game. Highly recommended.

Super activity, even though I was poor at it! Good fun, well recommended

The session is only 30 mins long which was ok, but our intro was also taken within this time. We tried a couple of games modes, and there was inconsistency with the levels between players. We were told it has been set up wrong for one of the players which was frustrating when as mentioned this was deducted from the play time we actually had. Unfortunately we won’t return due to value for money

I've never played cricket in my life, nor watched a game but I had so much fun. Great atmosphere and friendly staff

Great night out. Food was pretty good burger and fries type. Love the concept of playing cricket with mates with some beers in between.

It's a fun place to go. I was taken there as a surprise on a day out, so I had no preconceptions. I also don't play cricket, but it's easy to play and the staff were very helpful. It caters to all different levels of skill in the same group so beginners can easily play with experts. Allow at least 15 minutes per person if you go. It's surprisingly exciting and strenuous!

Had a lovely time at Sixes !! Staff were friendly and cricket was a lot of fun for all the family. Our 8 year old loved it!! Can't comment on food I'm afraid as we didn't eat.

Excellent local team, managers and the rest of the team were very supportive, helpful and intuitive to ensure that we had smoothly run birthday party. Food quality was good as was the cricket experience. I must say initial discussions with head office put me off slightly from putting on a child’s birthday party as they didn’t come across very accommodating. I think this could’ve been subverted if I was allowed to speak to the local manager who was very accommodating on the day. Having everything centralised does not always work well. The local team really looked after us. Highly recommend.

Decent fun to be had here. The game itself was ok but the machine kept pausing which didn't help and too many balls kept not coming out so kept giving us a score of 0 kind of ruined the experience. Service from staff was good. The bounce in the nets is more like a tennis court rather than cricket pitch.

Net session was great fun, but service was terrible. Waited over 50min for brunch , which never arrived. Understaffed. Under prepared

The lighting is shockingly bright to the extent you can barely see the bowler. Beers etc were good.

Did not try any food or drinks. The place itself is east to find in the mailbox . Staff were helpful and the experience is great for a laugh and those who like to be competitive. Overall a good laugh. Definitely recommend

Good service, very fun but quite expensive

The cricket experience was a lot of fun for all adults and children involved, would recommend booking a slot. Exceptional staff and service from the moment you walk in. Drinks and dining area is average, probably better when it's sunnier on the balcony. Our only disappointment was due to the quality and lack of choice within the kids menu (kids being the harshest of critics) which was a pity. We will be back for drinks and cricket for sure!

Had a brilliant work night out. The food was great. Service was really good. Friendly staff and overall a great experience. Would definitely book again.

Super fun. Game was great. Staff are really lovely. Food is awful. Save yourself, do not eat here. Pizza or burger and the fries are 5% potato and 95% salt. The chicken burger was actually really lovely but the fries killed all taste buds. Guessing this is what they want you to do, play, drink and move on.

Excellent experience and staff is very attentive.

Good but 14 quid for 45 mins of hitting a ball is too expensive

Visited a few weeks ago for some cocktails. Young girl behind the bar was lovely, really nice chilled evening watching the sunset with some cocktails, will be back, Thanks.

Friendly staff, organised for a bday party, different difficulty levels for the game so everyone can get a chance to knock the ball around!

Turned up for our session at 10:45pm little did we realise we had accidentally booked for 10:15! Staff were super accommodating letting us play for 15 minutes before the next group turned up. We sat for drinks after our session and Tamara let us know we could have our additional 30 minutes after the next group left! The staff were friendly and went out of their way to ensure we had the full session! A great night and fab staff! Will be returning again.

We had a great experience. The staff are amazing, so helpful and make the whole thing more enjoyable. The location is great as you are in the mailbox with plenty of places to go before and after and a 5/10 minute walk from the train station. We also had food and it was really good. Couldn’t say a bad word about it. Would definitely recommend to anyone, even if you’re not really into cricket.

Real good fun, great concept, staff excellent, atmosphere and location spot on.

Cracker of a gaff to smash some sixes

Great night out with cricket lads...shame about the chicken wings my mate ordering being practically alive still in the middle and the kitchen bringing them back claiming they were "bleeding out the bone and ok to eat"🤣

Friendly staff, our waitress Emily couldn't have been more friendly and accommodating. Nets were a great experience. We all really enjoyed ourselves, and we will be back next time we visit Birmingham.

Great bar, lovely selection of cocktails and great fun in the nets. Emily- our waitress couldn't have been nicer. Highly recommend

Yesterday We went out family for father's Day out, We love cricket interactive games. We got two kid running around it was exhausting, the stairs was very high outside the bar there, it would be good if u put barrier gate for kid safety near to stairs. We would love to come again. 😃

Excellent staff and the food was great. Net was fantastic, liked how it was all cleared and cleaned before we started.

Super fun place!! Would recommend 30 min for a group of 2-3. Start off on levels and dont jump to world class straight away

Social Sixes Cricket is absolutely wicked! I had a blast playing indoor cricket with my friends. The atmosphere was buzzing, and the games were intense. It's the perfect place to have fun and unleash your cricketing skills. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for an exciting cricket experience. Keep up the fantastic work, Social Sixes!

Sympa mais il fait aimer l ambiance sport cricket...

good place for a great together , good location, could have had more time finishing our game hence 4 stars

Great fun, staff members were very friendly! Cocktails also tasted amazing !

Place was quiet for bank holiday but service and food was great. Chicken wings are must try :)

Great place, lots of fun and excellent service.

Great night, so much fun and something different. We were really well looked after by the team, who kept us “well oiled” and set the game up simply. Loved it

One of the most fun experiences that I have had in this cricket themed restaurant. A variety of choices in terms playing the game from amateur to professional to world class. A place to visit and enjoy with family and friends... really loved the atmosphere.

Great experience and the first of its kind that I have been to. Good fun and good for work outings!

Good spot for some team building. Basic drinks and grub. Good night out.

First spur of the moment visit. Good drinks options ( I didn't eat). Live sport showing on many 📺 Good customer service. Will return as want to try out the cricket 🏏

We went on a Sunday afternoon and it was such a lovely way to end the week. I was dubious as I’ve not played cricket since school (a loooong time ago), but my partner and I had the best time. Vary explained how the game worked and we were batting in no time. We loved the feedback and interactivity of the whole experience. Whilst we played we were being served drinks too. The cocktail as were surprisingly good. As it’s got a sports bar vibe I didn’t think they’d be up to much, but there were fantastic. We also had some burgers afterwards and they were super tasty. The chicken burger was thigh meat, making it moist and flavoursome. I had the spicy prawn burger and it packed a punch! If you don’t do heat, pass on that as it does have a good kick. Service was attentive and the atmosphere was friendly. There were families with lots of kids, couple having a drink and watching the footie on the TV screens, friendship groups…a place for everyone. We will definitely return.

Place felt run down if I’m honest! And the system is sooo slow! Especially since it’s based on time allowance, so much time is wasted as the system takes ages to load each turn which wastes time in return. Would only return if there was a special offer or something on as otherwise it’s just not worth it unfortunately

Cricket fest. Been a few times, most recently for our son's birthday and the kids loved it, plus the staff took great care of us

Really nice idea. Though the service experienced was poor. Bookings made well in advance and they clearly were unable to fulfill on what they had agreed. One member of staff rather terse whilst they tried to sort of their bad planning. I enjoyed the cricket but frankly not worth it for the price. Unless some kind of discount or deal I don't think I will be trying them again.

Really enjoyed our visit to Sixes. Bit pricey for the cricket but hope to return for another try. The staff were lovely, food was all good and a great spot near the mailbox.

Lovers of classic beef burger will enjoy it here. I tried the prawn burger but didn’t like it.

Booked SIXES as a last minute option for our Team night out in July this year. I have to say that the whole set up is great and the staff were helpful and fun. Very good idea for a theme pub - I'm not really into cricket, but still enjoyed the experience very much indeed. Would recommend as something a bit different.

We came all the way from Amsterdam and we loved it! Very friendly staff and we had so much fun!

Odd place. . . . Went during happy hour and tried to order a beer on the board and menu and staff said we don’t sell those beers. Ordered drinks and food and the food arrived before the drinks. Drinks came one by one, the last being a beer (after cocktails). Ready to order more drinks and the staff brought the bill, which was wrong as it didn’t have happy hour prices for cocktails.

If you haven't tried this out a good place to try something different. If you like bowling then i am sure you will love this place. Nice to go as a family with kids or as a group of friends. Easy to book and set in a beautiful place inside the mailbox along the wharf/Canalside. The customer service is quick and efficient. You can book a game and table online. Good array of drinks and food with ample seating inside and outside. The game is easy to play and lot of options from beginners to professional.

We popped in for drinks and a snack to see what the batting look liked for a future visit. This did look fun however I wouldn’t recommend going for food. Almost £8 for 4 chicken wings or a couple of small skewers was a bit excessive! Drinks were ok but you can’t really go wrong with a bottle of wine!

Visited sixes on 9th October for my son’s (39) birthday, and a group of six, including my wife. We didn’t eat, but availed ourselves of the bar, where a young lady, think Raffi, apologies if different, was absolutely brilliant. Big smile and first class customer relation skills, so helpful. The game itself was real good fun, all of the party had a go, with differing levels of skill, but the birthday boy came out on top closely followed by his mum. Although we didn’t eat, the other parties there seemed to be enjoying themselves. Great fun

Had a lovely time at Sixes. The batting was a lot of fun and had nice drinks too. The service was great. We were served by Sue and Liam and had a great time. Thank you.

What an experience. I, like most, was a little apprehensive when it was mentioned, but throughly enjoyed. To the point I'm bringing a stag day back with me next saturday

After my first margarita (which was made very well) they then ran out of cocktail ingredients by 7.30. on a Friday night. On a bank holiday weekend. The food is a waste of time. I’ve had bigger complementary snacks at other places. £8.60 for a nacho bowl which is Doritos crisps topped with salsa and some red onion in a bowl the size of a large ramakin. Really?? A platter for 4 people is £42… worth £10 max. Loaded fries… same size portion as McDonalds topped with lumps of meat. Served in a serving bowl. All the bowls had been heated but the food was cold. And the Food took over an hour to come out (why? It’s not technically difficult). We were so hungry we had to go and buy crisps from the Tesco next door while we were waiting and straight after we left we went to McDonald’s. The staff did heavily discount our bill but they had to. The whole thing was a shambles. The cricket concept is good. But don’t eat here. And don’t bank on the drinks menu either.

Great for the cricket. Food is over priced & took an incredibly long time to come out & we even pre ordered.

Apart from being located at the most beautiful spot to watch the sun set over Birmingham, Sixes reimagines the good old game of Cricket for the modern socialite. Plenty of cocktails, plenty of pizza, burgers, fries. Casual drinks after work, a competitive game of cricket with your friends or even a night out out - they got you covered. For me, Sixes, is literally on my doorstep and I shall be back for watching more sunsets and sip all the Aperol Spritz 😁✌🏼

Really good place for food and drinks. Make sure you book the cricket in advance as it was fully booked and no walk in slots were available

Avoid avoid avoid. What an awful place. Under staffed. Awful beer and rubbish food. Not helped when they say they will start you on the nets, but then continue to serve other customers beers above you. Then when we could start, all put on one team rather than individually Then the Internet crashed. So not only was our game paused. They couldn't serve drinks. Nor did they add the time to game as they were fully booked. Food was awful. Cold buns with a cheap burger thrown in it. Salty chips to make you drink. There are better places to have a group do..oh and they add on a service charge for the poor service too

Booked an hour in the nets with the family. There are 5 skill settings but there really isn't anything to worry about. I played on the highest and walloped 75 off 54 balls. I'm no Chris Gayle, so if I can do that, everyone's got a chance! My wife and youngest played on the lowest setting, my eldest alternated between the medium ones. The only downside is that the screen showing the bowler running in is very faded and you can barely make him out. I had read concerning things about the staff in others' reviews which had put me off a bit, but I can honestly say the two ladies who served us were both very polite, friendly, and great at what they do. They set it up and explained properly what to do. Explained the difference in bats in terms of weight, and brought over a pitcher of water and glasses at the start. I like that you get a decent seating area with your net, so you can enjoy a good sit down when it's not your turn. You can order food and drink over. We didn't eat anything so can't comment on the food, just had a few drinks. Kids wanted a milkshake from the menu but it wasn't available. Wasn't a big deal though, they were happy with a soft drink instead. They also have a nice outdoor seating area with a canal view for before or after the nets. The most important thing, we all had a fantastic time and actually want to come back. Maybe we'll try to book 2 hours next time if we can, so I can get that century!

Relaxing outdoor seating area and crazy cricket nets.

Honestly had such a great experience!! The cricket itself was so different and enjoyable but the customer service was impeccable! Went Wed 27 July and the staff there just really made our day! Would definitely recommend!! :)

Great fun with colleagues and foods not bad.

Great morning out. Shame our tablet kept loosing signal but they added extra Time lost back on. Highly recommended!

Saturday July 16 me and three friends went for drinks at about 7pm. The outside terrace was lovely so we thought it would be a great place for a sun downer. I sat outside with three friends and we waited and waited for some service. Eventually after about 20mins I went in to ask if anyone was serving outside ( they were apparently, just not us) there were three girls chatting by bar and when I asked someone did immediately come and take our order. We ordered two large glasses of red and two soft drinks. In fairness the drinks did not then take too long. Unfortunately two out of four were incorrect and because of that the bill was.. I pointed this out, the drinks were rectified but we waited LONG time for the bill to be sorted. Eventually someone came, was unable to deal with it but said they would get someone who would. A very nice girl came and was very apologetic to us and refunded the differrence in the drinks. I thought that was that but something wasn't right, and when I looked AGAIN I found they had STILL left the service charge for an order that wasn't right which I thought was VERY cheeky. ( The fact that anyone charges service charge at ALL for drinks which I had had to chivy them into serving us in the first place and then the audacity of refunding the drinks and NOT the service -( which was nearly four pounds.. between the mistake and the service I would have been nearly £15 out of pocket.. hence the title of the review) - fair blew my mind and I was furious. At this point I went and spoke to, in fairness a really lovely girl at the bar.. (credit where credit is due, she was mortified..and offered us refils, which we did have) who could not have been more apologetic. She seemed to be the only one who had much in the way of gumption. The girl who origninally mistook our order seemed to have no training in wine at all and problems with the hand helds so didn't offer us much in eye contact when taking order. The wine was fine and the terrace was lovely, but please PLEASE train your waiting staff to be au fait with the wines on your list or at least be confident enough to confirm with a guest if they are unsure.. would have saved some unpleasantness. Only upside was the girl ( sadly whose name I didn't get so cannot name check her) who admitted she was "super embarassed and you're totally in the right"..To be honest ANYONE can make a mistake, it happens, i waitressed for years and I am pretty sure I did.. but to leave people for about 20 mins without even asking if they needed anything or if busy saying "guys I have seen you, I won't be long" is pretty rubbish, and what REALLY got us incandescent being asked if we "wanted to keep the white and then order more red" ( err no, that's why we ordered red) and having to chivvy for a refund and when finally done, to find the service charge ( what service at that point?) STILL In place.... Yes we were given two additional free glasses of red which is basic customer service but it was embarassing for me and my friends and dampened a birthday day out..

My score was not as good as it should have been and I blame the sixes bar for serving me alcohol when I should have been warming up and playing good cricket. Haha.

Had a family visit last night for my son’s 21st birthday. Venue has great upstairs position overlooking the canal near The Mailbox. Nice welcome when checking in and everything about how to play explained to us. Had an hours play which was great fun and then some food. All the food was cooked really well very fresh and really tasty. Big thanks to Cory who looked after us so well all evening

Booked for my preteen son’s birthday party and it was a fab experience, enjoyed by even the boys who were footballers. Excellent and professional help via email and then phone by Daniel B who is somewhere in one of the sixes venues, patiently explained things. I spoke to Roxy once and almost cancelled the booking due to feeling I was a burden on her time. Booked two nets for an hour, the very busy Suyoj(sp?) tried his best to multi task. It’s an interactive display in a nets thingie, bats provided. Each player has a separate go. The balls come at the player from a machine and scores are then displayed. Max 10 people in a net though we were 7 each. Sadly the virtual reality thing wasn’t working. The boys had a blast, mums said their sons had a blast, we’re going to be back soon. Thank you

Good place for a beer and a bit of indoor cricket. Also nice seating area outside overlooking the canalside

Great service at a fun venue have booked to come back again

James was amazing, great geeza and helped us out. Brilliant night out if your looking for a fun night with an activity.

Need to try n test ur cricket skills

As someone who had never played cricket before (besides on the Nintendo Wii) it was so much fun once I got the hang of it! The staff were so sweet and the venue has a very chill vibe.

Beautiful, and the live music is also brilliant.

The pub is fine, but I didn't like when they tried to charge me £6 for a pint when the original price was £5. This was not a mistake, and I noticed the bartender made this deliberately.

It an OK Place, just expensive.

We had a great family visit to Sixes. We all loved playing cricket together, the food was delicious and Emily looked after us superbly throughout. We'd definitely recommend.

We had a great experience at Sixes. The cricket is really fun, the food is lovely and the staff are really nice too! It’s my second time visiting and it was just as good as the last. I will definitely return again!
