Good beer well kept. An old pub but the toilets refreshingly modern. Worth having a look

This is one of the best local pubs I've ever been to, especially the lamb tripe is quite delicious. The environment is pleasant, and the service is quite warm and welcoming.

Great local pub that has been around for generations and continues to be an awesome place. Food is great, Sunday roast is amazing, lots of options for sharing, the staff are super friendly and helpful. Lots of area at the back for big and small groups, definitely recommended for a few pints!

Went for Sunday lunch, was really looking forward to it, we both thought that the roast beef was awful, beef had no taste and a lot of fat running through it and only got 2 small slices. Roast patatos were burnt and parsnips and carrots chopped up very small as if it was for a child. And you only got one very thin slice of broccoli. For £16 it was awful. Will not go again, very disappointed.

Great little pub hidden away in Harborne. I love the location of the Bell as the road it is nestled on feels like you're in a quaint English village rather than in the suburbs of the country's second city. Good food at a reasonable price. Decent selection of beers. Great outdoor seating for warmer months, and cosy indoor space for the colder ones.

This has a quaint country pub vibe with Harborne wrapped round it; I believe it is old coaching inn so a little cramped and dark inside in places, but it has a great south facing outside area overlooking the bowling green. The menu is quite big, the food was good pub grub with some dishes on the gastro-pub end of the spectrum with friendly service. Would certainly return.

Visited today whilst in the area visiting family (3 adults & 2 children). Easily reserved a table online in advance. Arrived and found space to park directly outside the pub. We were early but received a warm welcome & were shown to our table. Ordered food & drink at the bar and service was very quick & staff were friendly and helpful. 4 of us had the sunday roast dinners & one kids meal. Portion sizes were great and the food was delicious. Ordered desserts and again quick service & tasted amazing. We were really impressed and will definitely visit again when we're in Birmingham next.

Lovely setting and a very cute traditional pub. Unfortunately the service let us down, as a group of 4 ordering separately we expected our food to come out at different times but not 25 mins apart..one meal seemingly had been totally forgotten about. £15 for a burger that was missing ingredients and presented in a half hearted way left us feeling underwhelmed. The Sunday roasts were home cooked and good value. Sadly we’re not eager to return, which is a shame as initially we had high hopes.

This used to be one of my favorite pubs in Harborne and I was really looking forward to bringing my dog (especially as they heavily promote on their website that they are dog friendly-they even advertise a paw star martini)! Imagine my disappointment when I go to book for a few weeks time and they tell me there are no dog friendly tables available! I couldn’t even book outside (when I’ve seen lots of tables reserved outside before). Luckily the junction really is dog friendly and I will be going there with my dog in the future.

I am new to the area and the bell was recommended to me as it's a short walk from where I live and was told it's a friendly family pub. To.cut a long story short I went for lunch with a friend, Wednesday I think it was and there was a lady and young gentleman behind the bar. The lady who had blonde hair was serving and as doing so she was talking to the young man who had dark hair and a beard and was bad mouthing her chef...she was  f***ing and blinding about him which I found her behaviour as unprofessional and appalling.  She was quite loud and vocal. I have children and I wouldn't want to take them into that pub with staff like that. Lovely pub but ruined by this staff member. She’s either the the owner or thinks she’s the owner either way disgusted and not nice to hear

My local and I use it often for food and drink, and usually pretty good, but 2nd May they let us down. The ‘Signature Salad’ was missing the quinoa and sugar snap peas and had very little of the other listed ingredients. Took it back, and it was better second time round but then was missing the lemon & olive dressing. The gammon & egg had no egg(!). We queried and told they’d run out of eggs. No real apology; no compensation. There were a couple of other issues too, but I’ll end my winge now. Know it’s a difficult trade, but you either do it properly or us customers go elsewhere.

A lovely, small and snug little pub! It needs a little more tlc inside but still liked the cosy feel and the glorious outdoor eating areas. I chose the 8oz rump steak and chunky chips with Stilton and peppercorn sauce. I’d go as far as saying it was one of the best steaks Ive ever eaten! It was cooked to perfection and so tender - truly delicious. The portion size was just right, I still managed to save room for afters. I chose Eaton Mess. It was ok. There was one circular piece of meringue, loads of cream, scoop of ice cream and disappointingly one strawberry sliced up. It did need to have a better balance to it. Not enough meringue or strawberry. My sister had the hunters chicken and passion fruit and Mango cheesecake, both looked lovely and were well received. Overall, it is a lovely little cosy haven with a tiny bar but didn’t have to wait long and food, especially the steak was delicious.

My uncle glen asked me to post this review for him, he was adamant. I visited the bell on Saturday night, and I admit that at first I felt a bit intimidated. I don't go out much admittedly, but I decided I would go for a drink or two. I was served by a young lady named Amy and she helped make my trip an enjoyable one. I am Autistic and usually get overwhelmed. When I needed to step out for some air, I was surprised that upon returning inside, Amy checked to see if I was alright, before getting me a glass of water. If like to thank her for her attentiveness that night and for helping an old man feel like he could still go out.
