The Dragon Inn in Birmingham

It is amazing! Good prices, nice staff!! I had a great cider, great chat. We came from London and the prices here are a bargain.

Called into this spoons before going to eat in the Chinese district. This spoons is maybe the best one I've visited. A nice outside seating area, the inside space just keeps on going and going, the lady who pulled the perfect pint was really friendly, helpful and kind. The beer was great with a great head which hung to side's all the way down to the bottom of the glass, it was a good session ale. So would I go back? definitely a Yes.

Please, all staff and security of all pubs in the uk, know the laws of asking for age consent. My daughter @21 was refused entry all because she wasn't carrying id. The law now has changed and now states that I'd can be produced by electronic means. I.E your phone. Knows the laws ....

Probably one of the poorer weatherspoons not nice always feels grubby staff are surly and not at all friendly. Feels on the rougher side of establishments would not recommend. If you want a weatherspoons take the short walk to Grand Central...

Cold ,poor quality food . Bar staff very good but waitress was rude

Nice rockers bar. Comfortable and clean.

Probably my favourite spoons in Birmingham. I've visited quite a few times and the staff are always friendly and helpful. Food and drinks are served pretty promptly even during busy periods

Very very busy night. Staff were run off their feet but lovely. Saying that food took a while to get to us. That's OK, again busy night. But... Mela was cold so was probably cooked and left to pick up. Disabled toilets were blocked full with toilet paper. Although it was a busy pub the chart said they hadn't been checked since 9am. It was 8pm. As usual spoons leave disabled toilet door open for all while radar key holders have to see this sort of thing. Although this pub they are downstairs. Update Feb 2025: Food, service and disabled toilets were excellent. Totally different experience!

Love this place, have been in Birmingham quite a lot recently and always visit here. The staff, food and service are always really good.

Standard looking wetherspoons in the center of the Chinese quarter in Birmingham

Great place to hangout with a group. The staff here are lovely and were very kind, and helpfu.

Cheap..cheerful friendly spoons pub in the heart of southside(chinatown/gay village)...quick service...wheelchair access...outdoor seating with some cover...10 min from new st station...1 min from taxi ramp and 2 minute from bus stops....in amongst great chinese..japanese and korean eateries... 1 min from the hippdrome next door to missing bar which is always a great night

uno de los mejores pubs de Brum bien administrado y con personal no se preocupe buena bebida asequible buen personal nunca tuvo ningún problema allí aparte de mendigos ocasionales y gente tratando de vender cosas pero se obtiene que en todos los pubs siempre contento con la comida y los precios siempre llega caliente y el personal rápido siempre parecen ser amables y serviciales, el pub siempre está limpio y ordenado y los baños siempre están muy limpios y siempre un montón de papel de ciénaga que siempre recibe un gran 👍 de mí no hay nada peor no creo que entonces no tener papel higiénico cuando has terminado, tan bien hecho a todos los Witherspoon'pubs y Tim Martin en ese sentido por lo que un gran saludo va a él de mi parte 👍👍👍👍👍👍, y es una de las principales razones por las que me gusta usar los pubs de cuchara, la señora con el pelo rubio creo que su nombre es kat, Kathy Katie ? Creo que es un excelente miembro del personal siempre feliz y trabajador y muy servicial como todo el personal, y siempre nos trae una sonrisa a la cara. Cuando se dirige a casa, ocasionalmente me la imagino haciendo volteretas y ruedas de carro con una sola mano mientras se dirige a casa, y también me gusta a veces imaginarla en su alegre camino al trabajo bailando claqué, cantando bajo la lluvia salpicando en los charcos, mientras reparte flores a extraños que pasan de su propia cesta tejida. Siempre es una gran experiencia cuando voy al Dragón y un buen día fuera, no puedo esperar a shimmy por la tubería de drenaje y visitar al dragón de nuevo pronto y estoy a diez vuelos para arriba, UNO DE LOS MEJORES PUBS EN BRUM DE LEJOS, espero que la matrona no me pille la próxima vez subiendo por la tubería de drenaje, siempre es difícil maniobrar alrededor del alambre de púas . y por la pintura resbaladiza. ¡Es aún más difícil volver a subir! Puede tomar hasta una semana, subir deslizarse hacia abajo subir deslizarse hacia abajo, 👍🤠😁😁😆😉🤣

Very popular on a busy Saturday with two football matches on. Lucky to bag a seat. Used app and food and drink arrived in good time.

Afortunadamente, estaba tan ocupado. Utilizó la aplicación para ordenar. El servicio es bueno y el ambiente está bien teniendo en cuenta que había una mezcla de diferentes aficionados al fútbol aquí. Buena comida. Salud

Excellent food, friendly staff & customers

Brilliant day here , with the celtic supporters

Went for food and drinks before and after a gig at the o2 academy. Food and drink prices were very reasonable which helped when it was a Monday because of the special deals. Didn't take too long for service we used the app for food and the bar for drinks. Area was clean and toilets were not a mile a way for a witherspoon.

All in all a pretty good Spoons

Absolutely lovely, lovely food, lovely staff

Had a lovely eggs benedict in here. You can't go wrong for the price and there was plenty of ham on the muffin too

Amazing place and amazing staff and food

We went when it was very busy. All the tables were near enough full. We ordered on the app and the drinks came out in the sort of time I'd expect on a busy night. The drinks and food were the same quality as other Wetherspoons. The staff were ok. I loved the name of the pub and it's very fitting with it being in the Chinese Quarter. I didn't like how so many tables were crammed into the pub. It didn't leave much space for anyone who needs more room, like someone in a wheelchair. It felt very claustrophobic. We'd go again, perhaps, if we were visiting the Hippodrome first and were slightly early. An acceptable pub, but nothing special.

The worst food I’ve ever tasted. Food tasted like a cheap frozen meal with a higher price tag. Food was hard. Ordered breaded chicken with my katsu curry and ended up with plain chicken with a cheap curry sauce that tasted nothing like curry. No one on the bar to order apart from one person and toilets do not flush. The place overall was quite unclean. Would not go here again.

JD is like any other, food without finesse, served quickly and cleanly,

The person serving us had the most unhappy face. The food was mediocre at best. And the drink I had contained 10 ice cubes. An absolute joke. Almost 4 ice cubes is acceptable but 10 is ridiculous and a rip off.

Servido por la mujer joven parecía alrededor de 20. Con cabello oscuro verde cordón. Muy educado y profesional mientras que también es altamente eficiente. menos de 20 segundos de tiempo de espera. Pero hasta ahí llega. Cuando salió la comida el joven con tatuajes y la cabeza rapada nunca sonrió. Vino a la mesa. Y nos quedamos ahí sin hablar, así que tuvimos que ayudarlo. Entonces dijo que el extra saldrá enseguida... Tardó 6 minutos más. El KMS solo tenía 4 mesas en pantalla con solo 2 de ellas con 3 platos y las otras con uno. Tenían la caja morada puesta entonces indicando listo para hacerlo y tardaron 17 minutos en llegar a la mesa. Después de esto no sé si es la política del pub o de la empresa el tocino listo para comer estaba frío como piedra y arruinó la hamburguesa. Después de esto, no se realizó ninguna verificación de nuevo en la tabla, pero de hecho se eliminó de la pantalla de KMS. El hombre tatuado tampoco llevaba su auricular, sino que estaba alrededor de su cuello. Esto falla de más de una manera que el servicio rápido

Mientras espero en una cola, me opongo a que me pregunten qué quiero y luego me dejo durante cinco minutos mientras se sirve a otros. Esto se debió a la incompetencia. Un caballero trajo de vuelta una cerveza que estaba tan turbia que pensaste que habías lavado tus platos. Esto sucede para que esto no sea una queja contra el lugar. ¿Qué es, es el debate de tres miembros del personal sobre lo que estaba mal con la cerveza! Si las cucharas deben vender cerveza de verdad, ¡por favor, consiga el personal competente para servirla! ¡No necesita tres en el momento más ocupado del día! Finalmente tomé mi pinta, la bebí y me fui a otra parte. Sugiero que hagas lo mismo.

Very good pub opposite the theatre 🎥 in Birmingham City centre

Khaleese (I probably spelt it wrong) was lovely, really enjoyed my time <3

Nice quiet wetherspoons, apart from when there's shows at the Alexandre theatre

Ordered a large breakfast, should be including 2 slice of toast and 2 fired eggs, outcome is 2 half-cut toast and 1 mixed-egg

had a drink w multiple members of staff big ups 💪💪

Refused for being drunk despite being completely sober.

Fantastic food and drinks what more could you ask for

Todo mi grupo simplemente se “negó” a que yo estuviera “demasiado borracho”, a pesar de que todos fuimos servidos independientemente de mi “estado”. Todos fuimos servidos a pesar de todo, así que no entiendo por qué me negaron? ¡Soy una mujer adulta que ni siquiera está borracha! Lugar rancio para beber al que no volveremos.

Weekend in Birmingham so had to visit the Chinese quarters and of course wetherspoons. The food was nice, the staff was very friendly and there was a great atmosphere.

Nice place, absolutely packed lol only due to the Blues playing at home which caused a delay in getting served, but once the rush died down was all good. Would visit again.

Ordered food via the app - it made an error and the wrong drinks were placed - I’m not comfortable having to argue for what I know is right - and the manager refused to even come to the table / avoid!

Been using this Spoons for many years, a very busy and popular spoons. Food good.

Fairly large Weatherspoons with an outdoor seating area, some of which is covered. Good if staying in the area and a few minutes walk from the Bullring shopping centre. Would recommend.

The gent (roy) serving behind the bar was very rude ,glad my staff have better manners

Nice location in Chinatown and the gay village

It's a Wetherspoons, you know what to expect, except no miriad of stairs to reach the loo 👍

Went for breakfast, my beans and bacon were cold, toast looked like the bread was straight from the bag. Lady behind the till, very nice, took it away and asked for another. Another staff member brought out another saying be careful plate is hot. Definitely wasn't, again same issue, cold food. Again lady behind the bar was lovely, she spoke to who I can only assume was the manager was Definitely not. She was rude, unprofessional, lacked customer service. Especially saying a customer has attitude Muttering under her breath but didn't approach me personally, just shouted across the pub. When the 3rd meal came out she then said to the staff check it's hot this time in a very rude and aggressive manner. The lady looked mortified I feel sorry for people having to work under someone who has no respect for customers or staff.

Hace un minuto Nuevo Fui a desayunar, mis frijoles y tocino estaban fríos, las tostadas parecían sacadas directamente de la bolsa. Señora detrás de la caja, muy agradable, se lo llevó y pidió otro. Otro miembro del personal sacó otro diciendo que ten cuidado con el plato caliente. Definitivamente no fue, de nuevo el mismo tema, comida fría. Una vez más, la señora detrás de la barra era encantadora, habló con quien solo puedo suponer que el gerente definitivamente no lo era. Era grosera, poco profesional, carecía de servicio al cliente. Especialmente diciendo que una clienta tiene actitud murmurando bajo su aliento pero no se me acercó personalmente, solo gritó al otro lado del pub. Cuando salió la tercera comida, ella dijo al personal que esta vez hace calor de una manera muy grosera y agresiva. La señora parecía mortificada. Me da pena que la gente tenga que trabajar a las órdenes de alguien que no respeta a los clientes ni al personal.

Lacked the atmosphere here but good and service was good at breakfast time no complaints at all

Good Wetherspoons, but a bit dirty.

Open early for cheap breaky, same as any other wetherspoons, filled a whole. Lucky got there a bit later at half7, didn't open till 8am even tho online it says 6am. Staff were really nice. Only thing was 2 mushrooms like cardboard, burnt and rock hard, not sure but I think they were from either day before or out the bin as we were first in the pub (did not eat) . I wouldn't have minded waiting for fresh ones.

Food and service was good. Coffee machine was putting out some poor drinks which spoilt it

We went for breakfast. Staff is lovely and helpful.

Ay bin in here for a bit but nothin to complain about!

Glad I haven't ordered from here tonight. I tasted a slice of pizza and thought it was pretty dia.

Staff rude, ordered a bag of nuts with my pint.. the way they were dropped on the counter, may as well have just chucked the packet on the floor, and said fetch.. as usual at Wetherspoons, lacking the friendly touch.. seem to think the customer is an inconvenience. Never a sorry to keep you waiting. Could and should try harder. Subsequent visits, the service has improved. I will continue to review over time.

Been in here loads of times and every time was fine, but the other day let it down unfortunately 😞 Stood at empty bar with a male manager and a female member of staff talking at other end, but knew I was there, maybe 2 minutes. He came over, I said hello to him no response. Asked for the ale I wanted, said ‘card’ before even getting a glass to pour the ale I want to pay for (considering how often ales can run out) And then didn’t interact once with me, like it was hassle me being there, was talking to the next guy, a local, already, before finishing pouring my drink. I don’t ask for much, but a little ‘cheers mate’ or ‘enjoy your pint’ doesn’t cost anything eh 🙄 If was busy I can understand but there was about ten people in there. On the same day had been in a spoons in Liverpool and the difference in service is night and day honestly, and sadly because I like this pub 😞

A rare place where you have good value for money

It’s a Wetherspoons, you get what you pay for. Cheap, low quality ingredients and inflated prices.

I had a clear veggie soup with noodles. New on menu. It was delicious but warm, not hot. When asked, though, it was taken away and came back piping hot, fairly quickly. Loved the busy-ness of the place and staff were pleasant, seemed efficient but not fussy or intrusive

Me and my friend orderd a drink at the bar and met yazmin great customer service and spilling the pints to a point thank you for the service i will recommend drinking here x

Bad attitude on the women assistant manager bad language under staffed on a busy remembrance day her bad planning she should not be a manager

Atmosphere was rubbish, Maybe because it was middle of week. Service was okay. Food was not that good

Great atmosphere. Busy mid week. Nice staff. Will definitely be back

Your usual Weatherspoons, what do you expect?

Visited here recently and was disgusted to be told that they wouldn't accept my Bank of Scotland notes. Avoid!

Went there today for Disney's Aladdin pre-show lunch and drinks food was awful sister had fried buttermilk chicken burger what came with about 10 chips so not worth £8.88 with a soft drink no ham for the ham egg and chips so i had to have sausage chips and beans what also came with only 10 chips so also not worth £8.91 with a soft drink 😖😕 I know its weatherspoons but it was so bad l can't believe

WOW! Best service I've ever had. Rory absolutely killed it at the bar. Saw him serve 16 beers while giving CPR to an elderly man. The man survived and immediately ordered a Stella which of course arrived promptly. Absolute legend

Queued at the bar for 18 minutes waiting for a drink on a Monday evening, only for them to get an order of Vodka Coke wrong.

Somehow we've missed the Dragon Inn during our many, many stays in Birmingham city centre. The Dragon seems a little calmer and less crowded than some of the other local Wetherspoons. We visited on 3 separate occasions during our weekend and we're able to get a seat on each occasion. In addition, prices were also slightly better than the other nearby ones. It's really really close to the Hippodrome so great for pre or post theatre drinks or a bite to eat. In addition it's also surrounded by great restaurants. Service was a little slower but there were lots or cocktail pitchers being made each time we were at the bar, so it's understandable and certainly not long waits. We'll certainly be returning, a great little find even if it took us many many years to find it.

Only popped in for a drink before show at the hippodrome pleasant friendly staff quick service and the food they were bringing out looked nice

This was a fantastic pub for drinking, located not far from the nightlife district of Birmingham! The style is really nice of the glassless window like structures between certain seats and the architecture on the ceiling, area has a nice bright feel too. Counter is well-presented and the outdoor seating is solid even in the rain, where I had a pint of Stowford Press!

Food small portion fir big price

Brilliant food Friendly staff. Big shout to kitchen staff. A well kept pint

Ordering via app, everything is easy. However, the food is at a typically English level

Oh my goodness. Where do I even begin…

Average food served quickly and cheaply, and a surprisingly decent beer selection (we were drinking Punk IPA and Shipyard).

Nice atmosphere, food was beautiful and really fast service. All staff were lovely. Tables are too close though no privacy. But otherwise all good.

Tucked away in the Chinatown area of Birmingham. Pleasantly clean and tidy with ample covered seating outside.

Se negó a aceptar billetes escoceses. Mi primo tuvo que pagar por nosotros todo el tiempo. Nunca un problema en ningún otro lugar. No regresaré.

Very busy pub with a beer of the day, which quickly sold out. The food wait was longer than expected. Toilets could be cleaner.

Toilets are a bit rough. Theyre not really clean and dont flush too well. Gets very busy. The people were lovely and helpful. But a nice atmosphere here.

Yo y algunos amigos fuimos a desayunar después de un fin de semana en Birmingham y nos atendió una encantadora joven llamada Natalie y fue un soplo de aire fresco ver a un miembro del personal tan servicial feliz que honestamente no podía hacer lo suficiente. Nada era demasiado problema. Sin duda volveremos de nuevo debido al increíble servicio al cliente que proporcionó gracias Natalie 😁

Terrible. Cold pub with atrocious service.

Abbie lovely service reason I would come back

Abbie was lovely, so friendly and attentive to us, amazing customer service!

Abby was Lovely and really sweet :)

Very slow service a few drinks took 45 minutes to arrive loads of fights aswell

A good place to start a night out in Birmingham.

Dont go in this place often as i do not live in Birmingham. Always go here when going to the Hippodrome.great place and food is always good and hot

One again very impressed 👍🏻 well done team Spoons 👍🏻

Got served by George, he was very kind and respectful

Just had drinks, wasnt too busy considering it was a Friday night. Love how it’s full of different people.

I visited at 10:00. It was very busy so food took ages to arrive but it was fresh. Kel's Ale was a nice promotion where one ale is £1 99. Like all Birmingham Wetherspoon pubs it's not the cheapest.

Very romantic, had many dates here ;)

Very busy at this time but the team are trying their hardest and still delivering hot food and good drinks!, Phil was absolutely stellar and sorted us out with a big smile and great customer service, thankyou so much, major appreciates from a very hungry customer haha! X

Entré 4 veces en el día era agradable y tranquilo y por la noche animado, agradable sentarse fuera tomar una cerveza y ver el mundo caminar

Great pub, cheap beer, great atmosphere and well worth a visit.

Came here for brunch and some drinks over a few trips, generally nice spot in the city in the day and at night. Service was quick and efficient. Nice atmospherr at night.

Like all weather spoons so busy so much chatter groups of all sorts, also active security.

Went lunchtime hours. Quick service, however we had 3 different meals, really wish we hadn’t. I purchased on the app, which ordered an extra drink also, I don’t know how, as I bought 3 meals with drinks included in the meals, for me and my 2 children, yet it somehow ordered an extra drink, I had to pay for even though I didn’t order it, was told I had to have the drink. This wasn’t a big issue, the issue was quality of the food. I’d return for drinks, service was great. But I’d not return for the food, was pretty poor!

Nice place good spoons menu better than others I’ve seen
