The Dark Horse in Birmingham

Great gig venue upstairs. Staff really friendly and helpful. Nice atmosphere and there's always been loo roll in the ladies when I've visited.

Wide range of keg lager, ales and sours on the go. Choice of beer varies a lot, and happily they had multiple sours and multiple stouts on the go. Friendly, welcoming and kid friendly during the day

It is a really good, cozy and friendly place. Stage upstairs not that big but sound beautiful when you play. Sadly they don't have sheet stand 😅 but the staff are kind, smiling and sound guy was amazing. Only thing was bad about that me botching on the stage 😬

Nice cafe. Decaf Coffee was a bit bitter for my taste, but atmosphere was fine and staff were nice.

Great pub with great selection of beers.

Great pub fun by chance, good selection of beers and wines upstairs in this night (sat). A band seemed to be a very popular pub

Cracking pub , great selection of guest beers, a take away at the back of the pub selling amazing looking bahn mi and a gig venue upstairs, Very recommended.

Just went for dinner, system for dealing for social distancing was great, food was excellent would recommend

Really great drinks selection and great price delicious cocktails. Food looked amazing

Live music upstairs. Great pub friendly good food and service. Paid parking across the road if you drive there

This is a great pub with a lively atmosphere and a great selection of IPA beers. I recommend the Glass House. Great seating outside in the summer.

great tho the chips were a bit expensive for the portion but tasted great and had good deals for the wednesday wings.

Good food overall. Sunday dinners were okay, could do with a bit more on the plate. But overall good quality.

Love the cauliflower wings. Food generally awesome.

Good food, shame it's not a smoke house and grill any more, but the food is good, and reasonably priced.

The Sunday roast was the best I've had in a very long time. The cauliflower cheese with miso is an absolute must! All the staff were great! Friendly and helpful, especially when helping to choose a beer....so many choices!! I was pleased with the recommendation though. It is already on my list of places to go again when I'm next in Brum....I can't wait!!

I can't believe I haven't been here before. Proper old school pub with a lovely vibe excellent service and great beer & food. They do loads of craft beers and even serve tasting trays of 3 1/3 pints so you could try a variety of beers instead of getting a pint each. Only had the wings but they were cheap (wings Wednesday) and banging. Love them and will come back sometime this week to have more of their offerings

The food here is banging (Brum Mi....do great Asian food and fab Sunday roasts), loads of interesting beers, decent wine, great atmosphere and the staff are always v friendly. Favourite pub in Moseley by a mile.

Solid selection of craft beer on tap.

Good food, good drinks, good service 👍 will come back

Great service, drinks, and food.

I've always loved this place, and it was great to be back there on Saturday as it had been a while. Still a great atmosphere, and great drinks selection, and we were looking forward to having some great food, but that's where it stopped being great. The Banh Mi sandwich was distinctly average, and the pate which i thought would take it next level, was non-existent. But if this review saves one person the savage disappointment of ordering what gets classed as coleslaw here, then it's worth it. It was actually inedible. Just dry, bitter salad with zero dressing (advertised as a sweet sesame dressing on the website, but none to be found) The fries though; they were SO good! Still one of favourite places in Moseley though 👍

Excellent pub, with a huge array of beers that constantly change. One of the best in Birmingham

Food gave me severe food poisoning and the blonde hair girl who works their is a disgusting human being do not recommend coming here

It's an excellent pub. Bruce the head chef is a sound guy.The staff are friendly and polite but it's not a sports bar so don't go there thinking you can watch Wolverhampton play Arsenal on sky TV

Came here for a private reception. Staff serving at the bar were really very friendly. Wish the space had been a bit bigger - the venue is quite dark .... I guess that's the name for it. It's not my thing. Hated the music they put on after we left -- basically music that says "take drugs" - that's what some people like, its not my crowd

Went up there for a good time, and had a great time. Met a few new people is this warm and friendly pub. There is also a room upstairs, they play music loud, it's alrite just pretty crammed and tight sometimes. Hit and miss with the upstairs, but the vibe is good here. I like it

Want to see a band? Maybe a DJ night? Have some food? Or an interesting drink? Dark horse can probably cover that. If your driving there is a coin operated pay and display right opposite

Sunday I met up with some old friends and I convinced them to see what the Dark Horse had to offer food wise. I had seen some really good reviews in th past for Brúm Mì and really wanted to try it. We were told they weren't taking walking for Sunday lunch, just the normal menu, however after speaking to Charlie, at the food counter he said he could manage to do me one. I have an onion intolerance and therefor went with the corn fed chicken supreme. I am so glad I convince everyone to come as the chicken was beautifully cooked and full of rich flavour. The dinner came with veg roast carrot and potatoes and a gorgeous freshly made Yorkshire pudding, which was the best I'd tasted in a long time! Infact this was the best roast dinner I'd outside of my own kitchen for a very long time. I have been a chef for many years and am extremely hard to please. Beautiful! Ate the lot. My friends had the normal menu and everyone agreed the food was delicious.I found the price very reasonable and pretty cheap vomited.to other Sunday lunches on offer in the area and definitely superior. Well done guys! Thankyou so much. Highly recommended, book ya table for dinner! Not to be missed.

An excellent Sunday lunch on St Patrick's Day. Guinness to drink and roast beef to eat. Everything was very good. Well worth a visit.

Attended for swing era social dance, great venue and fantastic food! A touch pricey, however

Last minute Sunday roast booking, exceptional from start to finish. Couldn’t fault the service; Jim and team were really attentive, welcoming and down to earth. Food was unreal - flavoursome, fresh and tender - best roast we have had for sure!

Great mother's day Sunday lunch. Food was hot, delicious and good size portions. Pork in particular was great, with crispy crackling all the way round. Service also worth a mention, so friendly and attentive, thanks for a lovely meal

Great Sunday lunch and service.

Great place for a live gig , drinks are pricey but where isn’t these days Would recommend

Had THE best burger I've ever eaten! When we visited, it was a two for one offer, great value. Always enjoy visiting the Dark Horse, always a great vibe, and friendly staff.

Fantastic staff. Best bar in Moseley

Superb, always good, great staff, good lagers, great music, lucky to have it!

Wing Wednesday is amazing, 50p a wing and the are delicious 😋

Had a roast here from Brum Mi on Sunday 👌 it was lovely, thank you.

Went to the Dark Horse on New Year Eve. The free access reggae night was actually lit. The hypeman was on bars. Drinks in the corner for people who want to grab some. The open floor made it a total club experience, you just had to dance. There was a sofa in a corner if you need to catch your breath or get on your phone for a bit. Stayed for a few hours. Definitely a worthy crossover experience.

An old favourite but really like the ambience now, not so busy when we were there which was great for fast service with a smile. Menu looks good though untried. Worth a visit.

Lovely pub and cozy Great pints and amazing cocktails

Week days in winter not serving food until after 5pm despite being open from around lunch time with staff present the in kitchen. If you want something other than just drinks come after 5m

Made this place a staple drinking place the last year and a bit, plenty of craft to choose from. Staff always happy to give you a sample before you buy. Door staff always welcoming and a friendly good bye. For a mostly craft beer pub the Guinness is great too. Best pub in the area hands down.

Excellent and friendly service on the Sunday afternoon that we attended. Great beer selection.

This was a lovely place to relax and eat in food was amazing

Great selection of beer and a fantastic menu if you're into barbecue. Food has been excellent in every visit - I highly recommend the burnt ends!

Fantastic venue for an intimate gig. Great ambience and unparalleled drinks selection. Even had a good selection of craft beer on tap.

Love the food here, the service is amazing and staff are super friendly! It has such a nice environment, and it has a very homely and relaxing vibe

Upstairs venue is where the real soul of this place is, the upstairs staff are lush and the promotors who put gigs on are fantastic and go above and beyond. It's a shame the money is spent downstairs on things like posh sinks when the upstairs female toilets don't lock. If you visit here, support the upstairs venue and not the money grabbing fat cats downstairs.

The best Sunday roast I’ve ever had in a pub or restaurant! Fantastic service and a great selection of craft ales.

Such a delicious roast here. Exceeded expectation...so yummy and staff so warm and hospitable. Kept our baby so entertained x

One of the best pubs in Moseley wrt food and range of beers. Very friendly staff.

Fantastic bar and grill type pub! I recommend the Banh Mi BBQ chicken sandwich with seasonal fries, it’s a tasty Vietnamese sandwich, burns your mouth off but it’s so tasty! Great selection of craft beers on tap too for the beer enthusiasts, and great friendly service.

Hmmmm, pretentious random beer selection (not the staff’s fault, they were great) and door staff that smoke more than the punters. Better than it used to be but still a bit circumspect

Did not eat here but the drinks are plentiful and delicious. Great selection of drinks and staff always friendly

Always came here for evening gig, music and for drinks and I've always liked the atmosphere and the people working here! Sunday we tried Brum mi Sunday roast and it was so tasty! Just what I wanted 😍 thanks guys for the amazing food and the stunning service! 5 stars ⭐️

If you are looking for a place that personifies the vibes of Moseley this is the place to be. Cool Music, cool people it's a little gem in the heart of the village

Decent setting and crowd - good vibe. But, with like most pubs and bars across the land, toilets were a mess.

Second visit... Had the chicken burgers, wings and fries. As well as some craft beers, of which there is a good selection .Good flavoured chicken burger, crispy flavoured wings and skin on fries. All well cooked and will visit again.

Great place to come to not only for a drink but also for bottomless brunch. This is my go to place any time I’m in Moseley! Always new beers to try and lovely staff!

It's good to be able to sit outside and play guitar, but otherwise there doesn't seem to be a vibe here anymore. The beer was nice, but very expensive and the bar person who served me either didn't know anything about the beers, or didn't want to engage with me (it was early and not busy). So it's impossible to know what you're ordering and the place is in disrepair now and sticky. The toilet seat was hanging off too. I guess its a restaurant now, but it's difficult to imagine eating somewhere when the bar isn't clean. It used to be amazing, now it's just tired and dilapidated...

Great burger 2 for 1 Thursdays with changes made for allergies. No beef burgers though but lots of stuff I'd come back and try. Good atmosphere.

We had only drinks but the entire bar staff was excellent and the Manager was so helpful.The best place to enjoy the night .

Absolutely love this place! Fabulous beer, great food and brilliant service. Similar vibe to Donovan's in Queens - in fact one of the bar staff in the DH reminds me of a guy that served me last time I was in New York. Like Donovan's, arrive as a stranger leave as a friend......

The Dark Horse is a busy, bustling bar which unlike many bars in Moseley attracts a very wide demographic; there's what's surely one of the best rotating craft beer lineups in the country alongside wine, a big selection of spirits and cocktails. The staff are really friendly, too. Young, old and in-between: everyone gets treated like a regular. It's always busy at the minute; last night every bar in Moseley was deserted, meanwhile here every single table is taken with large crowds listening to live music upstairs and chatting on the terrace. Felt like a Friday night back in the Moseley '17 heyday - on a Wednesday night! Apparently there's lots on in the upstairs but didn't want to bother the staff when it was this busy, though think there was a calendar by the door? The food is courtesy of the class Brúm Mì who make Vietnamese and East Asian influenced street food. The burgers and bowls are great, but their signature bánh mìs are phenomenal and are well worth trying. A fantastic bar that's well worth visiting.

Quite expensive place, £10 to get to see a band in a pokey little upstairs room, not great!

Wouldn't honour the cocktail deal advertised because they'd forgotten to remove it, poor attitude from the arrogant management and staff.

Just had a try at the summer sunday menu the bbq steak with tenderstem brocoli with a side of crispy baby potatoes was amazing 10/10 and got a pork belly bahmi to take away yes im a phat phook but it is also 10/10 as sandwich goes probably the best I have eaten

Love everything about this place.

Very loud! But good selection of drinks. Can't comment on food as didn't have any.

Fabulous selection of craft beers, only popped in for a swift one, but will be back very soon!

Went to see a gig here, had a couple of drinks on the seating outside. Thoroughly pleasant

Lovely place but drink options are limited and not so quality ones

Good gig there. The Guns N’ Roses Experience UK wanna thank you guys!! Cheers!

Great atmosphere lovely bar and staff Great for comedy night on a Tuesday

The wings flavour was good but they came out luke warm nearly cold.

Good reggae night even with bad weather.

I tried the Brum mi pork belly bahn me and seasoned fries, it was incredible! Especially the fries, perfectly seasoned and crispy.

Great real and craft ale pub. Allows dogs.

Great pub, selling tasty craft beers downstairs and a lively dancefloor upstairs, with often free or cheap nights. Went to a great garage/jungle night for free and still buzzing from it!!

Chicken burger was incredible. I don't say that lightly

Great food and great service. I'm sure the atmosphere would have been great of other people had been there

Been on my radar to try Brum mi since their A-board appeared on the pavement. Haven’t been inside /reviewed here since pre-Covid. Atmosphere hasn’t changed a whole lot, service was good. The toilet is so pretty…photo-worthy! Food was tasty but the rice bowl was not very generous (-1*) and didn’t stay hot for very long as the place felt cold (-1*) like the heating was off. Do recommend trying, but maybe in the summer when temps are warmer and hopefully they’re still operating then.

Went there to try out Brum Mi and the food was very tasty. Loved the hearty portion size and the high quality ingredients. Both the pork and the beef were succulent and even the pickled veggies were nom. We were also pleasantly surprised by the cauliflower bites coated in a sticky sweet sauce. As a die hard salt and pepper tofu lover, these cauliflower bites would give the beloved tofu a run for its money. The staff were super friendly and attentive. The only downside was that we were driving so couldn’t sample the broad selection of beer there. We definitely would be returning and look forward to having a couple of pints alongside.

Cool and trendy Moseley pub with dear drinks and hip clientele. Poker on Sunday 7:30

Was down from Scotland for a gig. Great selection of beers. Food was very good and staff were all very friendly.

Great choice of craft beers, good atmosphere

Great pub with a massive selection of beer! Also went on a Wednesday for there wing night and they were lovely. 50p a wing on Wednesdays. Defo would reccomend

Great drinks and service from the team.

Good service, and some of the best food you'll find at a pub

Great pub this is, it never fails to provide a good atmosphere. I'm obsessed with the womens loo hehe .. beautiful

Went to see a friends gig. Absolutely amazing venue. We all had an amazing time. Staff tending the bar upstairs did a stellar job. Can't wait to go back

Went here for bottomless brunch it was fantastic. Food lovely drinks great and the service by Daisy was brilliant. Thanks for making birthday so special

Moseley has a fair number of good eateries but we'd never tried the Dark Horse before but decided to give it a try for Sunday lunch. By the way, a great range of beers and my Vietnamese style pale ale 'Brum Mi' was just the ticket. We went for just the mains and although I'm normally against plated Sunday dinners this proved an exception. Succulent pork with subtle oriental flavours, charred vegetables , a giant yorkie and crispy roasties were spot on with an ample extra side order of Vietnamese style cauliflower cheese. The only fault was perhaps the gravy could have been thicker but an excellent meal all told. Service at both the bar and the table was very friendly and efficient.

Used to be great for food. Now its a hole

Always welcoming, good food, great staff, excellent beer choice.

Sunday roast (vegetarian) I must say that this vegetarian Sunday roast was one of the best ones I’ve ever had, and I had many. Portions are more than enough. Flavours are amazing and work very well together. Roast potatoes were perfect and cooked so well. Staff were very nice and helpful as well. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent choice of beers. Deep Fried Comedy club was excellent. Staff are lovely, overall a great vibe. Felt very clean in there too.
