Thought I'd pop in to try out the food menu from Dans Scran and it didn't disappoint, steak and cheese ciabatta was banging and had a great selection for my kids from the kids menu Will come back for the food again!

No refund!! I booked my 40th Birthday party to celebrate at the Lounge Boldmere rd Sutton Coldfield 19th October 2024. 19:00 til 1pm. 18:00 my DJ called me to say that there was no room to set up the music as there was an ongoing live band and a Football party. On arrival 18:00 with the food there was an ongoing Baby shower, live band and Football party. During the meeting prior to the party the manager Shawn informed me that the baby shower would be finished 16:30. I was forced to send my family and friends away to my Flat to eat the food prepared. I called the manager Shawn and Rob the owner Monday morning to receive my £200 deposit and to explain the situation that I attended the Lounge Saturday evening to set up my party on arrival the club was already booked. The manager Rob shouted at me that he was not going to give me a refund that he booked a small section of the club for my party no room for the DJ with the ongoing live band and Football party. I was very upset as I would like to celebrate my 40th Birthday party at a nice location. I do not believe that the Lounge is an suitable location for African Caribbean functions as I didn't feel welcomed no support for Caribbean food or music, also I did not receive my refund.

The food is fantastic, and the staff is very good. However, I am concerned about the security company that works for this bar. The security company is not paying its employees,didn't have proper proofs of paying but the company is receiving money from the client bar. The manager should take action against them and reconsider the contracts with the company.

Went to watch the Peter Kay tribute act they had on this month. The guy himself put on a great show and I have nothing bad to really say about that. We were told a DJ would also be there on the night. Unless they were wearing Harry Potter’s invisibility cloak, they were nowhere to be seen. The venue itself though needs some TLC. While he was performing the disco lights were just constantly changing colours. In parts when he would accidentally hit his microphone the stage plunged into darkness, only coming back on by tapping the microphone again. Ridiculous. The seating for the show was just grab and table and hope you can sit with your party. We moved multiple times to try and find a cleaner table, but they were all the same. Covered in empty glasses and sticky liquids. Thought they might have cleaned up a bit and maybe arranged the seating better.

Gone down hill steadily over the last few years. Looks rough from the outside and feels rough on the inside. Used to be more of a bistro style bar when it opened, but now is just an uncomfortable 'sticky floor' place. Horrible place.

We had tickets for an Irish act Black Jack Davy (he was brilliant )We were a party of 11 out for our friend's 60th Birthday. We arrived at 6:45 to find that no tables were left as the venue had allowed walk in customers who had no tickets! At 7pm the bar staff came around and told us we had to pour our drinks into plastic cups, the type of thing you would expect to use at a kid’s birthday party. A pink gin in a plastic cup just doesn’t cut it to be honest and the lager went flat within minutes. 2 hours later the act had still not come on stage. Four of our party gave up at this point and left to go elsewhere. I have to say that when Black Jack Davy came on he was absolutely brilliant. This in no way reflects on him. I would thoroughly recommend him to anyone wanting a great night’s entertainment. However, we were all very disappointed in the venue. Booking tickets was a complete waste of time and the plastic cups a big no! Our first and last visit here but we will definitely go to see Black Jack Davy if he’s on anywhere else locally.

Rubbish, rip off New Year Eve party. Cost £20 for nothing. Free glass of “champagne” was the most disgusting sweet fizzy drink. The band stopped playing soon after 11:30pm and then the music was random considering it was a party night. There was no atmosphere in the place and other people, including regulars, were complaining about a very disappointing evening. This place used to be really good but over the last year has gone downhill. A shame but you have lost customers due to your inability to organise a decent night without ripping people off.

First of all let me point out that any photos of food are now outdated and the photos I have provided are all that is available. This is a good venue for live entertainment and not for a meal out. No crockery or cutlery. We did enjoy our meals and I must point out how hot and spicy it is. The steak strips were very tender. It was a busy night and the bar was way understaffed, each visit to the bar was at least 20 minutes wait. The ladies toilets were very poor with one of the cubicles covered in vomit and remained that way until the end. So clearly no inspections were carried out. At least one of the cubicles didn't lock. I suppose that if the staff are struggling to cope at the bar then the toilets will go amiss. We sat near the mens toilets and the banging entrance door drove me mad. A bit of time and effort would solve these problems. You'll always get the money in the till but it's equally satisfying to have customers leaving happy and not disgusted. On the plus side, it is a well laid out sports bar with multiple screens of live sports. Live music every Saturday and reasonably priced drinks. Recently in lanzarote a similar type of bar had cameras set up so the live entertainment was shown on the screens while performing. Great idea.

Went here after a works meal upstairs at regards. They were superb btw. 22 of us and and they didn't keep us waiting at all .... Unlike this place. 32 minutes was the time it took to get a flat round of drinks and to be charged how much for the privileged... Seriously get some staff. Or retrain the ones you got... Preferred it when it was the old place. Needless to say our party of people will never be returning to this place...

Staying across the road at the Travelodge Lodge I was looking for an alternative to the Harvester for breakfast. This independent place is spacious, comfortable and welcoming and the staff are attentive and friendly. They offer a good range of vegan options and are happy to adapt dishes as needed. The food is made fresh to order, well presented, tastes vibrant and is made with attention to detail. The coffee was great too and it was all great value.

The Lounge has recently been widely advertising its breakfasts so we thought we'd give it a try. We arrived around 9.20am (opens at 9am). We asked how long the wait would be as we were the only people there and were told as long as it takes to cook a sausage. We ordered 3 medium breakfasts and drinks. No sparkling water, no lime for a lime and soda, so after paying for a lime and soda I asked if I would be refunded for it. The response was "its only 80p". I was later told they would bring it to me - they didn't. The portions were generous, lovely bacon (would of liked it to be cooked more) and microwaved sausages. The latte was wattery with very little milk. Would I return? A firm 'no'. There are too many nice places to eat in Boldmere to tale a second chance on the Lounge.

Without doubt one of the worst experiences I’ve had ! The bar staff were very friendly but the kitchen staff were shocking. On arrival we had to ask for menus which were pointed out and we placed our order . I personally ordered a starter whilst others ordered a main meal . In excess of 90 minutes later the main orders arrived and it was at this point I was told the starter I’d ordered was unavailable ! No apology offered , no compensation offered ! The place is a shambles and I certainly have NO intention of returning.

After reading quite a few very positive reviews on Facebook about the food offerings at the Lounge, (especially the Carvery), we decided to try it out and duly booked a table. After being seated we decided to have a drink which you order yourself at the bar. I had a pint of the East Coast IPA, which I would happily have again, whilst my partner , who was driving, settled on a coke. Unfortunately, there was no coke on draft, nor were there any cans/bottles. Instead, he was offered coke from one of the plastic 2 litre bottles which he decided against. Not the best of starts. Ordering the Carvery at a separate kitchen hatch there were 3 choices of meat. Beef, turkey and gammon. Opting for the beef, my partner also had 2 Yorkshire puddings, carrots, broccoli, ‘roast’ potatoes and gravy. I opted for turkey & gammon, mashed potatoes, broccoli, carrots, green beans, ‘roast’ potatoes, parsnip and gravy. Sprouts were available but we’re still being cooked and a serving for each is us was brought to the table after a few minutes. Let me say that we had both been very much looking forward to this Carvery and so it is sad that based on this meal we will not be returning. Whilst the turkey and gammon were fine, the beef was tough ….. the Yorkshire puddings which at least seemed like they were out of a packet were ‘ok’. The remaining veg/potatoes were similarly ‘ok’. The stuffing , again not seemingly homemade, I was personally not impressed with. The sprouts we thought we undercooked and possibly had been microwaved. Whilst I managed to eat mine, my partner gave up after one. I will say that the gravy and the plates were both hot. I had hoped that this local alternative to the Toby Carvery would become a regular, but sadly based on this visit that will not be the case.

Been twice in the last few weeks and have been unable to get food. The first time the American menu was advertised but not available when I went during the week. The second time I went about 4:30pm on Sunday and they had run out of caverys. Also the music was turned up while we were there and it just meant that everyone was shouting at each other. I hope I get a better experience next time as I used to enjoy coming here before COVID hit.

Surprise party for my daughter arranged by my son in law. All went very well until the bar stopped serving at 10.00pm! My son in law had made arrangements with the manager to extend the bar, but it seems, because they were off sick, that had not been passed onto the bar staff. Very disappointing, Tesco Express did well out of the 80 odd guests as did Weatherspoons. The band, Freefall, also had to end their 2nd set early too!! I sent a messsge to The Lounge expressing my disappointment but 3 days later still no reply. Doubtful any of the 80 odd friends and family will ever return

Popped in today for a drink on way home Come here on a regular basis, can't fault service, food etc. What really gets me is that the obscene language by the builders who come in for a well earned pint usually close to the bar. We had to sit at the back so didn't hear the effing and blinding. PLEASE can you put a sign up about lthe language it's not as if it's done quietly especially when children are in. Are you that desperate for trade, I was in the building trade and I can swear with the best of them Are you scared to tell them 🤔
