The Pig & Tail in Birmingham

Great little pub with a nice selection of beer. Owner made space for us to join the pub quiz even though there weren’t any tables!

Great pub. Recommend the quiz on a Wednesday and the food is delicious! The new owners are doing a great job.

The staff were both efficient and happy and friendly despite a large group to attend to at the same time. The food was delicious. Both the pulled brisket and the fried chicken cooked to perfection. But the accompanying dip/sauce was the star of the show.

efficient, friendly and entertaining staff served very tasty food.

Had the best meal and drinks at this lovely place and would highly recommend it amazing definitely worth a visit Roifield is the best landlord I have ever met xx

Brilliant afternoon spent in this pub well worth a visit , great atmosphere and music friendly helpful staff would highly recommend

Shared an awesome evening for my birthday and couldn’t be more impressed by the service, food, environment and above all the family oriented vibes. Well worth a visit . Check them out then give them a thumbs up shout out.

A warm welcome to this beatutiful pub under new management ! We just came for some drinks after work but ended up ordering food and staying all night. The new manager, Royfield, was very kind and engaging and his staff were warm and welcoming - great value for money. Lovely to experience some local talent performing and see that there were events going on. A new era for this lovely pub!

Lovely neighbourhood pub. Beautiful inside with original features. The staff are very friendly & welcoming. The music was fantastic! Food was tasty & fresh with very generous portions. Well worth a visit.

Lovely old pub with great music, food and service

Great food and wonderful soundtrack to a Sunday lunch. Quality, well proportioned and flavoured food. Had beef and chicken poutine and honey tenders around the table as well as jalapeño poppers and corn lollipops. Four very full and satisfied guests! Will be back soon.

just so so wonderful, had a wonderful lil meal and drink just now and the tunes were perf and the staff were lovely!! tysm guys!! we will be back!!

Saw the pub on Instagram and thought it is worth a try. My wife works in hospitality so can be fussy😀. Nice pub, very clean and good beer. The food was delicious with Cajun Soul. Couldn't fault. Would recommend 😋

Visited Temper & Brown yesterday evening. What a fabulous place! Friendly staff with a great atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious 😄 and reasonably priced. I would whole heartedly recommend a visit.

This is a place I’ve visited in previous incarnations, and always felt it needed just that little bit extra. It now has it. The new landlord is a very personable bloke, easy to talk to, with great plans for the future. I had just the one pint, but throughout my quaffing time I felt chilled, indeed happy, that such a lovely spot has been lit up with new enthusiasm.

Fantastic pub, nice and clean inside, great music choice and super nice food for a good price, worth the visit!

8pm on a Friday evening and only two people in the whole place. Zero atmosphere and exactly the same interior as pig n tail. I'd be very surprised if it's still open in a year.

Most of the reviews of this pub are from when it was under different management and had different names. I went there for lunch today (Tuesday). Apparently, they don't do food on Tuesday and you're supposed to know that, judging by their attitude (no apology. They don't tell you when they ARE serving food). Nothing on their flier or web site tells you that. You only find out if you book a table and who books a table in a pub on a Tuesday lunchtime? Unsurprisingly I was the only customer between 1 and 2pm. Two people did come in and immediately left when discovering the kitchen was closed. They obviously don't want my custom which is lucky because the certainly aren't getting it.

My first visit to the establishment in about 5 years and it was fabulous, my wife and I visited Saturday tea time (10.8.24) and were not disappointed… food was incredible, very well cooked and presented… and the flavours… oh my days !!! My wife had the waffles and chicken whilst I had the Chicken Poutine , both dishes were polished off quick time !!… the atmosphere was very laid back with friendly staff and good background music … had a pint of vocation to wash it down with which was excellent… 100% will be returning very soon 👍👍👍

Cool reggae vibes on a Sunday afternoon! Outdoor seating was fabulous to enjoy the music and sunny weather, all complimented by delicious food and wonderful service and conversation from our waitress and manager! Will definitely come back very soon.

Absolutely amazing! I had the Pulled Beef Brisket with a side of mac and cheese. Wow. Everything from the fries, meat, and I’m not even usually a fan of slaw either, but it complimented the meal perfectly. Great beers choices as well. I highly recommend to anyone!

Under new ownership and already have a great programme of events coming up in August. Already booked for Carl Chinn. Just popped in for a beer checking out the Jamaican independence day celebrations. Stayed for a few including a complementary can of Red Stripe. Met Glenn the owners father on his 56th wedding anniversary and he shared his secret of a long loving marriage. Looking sharp at 80 years old! Got a good feeling this place is going to be a local gem. Definitely be back very soon

This pub is a little gem! We had never had the pleasure before, and visited for a family celebration and had access to the courtyard at the rear. It’s a little haven of wonderfulness, a great selection of beers, different from the normal run of the mill choice you get at so many bars, a great selection of hot nibbles and super service.

Surprised just how good this pub was

Last drank here 45yrs ago when it was called the "George" by regulars, it's now the Pig and Tail and wow what a change , used to be a dark damp sawdust floored over partitioned boozer, now it's lovely and bright but retains lots of period features , never appreciated how nice the stained glass windows were. Lots of different beers , cocktails, teas and coffees, had a burger and fries and it was so good, very friendly staff and just a really cool place to be...not waiting another 45yrs, will be back very soon

Only snacks are available after 2:30pm every day😅

I hired the Pig & Tail out for my boyfriend's 30th birthday, and it was genuinely the best decision ever. Everything from the food, the service, the venue, to the help in organising from the owner Mark was absolutely incredible. The venue is such a beautiful space, and the staff so friendly and helpful. The food was 1000/10 and exceeded my expectations in every single way. No task was too big for the staff, they really were amazing. I strongly recommend the Pig & Tail whether just popping in for a drink or hiring for events, you will not be disappointed.

I booked this venue for my husbands 30th surprise party, having never been before I had no idea what to expect, but wow! The staff were incredible and so helpful, nothing was too much. I’m so glad I chose this independent pub over a chain, they made the whole evening so special and memorable for us, we will definitely be back again! Thank you!

Amazing food and excellent selection of beers and wines! Recommended!

Just had drinks. Lovely location and cute atmosphere.

Lovely food, lovely staff & dog friendly too.

Went with a friend to get Mexican food for the last week of the tierrataco pop up, had their food before at their own restaurant and love it so was excited to take a friend as Pig and Tail is a lovely building. There was a young woman working on the bar with dark hair and a European accent who didn’t greet us or smile while we were waiting to be seated, and she was unfriendly and close to rude all night. Whereas,The young female waitress was lovely and friendly. We ordered at 8pm and didn’t get our food until past 9pm, when it arrived it was hardly warm and we were given a free taco of meat that neither of us could eat. As the venue closes at 10pm we felt rushed and awkward. When we did ask for the bill so we could leave quickly the bartender abruptly told us to go to the bar and then she walked away, we thought this to be rude as it had been table service all evening. I have no issue paying at the bar but the tone was unnecessary and we felt as if we’d done something wrong. The food was great in taste and the atmosphere was fun and festive so overall a good night but just a little disappointed.

Lovely wholesome place, food is amazing and the staff were fantastic, went above and beyond 🙂

Lovely bar, friendly staff, gorgeous food, totally fell in love with this place, wish I could move it to Manchester!

Came in for lunch and a drink. Great food and great prices! Paula and Abby recommended me a few cocktails and were very friendly. Definitely recommend this cosy bar ❤️❤️

Wanted to try somewhere we hadn’t been before, came across this pub Fabulous decor FABULOUS COCKTAILS, good choices of wine n beers. We ordered food. And we was NOT disappointed , we will definitely be back taking our family next time Lovely secret garden too.

First visit here for a while but not that impressed to be quite honest. For a start for a Saturday afternoon there was hardly anybody in the restaurant side which I wondered about. They mainly did small dishes and side plates which worked out very expensive as you needed around four for one person. So when I received the food there wasn't alot there for your money!! Wine was nearly £30 a bottle and the puddings were £8 each and although nice you didn't get alot for your money!! Service good and reasonably nice surroundings but no one in. To top it all at the end my credit card was refused twice before accepted on the third time and when I noticed my credit card pending payments there was three lots taken out so I had to ring my bank to sort it out later that day which took quite some time( this could have been prevented by being given cancellation receipts!! ) Needless to say won't be coming back!!!! This is my honest opinion so it's just unfortunate I didn't think this place was for me! I hope it doesn't deter other visitors in future. All the best!

Staff couldn't be more helpful or polite. we enjoyed the food plates and dessert 😋 will definitely be back on our Saturday lunchtime out. 👍🏼

fabulous lil beer garden and cute vibes ✨

Fabulous food, amazing decor. Totally recommend!!

Nice atmosphere. Nice courtyard garden.

Great gem in the JQ. I've been coming here since it opened back in 2015. Good quality food, friendly atmosphere. One of my favourite bars in town... its certainly worth a visit ☺️

Have been here quite a few times as are very local to the pub. The service is always great, the drinks are amazing and the food hits the spot. The beer garden is such a hidden gem, and with dogs this is a great location and extremely dog friendly. This is a must visit, even if just for a quick drink or bite to eat for lunch. Always support local and independent!

Brand new barmaid.. first day.. doing amazingly well.. her and the manager worked well, relaxed but professional approach.. good banter amid the 1st day nerves (she'll do well 😉). Comfortable characterful old pub.. reasonable choice of beers, interesting menu, lots of choice.. great service.. reasonable prices. Would we go again? Yes of course, in fact we did.. the very next evening.. but sadly, being a Sunday we found it to be closed.😔.. untill the next time we're in Birmingham!! 😀🤞

Great small plates selection. Prawn and pork belly were my favourites.

Great beer selection and friendly staff ambiance was very good well worth a visit

Good food in lovely surroundings.

The pub was unassuming, but once inside it was nice and bright and friendly. And our meal was amazing. Whoever they had cooking our ham, egg and chips and our Durwood burger, knows what they are doing!

A very pleasant looking pub with friendly staff and a good value for money menu. The secret garden is a little gem. Will definitely return next time we are in the jewelry quarter. 10/10

Leah is such a lovely member of staff, she always serves us so quickly and makes sure my friends son is always kept happy and smiling. Very polite and always a kind look on her face, looking forward to being served by her again!

Fantastic service , very attentive staff and great food and drinks . Popped down by mistake and really enjoyed the atmosphere

A delightful light and spacious bar. The manageress is a breath of fresh air, young, enthusiastic and most attentive with a good knowledge of the drinks and food. She tempered us two days later and we were welcomed once more Very nice place

First time in The Pig and Tail it's a must go to. Fab little spot with amazing food. The Chocolate brownies were to die for. The service we received was amazing and we will definitely be back again. They made us feel welcomed even though we booked last minute. Good dog friendly in spot.

Pleasant small pub 10 mins walk from Colmore Row. Great selection of cast and keg ales and lagers. Nice alternative to the city centre bars.

Absolutely lovely place. Ideal for small groups or a couples night out. Reminds me very much of the Architect in Cambridge. Prices in keeping with the area. Friendly environment. Pretty internal setting with vaulted decorative windows. It also had Stella unfiltered on tap which was a nice change. Honestly give it a go.

Popped in with friends. Great food, great atmosphere!

Pleasant lunch with a group of friends.

Visited for lunch on a Saturday after visiting Escape Brum. Good service, nice food. Interesting decor. Love the big glass windows.

Great place with great food, and great staff!

Came here on Saturday night, was going to stay for food but after being made to wait for so long at a bar that wasn't busy we thought we would spend our money elsewhere. The two bartenders were both acting very strange. Neither of the two ladies looked like they were going to bother serving the waiting customers and when I said excuse me I got a scowl off one of them. We had one drink and then left. We couldn't understand their behaviour but we won't bother visiting again as there are better bars/restaurants in the area.

What a great find, will be coming again for sure. Friendly staff with good choice of drinks.

These loaded fries were £5. (I’d had three before photo) larger was poured well and is a decent pub.

A great vibe in a friendly pub; lovely staff with good food

Went there for the valentines day special and i have so much to say about how great our experience was so buckle up: -the food was delicious, fresh ingredients were used, seasoned perfectly (and i m very picky about that) -the pricing is extremely reasonable for what we got -so much love is put in the place, from the nice music, to the overall cleanliness of the place. It s the little details like the lemon in the water for ex -the staff is wonderful, friendly and really kind. Made us feel welcomed right away -they are providing an incredible community service overall by offering locals cool socials at a great price whether it s a movie night and a warm meal or burger and beer for a tenner. I must say we plan on coming back and becoming regulars. If you visited prior, please come back, this is miles away from my initial experience there just after covid. I dont know if they had a change of ownership, or new staff but please Pig and Tail keep whatever you are doing ❤️❤️ Ps sorry to the lovely staff i forgot your name but you are a superstar.

Wonderful service, food, brownie and experience

What a lovely find in the jewellery quarter. Great selection of beers, and a really nice atmosphere, will definitely be returning.

Really cute little place, we went for lunch but they had an all-afternoon brunch option. Well priced food would definitely go back.

Nice small friendly pub. Food are nice as well, reasonable price with reasonable portion. We ordered a curry chips, wings and burger. All taste good! Obviously, you won't expect the food to be exceptional as you are in a pub anyway, But I would say the quality is definitely above average. Cocktail is good too. I live nearby so I will definitely visit again.

Great old building beautifully renovated and furnished. Good range of beers and decent wine. Will definitely return

Excellent choice of craft ales, bar staff who know their job and interesting trendy décor

Lovely airy pub with good beer and (reasonably priced) food. Well worth a visit.

Sorry for coming in late. Nice looking pub. Great staff, comfy chairs. Stout is excellent.

Great place with a good selection of beers..

A friendly atmosphere with helpful staff and local patrons who make it feel welcoming. It was my first time and I stayed longer than I thought I would. I had a drink and some fried cauliflower and then decided to stay for dinner.seeing the food being served out of the kitchen then inspired me to have a hamburger. The quality of the meat and flavour were delicious, I think the chefs make a fine effort with the presentation and it shows in the taste buds too !

Great bar staff and convivial pub.

Lovely and attentive staff and delicious, well presented food. I lived the meat platters particularly and the fries were amazing. Can highly recommend!

Great experience, Welcoming atmosphere. Good food and drinks , I'll definitely be back .

Lively bar with good food - although expensive.

The venue was perfect for a late lunch after a tour of JW Evans Silver Factory down the road and also for coffee beforehand .The tasty dishes were all freshly prepared and the service from Leah was friendly and efficient . A place to return to when next in the area .

Cosy pub, good service and enjoyable food.

Great beer and nice food. The staff were very helpful. An excellent venue in historic Brum.

Nice pub, friendly staff and a great selection of drinks. 35 of us went there from work and had a great evening. Jewellery Quarter has some great pubs and this is one of them! Well worth a visit

Visited here after JW Evans thansk tio a recommendation by a couple. Enjoyed beef and chicken satay burgers sat in a great outdoor space. Would be very easy to over look.

Next time I go I'm getting food! It's homely.

V good drinks, and the food looked good, we arrived after the kitchen had closed.

Interior of the pub is very nice and welcoming and the staff have always been very friendly and helpful to me. I always come here when I come down to Birmingham for my tattoo and I’ve never been disappointed with any of the small plates I order. This place is perfect for those who are looking for a light meal during the day.

Visited for the pub quiz with my partner and we had a lovely time. We had the big boy bird her and the finger lickin fiery chicken burger with chips and loaded fries. Was delicious!! The pub quiz was great and was very busy. the prizes were very good as well! We will definitely be back in the week to try the sweet treats and we will be doing the quiz monthly!

Nice courtyard for a sunny summer dau

Just had the most amazing Shetland farm mussels smoked bacon passata sauce ever well done to everyone working there gets a big yes chef from me

First of all how amazing is Leah,wonderful service from start to finish and it looked like she was handling it all by herself. Place is stunning,food was lovely,will visit again soon for sure

Good drinks, great food and helpful staff.

What an amazing pub, more restaurant with a different twist. Food simple, tasty and fresh. Recommend the mussels. Deserts to amaze.

My friend and I had lunch here today for the first time-we were served by Leah and Charlotte who were superb. The decor is beautiful and a real feast for the eyes. The food was scrumptious and the drinks were refreshing. It's also dog friendly and an independent pub. Look forward to dining here again.

Delicious food and lovely staff. We sampled the brunch menu and it did not disappoint, looking forward to a return visit for the evening menu.

One of the loveliest meals and friendliest services I have had in a long time.. Our server Leah was an absolute delight and made the meal to be quiet honest.. I would recommend the muscles they were delicious.. A wonderful place to visit..
