The Head of Steam Birmingham in Birmingham

Large place and wide selection of beers. We went on a Saturday night and there was a DJ livening up the atmosphere.

It was a busy night and while I didn't get serve it wasn't untill after 2of the staff finished there chit chat

Spacious, clean bar area. Great choice of beers and Kyle is knowledgable and friendly behind the bar, recommended for an afternoon drink

great vibes, great drinks! molly at the bear was great and made us feel really welcome :) can’t recommend the place enough!

I went to this pub recently I had the double bacon cheeseburger which was delicious!! Myla was my waitress for the afternoon I received impeccable service she was very friendly very approachable and professional. I would 100% recommend this pub to anyone.

Had a lovely night out with some friends on Saturday. Our server Millie was very warm and friendly and also really knowledgable about all the beers and helpful when choosing drinks. Will defo be returning!

Had a couple of great lagers. The pizza and burger were great as well. As a bonus, they’re dog friendly, so we took along our dog. Great way to relax and great service. Will be coming again.

Popped in to this wonderful venue and was served by Kyle! He was so helpful with my gluten intolerance and pointed out the specific gluten free options for myself on the taps! (Never seen such a good beer lineup in general) will definitely be visiting again and bringing friends along. Top service Top drinks And friendly staff!

We visited here today to watch the races, Lidia was very kind and helpful and made sure to check on us throughout the afternoon even though it was busy. We will definitely be visiting again after the service we received and she is a real credit to the team.

Great for an after work pint or 2.. £21 for 3 decent pints

Excellent service, great range of drinks and nice atmosphere.

Very busy but very friendly helpful staff.

Great ambience, delicious beer, nice service. We didn't eat anything but there is a good selection of food. It's quaintly cozy and just like you would imagine a bar in the UK to be.

Love this place but the music was a bit too loud

Absolutely amazing experience came to Sheffield to watch Paul smith but came here for food beforehand and omg it was amazing no disappointment what so ever the food was out of this world and the drinks and Amazing service

Fab night with friends. Good was tasty and service excellent! Thank you Myla for looking after us.

Always a great atmosphere to enjoy a superb range of beers, food is great, good place to watch sport and Myla was superb with her hospitality and service.

What a fantastic venue, we visited here with the family (18 in total) in mid January and spent a good 3-4 hours in here ahead of going to the theatre, Head of Steam must be a favourite with many as was busy and had a great atmosphere. There was an extensive range of drinks, including a great selection of beers, stouts and ales. The menu was right up my street, the food was lovely and I definitely recommend the bacon cheese burger, a special thank to Myla who was very attentive with exceptional service

I bought a drink and left it on a table, went to the toilet and when i returned my drink had vanished , spoke to the barmaid who said “okay what do you want me to do about it” made me a new one and then wanted me to pay again. I reluctantly did.

Live sports and a great selection of beers. Expensive though

Bar staff very slow with zero motivation

Brilliant menu catering for all. Really good vegan options. The atmosphere is brilliant. The service is excellent every time I've been. Sara is the best!

Lovely bar with some fun games.

Tuesday night very quiet. Sport on TV rock music on the sound system. Had a pint of Head of Steam lager - a bit bowf.

Molly was fantastic, great drink selection, good service and a discount for trade. Would defo recommend to beer drinkers.

Molly was great, really good service and really friendly, served the drinks really fast with a great smile, thanks Molly

Good atmosphere and choice of drinks.

Great selection of beers, great atmosphere

Excellent service and great atmosphere. Special shout out to Molly who helped us out and charged our phone while we enjoyed a few drinks and a girly catch up xx

When visiting Birmingham for work which is multiple times per month, this is a must place to visit. The selection of drinks is fantastic, great atmosphere and I've met some great staff members. Here we are, Jan 2025 and another great service, well done Joe! Disnt just serve me any old drink, told him what i liked and he let me try a couple, now that's customer service. It's reasons like this I'm a regular, something other companies can learn from. Thanks joe!

What a great pub!! Friendly and efficient service, excellent choice of beers and drinks, great atmosphere and very busy. Food was delicious, recommend the gyros!! Will definitely return....

Came in for an engagement celebration. we had a beautiful breakfast with a cheeky pint, thanks myla for your great service.

Great food and amazing selection of craft beers. Also live sports

Great place, great beer, once you get served.

Slow serving miserable staff and £7.70 for a pint of Camden Hells? Absolute rip off.

Beer is amazing from here. Such a huge choice.

Excellent friendly service from Lydia. We only came in for a drink- a gingerbread stout for me and a (large😁) coffee for my wife. Was offered a small taster first, the ruby IPA wasn’t for me, before trying the stout which was excellent. Although the ale was good this didn’t prompt this review….. it was the excellent service from Lydia that did. Thank you and please pass it on.

Went to Head of Steam for an impromptu catch up with my friend last week. Rob, the barman, was really helpful and friendly - I had a pink G&T (he charged me a single as he’d accidentally poured a double, but gave me the choice of starting afresh with new drink or having the double, I chose the latter as I hate waste, oh well! 😆) and he let my friend (also called Rob 😂) try samples as he wasn’t sure which stout to get. After sampling a couple and having a chat with Rob the barman, Rob my friend went for the gingerbread stout and really enjoyed it. He’d never been to the HoS before either and liked the vibes, I usually go with work - it’s really good for unpretentious, casual but buzzing atmosphere (I’m usually at the nice cocktail bars 😅). The live music on that night was good too! I can’t comment on the food as we didn’t try that, maybe next time. Thanks Rob and HoS 🙏🏼 we will be back for a drink again soon 🙂.

Had Xmas celebrations, buffet was worth the money. Live music as well.

I did not eat there on this visit but have a few times before and the food was of great quality. I had not been in awhile but on my last couple of visits ale choice has improved when it was already good. Even when busy, staff are spot on.

Really great service from Molly!

The food was so good and my server Alex was so nice so I had a great experience. My food was good, came on time, and I was always being checked in on by my server.

Popped in for a few drinks when we were in the area, served by Alex who was very friendly and fast with the service. Toilets were satisfactory and our table was clean when we arrived. Very happy with the service provided, would come again!

Lovely spot! Alex helped us pick and choose our beers from a wide range of choices which could keep you here all day! Friendly staff and great service, wonderful experience overall.

Luke was brilliant tonight very helpful he was constantly checking in on us despite how busy it was. The other staff were brilliant too

Visited with about 20 colleagues after an all day meeting for a couple of drinks. Spacious and great range of beers. Many thanks to Molly for welcoming us and arranging the tab. Great service

A busy bar that has a great selection of beers and drinks along with lovely food.

£6.90 for a guinness. Too much head, wet glass. Nice atmosphere, but its maybe thats the finance provided from ripping people off.

Great pub and atmosphere and selection of beers and wine

Great place with friendly staff and tasty generous food. Games and tvs available.

Buzzing on a Sunday. Great selection of beers, loads of Belgians, sours and stouts on tap. Class place.

Food is nice on week days. Too noisy for food with friends on the weekend though. They do have very nice beers!

Myla was an amazing waitress at serving food she was very welcoming! 💗

Great selection of beers however serving straffe hendrik quadrupel from a fridge should be considered a criminal offence

Only popped in for a pint. Had a lovely pint of singal brummie from the Birmingham brewering company . Lovely bar with good service. Would recommen

Brilliant pub! Great atmosphere with a nice vibe and an unbeatable selection of beers from all over the world! Can't recommend this place enough for anyone wanting to have a good time!

Great service, great food, great cocktails! Served by Chris, absolute gem of a lad , welcoming and friendly with suggestions and favourites. Absolute slay 💅🏽

Good choice of beers and a choice of sport on the big screens.

Very loud 90s music, craft beer and teenagers with stupid Peaky Blinder haircuts

Lovely atmosphere, great selection of beers and ciders and great service from Ellie 😊 will be back here again one day for drinks!

Nice environment, although the music is a little loud

The price of the beer is ridiculous, over £7 a pint, and they wonder why pubs are closing at an alarming rate. Safe to say only time I will going there.

Me and my Family had great service from Myla who was very polite and attentive with us. The pubs atmosphere is enjoyable and cool! I would definitely recommend this place to others as we very much enjoyed our visit!

Great atmosphere and plenty of seating

Excellent. Food was perfect, just what was needed. Kyle was brilliant, great knowledge of all the beers, of which there are many. Can't wait for our next visit

Visited today for a business lunch. Great food, atmosphere and service from Lidia and the team! Thanks a lot and see you again!

Great place, visited many times. Lovely atmosphere. Good selection of Ales. The staff are lovely, and very welcoming. We were served by Lidia, lovely smile

served last night by Alex, made me a fab cosmopolitan and provided great overall service, would come back again x

Despite being a chain, staff seemed happy and the beer range on cask and keg very good an varied.

Bartender ellie was super helpful and polite, beautiful place too x

Came here for a working lunch and booked via First Table. Phenomenal food and great service from Alex. 100% recommend.

Great venue, watched the match and enjoyed some lovely ales

Great food, drink & service!! The shuffleboard was good fun. Fab selection of drinks.

Fantastic pub, great service and a good pint of stout. They show sports which is a bonus

Good, reasonably priced house beers

It was not a great experience for me. I made a reservation and paid a deposit for it, which wasn't deducted from the bill. When we got there, we were told we had 20 mins to order because the kitchen was closing early, so we quickly made our choices. We had to pay on the spot before the food arrives, if you want to pay at the end, you must leave your bank card with the bar staff, which I'm not comfortable with. Ladies' toilets were horrible, out of 5 stalls, 2 were out of order, one had no lock, and another had no toilet paper nor a toilet paper holder. The food did arrive promptly, but it was OK at best, nothing you can't get anywhere else. Overall, I can't recommend the place when there are so many other and better places in that area of Birmingham. Pity, we really looked forward to it, but it didn't live up to its own hype.

Excellent food qnd service, thanks Myla!

Popped in this evening on a works do. Liam was very knowledgeable and friendly. Atmosphere was awesome loved the music. Thanks I’ll definitely recommend. Plus points for Peroni in a Peroni glass!

Very friendly, welcoming, and helpful staff. Chilled ambience and clientele. Loads of seating options. Food available. Great range of drinks. Milk Stout recommended.

Friendly pub, good beers and dog friendly too.

Our server was Kyle, he was helpful, kind and attentive. He also explained the menu and advised what i should have - margarita pizza. He’s very hardworking.

Lovely flatbread and peroni Service from Kyle was excellent, he was attentive and took our order from the table. A credit to the team!

Kyle was a fantastic and friendly sever. He was attentive and hard working. The vegan cheeseburger was very tasty as were the side of chips :)

Lovely vegan burger, Kyle who served us was a delight, loved that the tv was playing the Olympics, will definitely be back soon

Popped in tonight for a quiet pint with family - pub was quiet - lots of choice and the staff were very patient with us while we perused the huge beer selection! Unfortunately the beer we chose was from the bottom of the barrel and Kyle behind the bar was happy to replace it for us - he was really friendly and helpful- will definitely come back next time I’m in Birmingham!

Nice venue, great mix of beers, but the food wasn't great at all. We were in a group of 15 and had preordered. Staff very nice though. Maybe just an off day for the food as others rave about it

Not very helpful or understanding regarding autism I felt intimidated

great range of drinks available both on draught and in cans & bottles. 3 for 2 on fridge stock and four 1/3s for £10 are absolute bargain deals, especially in the city centre. was recommended multiple options by bernie who really knew her stuff and made sure i got beers i liked. the nacho burger is also incredible if you're staying for food!

We went here to watch the Euros final, staff were so friendly and helpful and security were really quick to help us when a man started acting strange towards us, can’t thank them enough!!! Made us feel so comfortable and welcome

Went in while football was on decent pub 👌

Served by Kyle who recommended me a brilliant wide range of drinks, with a warm welcoming smile! Great atmosphere and great pub

Decent pub in the centre of Birmingham with a great selection of beers.

Great place to watch sport, good selection of beer and great tasting food. Recommend trying the wings.

Great atmos, great beer! Best of all great service from Bernie!

Had a really good night out. Good, buzzing atmosphere. Great beer. Great service. Thanks Bernie for all your recommendations with the drinks!

Nice bar, nice staff, some beer on tap VERY expensive, but they aren't cheap elsewhere either, so just to be aware of when ordering.

Great boozer - good selection of beers at a reasonable price for city centre. Kyle & Mollie were brilliant - really lovely to top off a Monday night

Great bar staff (makes a huge difference to my enjoyment of a night out) and a surprising amount of vegan options. Will definitely be back to try more.

Nice place for an after work drink, good atmosphere but could do with more bar staff in peak times!

Decent bar with a lot of choice - Just needs more variety of cocktails and better quality (mojito doesn’t even use real sugar - and it needs to be brown if you do).
