The Hop Pole Inn in Bromsgrove

Good pub for ale and live music. Always busy, always friendly. Recommended.

Visited from Cardiff recently. Lady behind the bar was excellent. Very welcoming. Recommended the local pork scratchings

A great traditional pub with good service, great a selection of beers and live entertainment. 👌

Friendly boozer. Barlady remembers my order every time 👏

Good to find an old street corner local selling Bromsgrove brewed Woodcote ales - classic ales at rock bottom prices.

Amazing atmosphere and selection of drinks as well as great bands playing over the weekends

Great place for live music and fabulous beer . Saw Stuart from Legends here a few moths back ( great band by the way ) People friendly and the beer is excellent. All in all a very nice friendly pub .

Great atmosphere, great selection of beer and spirits, live music on a weekend, highly recommend a visit!

Great pub in Bromsgrove lovely staff and friendly locals.

It was empty when I popped in so it would be wrong to comment further

Good bands. Wide range of well kept beer.

Honestly the best pub for live music

Fab family friendly little pub. Great disabled access and facilities. Welcoming staff. Lovely little beer garden. Good prices and make a great coffee! Shame they havent got more parking space available

Have never eaten there but the staff are Fri and welcoming. Live music every Friday and Saturday evenings. Best beer garden in town!

Great live music venue and reasonable prices.

Great pub they get some great bands and people are friendly and helpful in there.

Very friendly pub to visit, band tonight was amazing as always

Good local live music venue. On a very busy road, but close to larger car parks. Supplies of good, well kept wine and beer. Quite busy on weekend nights and obviously with live music might be described by some as loud, but certainly not unreasonably noisy.

Super friendly staff and nice relaxed atmosphere, topped off with a fun live band performance!

Nice little place but be aware this is a small place and gets very full during live shows. I'm not a regular so cannot comment on other entertainment but the band that was on seemed good. There is limited seating so for persons who cannot stand for long periods or in a wheel chair have issues to find a suitable comfortable place.

Popped on for a drink with family/friends for my moms birthday. Cider was flat and really expensive for a local pub and there is absolutely zero air circulation inside so its stuffy, smelly, sweaty and hot! We left after an hour which is a shame as the band were really good but couldn't breath in there. Bot our sort of place for sure!

Fab pub and venue we need more places like this. Thank you 🥰

BLOWN AWAY! Never been there before but had noticed, on Facebook, they had a live band on (push to play). I/we were warmly greeted, had an absolutely fantastic evening. Live band was AMAZING. So, if (on Fri/Sat) you're looking for a great place to go..........👌🏽👍

Great night Free spirit group 👍👍💥💥

Great local pub with a great atmosphere. And dog friendly 😀

Good beers available and good live music

not a bad word to say about the hop pole. staff are always brilliant, drinks choice is spot on for a smaller pub. if you’re looking for a chill vibe, this place is for you

My band Velvet Jam played here last night and it was one of the best gigs we’ve had. Super friendly owners and bar staff, great atmosphere and crowd. Highly recommend this place for a few beers and some great music 🎶

Good friendly traditional pub.Will visit again.

It was a nice place and it showed the queens funeral!

Friendly staff and great atmosphere

Great pub atmosphere with brilliant live bands glad this place is on my doorstep

A proper pub, not a posers paradise.

Fab night out at the Hop Pole Bromsgrove,! Great atmosphere! Loz Rabone an accoustic Artist, fantastic singer and guitarist. Playing accoustic covers from 60's to modern day. Would definitely recommend to listen to his music and a fab night at the Hop Pole Inn!

Old school boozer, Good for live music.

Good venue. They bave some nice plans in the works for upstairs and the beer garden

Reasonablely priced. Staff help ful and friendly. Good venue for music

Brilliant place for the crowd that gets in there you never have trouble getting served Brilliant bar staff really recommend place

Great place to see live music, friendly atmosphere, good selection of beers

Lovely drop of beer served when one drops into The Hop Pole Inn, especially the Bath’ums (the brewers must have been, er, under the influence of something sounding similar when they were racking their brains what to call their ale!).

Always good here. Friendly staff and some great bands on a weekend

Great alcohol, great prices, great music

I love the place ! Every time I'm in there on a Friday or a Saturday watching a band I have a smile on my face, it's a relaxing, happy atmosphere, with never a hint of aggression, I don't know if they do food, they close a little bit earlier than most pubs, but if you feel like more, you can just walk around the corner into the town, but most the time I feel like I've had my lot, and head home content .

Great little pub with friendly staff and lots of live music .

Great band, my ears are still ringing. Great bar staff and friendly punters.

Fridays are great fun with the live band. Good atmosphere and friendly staff and customers. Really enjoy the live bands but can be too loud at times and so sound is distorted or too much bass. Overall, a great night out.

Had a brilliant night last night 30th October. Fantastic band, great show. Bar staff were great too!

Rocked up at the Hop Pole for first time in yonks for a Class of 1978 Waseley Hills School Reunion The beer and company was good and the Irish Folk Rock 3 piece live band was Bostin!

Good beer and good service always very helpful.

Very good pub great atmosphere very good bands aswell

Great place for watching bands. Good atmosphere

Nice live music pub, nice staff, free live music on Friday and Saturday, pub garden. Good range of beers, ales

A wonderful afternoon with good friends. Very pleasant pub. Good service. Nice beers. Friendly atmosphere.

Great pub with some fab live music

Lovely friendly and welcoming pub. First visit but won't be the last

Fantastic Christmas Eve. Thanks. Lee

Barstaff very friendly, lovely little bar

We regularly travel 10+ miles to visit this pub, the staff are all very friendly, the beer is good and well priced, they frequently have live music and the atmosphere is good. Recommended.

Seen a brilliant band. Live music every weekend

Good place for beer and live music.

The bar man was very polite and welcoming and not to crowded, the others there was very friendly to .will deffently be going again

Small pub with good live music. Seems to be a fairly well known pub for local bands.

What lovely staff and customers. Our band 77 played there and nothing was a problem. Good range of beers, friendly locals and top staff. We'll worth a visit if you like live music as they have a band on every week. Loved the place and would definitely go there if in the area again either to see a band or just have a beer. Five stars from me!

Always a great atmosphere and great live music. Friendly staff and great selection of drinks.

Lovely little pub. Friendly staff. Nice and clean. They had a fab band playing the night I went. Excellent! Reasonably priced drinks too.

Traditional friendly pub, could do with a bit of a spruce up though!

Cracking evening. Live entertainment that you are not charged brilliant

Great staff and freidly atmosphere

Great band last night Mouse Police! Bar staff were great.

Had a quick pint of john Smith's and the ambiance was ok very friendly.

Always a good band good gin and fabulous atmosphere. Never had a bad night in this pub!!

One of the best live music pubs in Bromsgrove! Brilliant drinks! Friendly staff and high level of hygiene! *****

As always, amazing live bands on a Saturday. Bar team are lovely people who make all customers feel welcome. Great place just to listen to some music and have a pint or a glass of wine with some friends. A couple of downsides which equated to only 4 stars: The first was the lack of options with some drinks including wine. The second was the garden/beer garden. There was a small but deep hole in the ground by the path which I nearly tripped on. I assume it was from a previous role or railing. Quite a bad tripping hazard as someone could break an ankle if they did trip. The other was the eyesore of the skip in the garden. I understand that this is temporary, but between the old scooters and electronics, it really did bring the overall appearance down.

Brilliant band tonight, get them back!!! What an atmosphere!!

Great live music. Good atmosphere, lovely staff.

We visited the Hop Pole Inn whilst we were away on a cycling trip. It was a great little place with a good friendly vibe. The bar staff were very welcoming and everyone in there was in good spirits. We love our live music so were thrilled when there was a band playing, made the night even better. Met some fabulous people and had a bit of a boogie too.

Great pub with friendly staff and a good quiz on a Tuesday night. Real ales on offer and a very good selection of gins. Guinness is a must here as it's probably the best in bromsgrove. Summer time will be good as the management have spoken of bbq's and live music in the beer garden at the rear. It also has a games upstairs too. I would recommend to anyone passing.

Nice little Pub, is generally at least £1 more expensive on drinks, than other pubs in the area that I've been to and Other than that, it's quite nice. I believe they have just had their pool room refurbished aswell, so that's a nice little bonus for anyone on their stop off with their mates or family.

Very nice people who run the pub they have just taken over wish them all the best

Brilliant night with a fabulous live group. Really enjoyable

Great little pub with live music, good atmosphere and friendly staff.

Rubbish as usual only one real ale on and spirits gone up by a pound how can you justify this such a shame no longer our local any more just thought we would give it one more chance 😣

The band the transporters played well. there was a bit of feedback. the buffet was good. the pub wasn't very full but it didn't matter to me.

Great night soul music and dancing

Good selection of beers and spirits

Cracking pub..only been once..there was live music on..very busy and good selection of ales..I'd go back.

Always enjoy an evening at this pub. Music, friendly staff, good clientele what more could you ask.

The band Free Spirit were playing live there. It's a great place to enjoy live music, a drink and a chat. Friendly folk and bar staff. This place has character.

seen some awesome bands here great stuff. Great place to be on a friday night

Best live music pub in Bromsgrove love the place,!

Same people, same music as ten years ago.

A great pub with a charming atmosphere. There is a game room with 2 pool tables and a dart board, there is a shelf that skirts the edge of the entire games room to rest drinks upon. Although you have to pay a deposit for the pool queues i can see why as they are nice in the hand. The drinks are cheap and they have nice drinks on tap.

Awesome pub Awesome band thank you.

Lovely place to have a drink and listen to music.

Great pub friendly atmosphere. Good bands.

A proper pub with real beer, real atmosphere and crusty cobs behind the bar.

Nice place. Clean pub. Clean pint of OBJ.

Great bands and friendly service

Absolutely brilliant pub I think best in Bromsgrove.

Good beer and a good atmosphere,well worth a visit
