The Three Tuns in Birmingham

Tried this pub out today, never been before. Several rooms to choose from, and bar that serves real ale with a good choice, so my partner was happy. Extensive menu, and ordered meal at bar. I had 8 oz steak with mushrooms, chips peas and tomato, my partner had beef Sunday roast. Both meals were nicely cooked, and very large. Good value for money here, and staff very helpful and friendly.

Good beer, great open mike night, marvellous traditional pub.

Had a nice pint of lager and a burger meal, which was very tasty but for £10 a touch small I'd say. Went here before I saw an event at the Town Hall which is very close by. Staff were friendly.

It's a nice pub with a slightly odd split layout. Worth a look, certainly.

Good pub. Good choice of food tasted nice. Good choice of beers. Open mic had a good standard of players.

Amazing place and the staff are all amazing people and really look after you and really get into the spirit of music and they are very much in my music camp 😀

We came to The Three Tuns for our final drinks before heading home and we really enjoyed it. The rock and alternative music was great and everyone was really friendly.

Friendly staff and amazing food. Will definitely visit again ☺️

Food, Guinness, and staff were absolutely stunning! I didn't catch the barmans name, but he was a gem, really friendly and so kind. In an unfamiliar town away for work, I find a warm reception so essential and that's 100% what I got here 😊 thanks to the team, and even the punters, for making me feel welcome away from home. It would even be worth making the five hour trip to come back ✌🏼

The beer was nice, but the music and service was rather questionable.

Friendly welcoming staff. Tasty ale and generous plate of nachos 😋

Went in for dinner before a show at the Town Hall. The atmosphere in the pub is lovely. Very welcoming. I had the veggie chilli, portion was massive and delicious and very reasonably priced. Will definitely go again.

Out of all the pubs in the midlands, this is the most unfriendly service and poor Guinness I’ve experienced. The Duke is however a great pub in Sutton Coldfield

The Three Tuns is a mixed bag. The look and the decor inside is very nice. And the atmosphere the night I went in, when an open mic night was occurring, very good. The one thing that ruined my experience was the manner in which I was served at the bar. A blonde lady, possible called Beryl, or Sharon, or Irene, gave me a look as if to say, WHAT DO YOU WANT ? No greeting, no Yes please, not even a What can I get cha mush ! ? Nowt. Nunk. Not a sausage ! Just a look in my direction and a miserable face. Then when she'd poured my drink she said £2.70. No please and not a thank you when handing me my change ? It's probably only a very small thing, and perhaps would not matter to a lot of people, but I feel manners cost nothing. And in a job where you are serving the public, a cheerful demeanor is an asset. When I worked in retail, many decades ago, my customer service skills were top notch and unparalleled. 😯🙄😁Customer's would ask where I was, if it were my day off or having my lunch break. I was a credit to the small business emporium, and a jewel in the crown of The British Empire and all her colonies ! !! ?? 🤨🧐😯🤔😁🤣🤣😂 It definitely wasn't me that started the fire. 😯🤔😐 Billy Joel can testify to that. 👍

We went here on good Friday and had such a lovely night, everythng was great! The menu has so many options, the food was fantastic, and the service was perfect! All the servers were so happy and polite. I'm sorry I didn't get the name of our waiter, he was young with blondish hair. But he was really helpful. Prior to our visit we were saying how eating out is not really worth it anymore, (expensive not usually that good of food or service) but this place absolutely proved us wrong. We have already booked to go back for the next birthday in July 😁 absolutely recommend this place!

I didn't eat food, but popped in with some friends for a drink. Fantastic band on Saturday 2nd March 2024 ,hopefully they will be there on a regular basis

Myself and my friends went in after being enticed by the exterior so just came for a swift half. The atmosphere was fantastic, and after a half turned in to several more, we all decided to get some food. I opted for the chicken burger whilst my friends went for ciabatta and lasagna. Absolutely delicious! Such good quality and the staff were so kind and welcoming. Great pints, great food, we will be returning! New local alert!

It's a decent pub but they could do with pushing the smokers a little further away from the back door so the smell doesn't drift in.

I brought two Ukrainian friends here to visit a British pub with live music. Rachel who served us was very friendly and helpful, giving them tasters try different beers. They enjoyed their night.

Thwaites Bitter was good, only had a couple of drinks, table was a bit sticky...

AVOID THIS PLACE I may have to give an award to this place for potentially being the biggest dump in the UK The manager "moz", which is an awful name by the way, is useless & arrogant as well as being constantly drunk while running the business into the ground. He needs to seriously sort himself out. Beer that tastes like water, staff with the personality of a brick wall - it's a miracle the place is still running to be honest.

Warm welcome by the staff, great local pub

Atmosphere was excellent but could of done with the open fire being lit as the room was cold, the food and drinks were good.

Loved the drinks, food, service but of done with a fire being lit as it was a bit drafty

Friendly place for a drink anytime of the week.

Great food. Steve the chef cooks steaks marvellously. The beer is perfect and a good choice in the guest IPA’s. Service always good and ample safe parking at the rear in the evenings and weekend. Only complaint is that the website colours makes it very hard to read the menu etc. But that’s not a reflection on the pub. Highly recommended !!

Only visited in the day for a drink good service and good range of drinks

Amazing atmosphere.. really friendly, helpful staff, efficient service.. called in for dinner on way to theatre .. all made fresh.. we had sausage and mash with garden peas and a rich gravy... and a "three tuns" burger with rainbow slaw and fries.. very very tasty.. served piping hot... it didn't last long...!! Will definitely go back.. Good value for money... Thank s for a lovely evening..

We love Ant! (&all the staff were lovely). Delizioso.

We popped in on Saturday lunch time, we had a meal there a few months ago we enjoyed it and we happened to be in the area again so we decided to try it again. We really enjoyed our meals again, my wife had lamb chops from the specials board and the chef did her gravy without mint as requested. I had the burger I asked for it without slaw and cheese it came as I requested it, I was pleasantly surprised because this doesn't normally happen. The service was great and the prices were reasonable. I would recommend The Three Tuns, Sutton Coldfield.

Great traditional pub with speedy service. Shows the football on the TV. Has live bands at weekends and hosts tunns fest

Lovely pub with loads of character . Amazing staff 5* . Great food and a lovely atmosphere. We really enjoyed our time here .

This pub has a good vibe and would be good to have a drink in. The interior is really nice and bright. The food was really nice and good prices. The mini smoking area was nice and has a cute touch. But this pub seems like the type to more-so drink in. The men’s toilet was gross, with fluids on the floor everywhere and one tap broken, hanging out. No locks on the toilet doors and toilet roll was soaked. Not nice or clean. Service at the bar was a bit slow. Menu’s also came out different from what is advertised on their website. Some menu’s came out with one page and another with 6 pages. Overall, definitely a place more-so to drink, listen to music and watch the sports. For drinking it’s perfect, for eating with a family not so much.

Always good in The Tuns, staff are super 👌

Nice pub with regular live music and a warm welcome. Excellent range of Thwaites ales, well looked after and served well.

Nice beers, service is good and atmosphere is calm

We was in town shopping and we pop in for a drink and food.was 10 out of 10 . I had the burger with chips and wifey had a meat ciabatti thing.

Excellent service from Henry, very friendly and professional. Have been a few times and he always makes you feel welcome

Warm and friendly, great live music.

I’ll not bore you with all the nonsense that’s been written prior to this. Totally immaculate is how I’d describe this fine fine ale house. I would like to give my kindest, upmost respect to the young gentleman named Henry behind the bar, incredulously good service. Bowler hats off to all the welcoming staff. Especially to the light of the establishment henry. A wonderful charming man. I will gladly revisit this beautiful ale house. Purely for the generosity and impeccable manors of the staff. Good day kind sirs, I highly recommend a visit.

Favourite pub. Fab food, fun quiz and the staff are super friendly 😀

Great beer. Great atmosphere. X

Great staff great home made food, a great go to place of an evening! Always feel very welcome and taken care of!

Really like this pub been going a few times now. The bar staff are very welcoming and they have a good variety of drinks I especially like the real ale. We had a nice lunch at a very reasonable price might make this a regular stop off. I've been with my lads a few times now and they really like it as well. Will take a couple of photos next time and try to post them. I think this is probably the best pub in Sutton

Love the Tuns, friendly staff, quality beers, food good value for money, but.....the Samosas were AWFUL, to the extent that they were inedible!! The samosa bar is a franchise....much improvement needed.

Nice pub, which allows dogs and had friendly staff. A small selection of cask beer. Never ordered food but their menu seemed quite varied.

Excellent food !very friendly staff! especially Liam! he is a great asset to the Three Tons Spoke to the boss Mick! Happy Easter! X

Excellent food and service and the beards band were amazing. Great entertainment for a Friday night

Great food. Pies home made and taste brilliant

Lovely selection of draught Thwaites beers and a good atmosphere too. Good place for watching sport.

Lovely bar lovely beer lovely people and lovely food

Thank you so much Liam and Henry for a great Sunday afternoon xxx thank you for a gorgeous Sunday din dins it was absolutely beautiful xxx Sally Simone Donna and Tony

Great for real ale and TV sport. Nice and spacious.

Good sports bar with excellent ales. Not fine dining but the food is ok.

Beautiful food. Not been for over 25 yrssp glad we did. The waiter/barman Liam was friendly helpful and proffessional

Strangely empty midday Sunday. Good menu and food was great.

Great pub. Friendly staff and good food

Favourite pub ever. Need I say more.

The Three Tuns. Always going to be a difficult one for me to review but I have to say this was the best time I had in this pub in over 20 years. The ale was spot on, the service was friendly and efficient, The pub attracts a good mix of customers and on the night we visited had an excellent live band with a singer who was able to give plenty of good banter. After visiting Several other local pubs I can honestly say that this was the best in Sutton by a mile. The management should be proud.

What a great institution the British pub is ! The Three Tuns represents a “Local” at its best. Great cask ales, friendly locals, and a relaxing atmosphere. The bar staff are always welcoming and after only a few visits will be treating you as a friend. The food is pub grub at its best (plus some surprises) and is reasonably priced. Landlord Jack arranges weekend nights of live music with some of the best Midland’s bands and some great local musicians play on “open mic” nights. The history and architecture of this historic coaching inn is impressive, but, most of all, it is the best pub in Sutton Coldfield.

Been using other venues in Sutton Coldfield for pub grub this beets the horse and jockey and the weather-spoon. If you never tried go for it. The evening are great with live bands !! Good old traditional pub in Sutton Coldfield. Great bar staff a-swell will make you laugh and enjoy your visit !!!

It's been a while since I have been in here. One of my favourite haunts when I lived in the locality. Paul was a great manager and I'm sure he is missed. Toni, the lovely female bartender is still here and possesses her wonderful smile. The ales I used to enjoy here are to be no longer available (Wainwright's & Lancaster Bomber) so I opted for a similar one to the Bomber - Amber. Not too much of an amber colour, but great taste. Still a good crowd in here, but alas, not the same without the live music. Always a pleasure!

Stopped in here for dinner, with my wife and daughter, on a Sunday evening around 7:30. We easily found a table and ordered our meals at the bar. I got the fish and chips, my wife had the steak and ale pie and my daughter got the English breakfast. My wife really enjoyed the steak and ale pie and was pleasantly surprised to see that it came with a side of peas and carrots. My order of fish and chips came with a starch and a green. I chose chips and the vegetables. I also got peas and carrots plus some Brussels sprouts. I was disappointed that all of my food was not as hot as I would have liked when it arrived at the table. My daughter enjoyed her English breakfast. The prices were very reasonable. We would definitely return in the future.

We have just started visiting the Three Tuns since Christmas- after another of our favourite local pubs for food has become a chain with very average food. The food is fantastic- nice home cooked feel to it, we have eaten here about 6 times now and not had a bad meal. Great price, big portions and really really tasty! A new favourite of ours for when we don’t fancy cooking.

Built in the 1500's and now owned by Thwaites, it is still a traditional pub, comprising just 3 small rooms, and a covered passageway. They sell 4 Real Ales, and unusually 6 keg lagers. it is recommended by CAMRA. It has several TV screens showing Sky Sports, plus also free WiFi. There is live music of an evening, and it is also possible to book a "guest Musician" spot. The menu is very comprehensive with everything from Traditional "Pub Grub" to Tapas, Pasta,Curry etc. Not particularly cheap but good quality.

Our food was piping hot, tasty and just what was needed on a cold December night. Service was also great and the staff were very friendly!

I went there with my brother on a Monday lunchtime, there were very few people at that time. I haven't been in the Tuns since I watched the Rugby World Cup final in 2003 with a bunch of friends. There have been some dramatic changes since then, but all seem to the good. I found it very comfortable and nice and clean, my brother and me had a good laugh reminiscing about how we used to hang out there in the '60's. The guy behind the bar (possibly the landlord) was very friendly and took our orders with the minimum of fuss. I had scampi and chips, my brother the chilli. I was impressed by my chips, they looked hand cut and were nice and thick and the scampi were crisp, firm and piping hot. My brother enjoyed the chilli and really liked the sour cream dip. My only gripe is that his sour cream came in a pot, whereas the tartare sauce I wanted came in sachets. After our food we had a wander around looking at the photo's of Sutton of old. We're old enough to remember some of them, particularly the original parade. Before we left we both used the toilet and the mens at least was very clean. I can't comment on the ladies obviously. Based on our visit I'd be happy to recommend this pub to anyone. It has a fascinating history and you can read about it on the pubs website. It's the wrong end of Sutton for me, but if I'm ever up that end I'll make a point of popping in, even if it's only for a pint

Vist here on a regular basis to meet up with friends, staff are great, super range of beers wines and spirits, always a fabulous atmosphere, well worth a vsisit.

Good choice of real ales, very friendlyBar staff, but the food was disgusting,Chips cooked in stale oil, sandwiches unrecognisable from menu.Great venue for live music butEat elsewhere

Good pub. Quiet as a mortuary through the week but got plenty of live bands at weekend. This is a real local pub for local people in a league of gentlemen kind of way. Staff really chatty and friendly. Especially the geezer with the shaved head and weird hats behind the bar.

Decided to eat at The Three Tuns last night before the Busbys took to the stage and it was definitely the correct choice.The specials menu .... could have chosen every meal as they all sounded lovely. Two of us chose the chicken linguine, one had the vegetable cannelloni and one had the scampi. Absolutely delicious food, served in reasonable time and piping hot.Congrats to The Tuns and especially Brooks (the chef) .... see you again soon.

Have visited for lunch weekly for years as only work over the road. Over the last month the food has been hit & miss. Portions have been reduced & the quality is just not as it used to be. Cheese not melted on dishes & waiting time from ordering to receiving food has increased. Not good if your on you hours lunch break. Really disappointed as the food & service used to be fantastic.

We had a good evening enjoying the quiz. Not too busy, so not much of a wait for drinks. We ate a light supper and my lasagna wasn't great. However, I've eaten here many times and always enjoyed the food.Most weekends you can enjoy a live band. The pub is also popular with sports fans who enjoy live footie or cricket on the screen or for the more active a game of darts

Great old school pub with a good crown. There’s often great music and always happy people I would recommend this place to everyone.

Was summoned to the Jobcentre for basically nothing, thought we'd pop in for a drink, lovely clean place,nice pint,not very lively at 3pm, been here when bands play and the place rocks, great night out.

Superb atmosphere, ambience and history. Excellent food freshly cooked and great fiendly service. Good beers and various areas in which to eat or drink.

I normally pop in for the live music on a Saturday or lunch in the week when I'm over the road at Mother Of All Sins.

Excellent local pub that shows sports, has quizzes, open mic night, music and others. Quirky as split in two by covered alley. Serving good food and drink

Went with friends and family on Saturday night to hear some live music. The band looked ancient but rocked some good tunes. We also enjoyed the great real ales they had on offer. I recommend it especially on a Saturday night.

Used to bust the Tuns quite regularly and I have not been for a few months. Disappointed to see how shabby it is. On a cold night there was no heating at all everyone was wearing coats and the regulars were complaining about the lack of heating is the norm. It’s sad to see it in its current state as there are few good places in Sutton Coldfield

The search for the perfect Sunday roast is always ongoing but I think I've found mine. My wife and I have had three Sunday lunches at the Tuns in recent weeks so I feel well qualified to judge. I've had the beef, pork and yesterday, the turkey. All have been absolutely delicious. The quality of the meats has been excellent, carefully cooked and beautifully presented with the pork in particular being outstanding dressed as it is with the tastiest, mouth-watering crackling.

popped in for lunch today as i had a meeting in the morning close by. the pub was recommend for its beer and lunch time food.

Quirky layout with 3 or 4 areas separated by an alleyway that forms another part. Multiple TVs showing sport. Lots of different types of tables to sit at. Serves food and have eaten here before (good) but not this time Friendly and good service.

Hadnt been in this place for about 20 years and obviously some changes made. Firstly there was a roof over the cobbled footway between the 2 bars and a pleasant atmosphere which is always welcoming. The place is split into several smaller rooms with darts in one and TV showing sport in the other as well as the traditional bar and eating area.

If you're around Sutton Coldfield town and fancy a drink and a reasonably priced meal, try The Three Tuns, Sutton Coldfield. We went in early one weekday evening and ordered a snack that was excellent. They served Nachos as a starter, which was delicious and...

Visited yesterday for lunch,pleasantly surprised good value and service,the food was of good sized portions ,recommend All day breakfast and Prawn Mayo Jacket Potato great price for around a fiver each,the only let down was the coffee at £2.50 a small cup not worth that...

Lovely old coaching inn, serving a nice pint of Thwaite's ale. However the food is nothing special at all. The chicken pie was more like soup with a puff pastry crust and the special chicken dish was really sweet. Enjoy your pint but eat elsewhere.

Great pub. Really friendly staff and well kept beer. The DJ on Friday was awesome .... Highly recommended for a...

The Three Tuns in Sutton Coldfield is one pub I have always enjoyed visiting with its unusual character like an arcade of rooms connected together. I believe it is the oldest public house in Sutton Coldfield dating back to the 16th century.

Nos arreglamos para tener un cumpleaños reunirse con nuestra hija en la Three Tuns convenientemente ubicado en la estación de tren de Sutton Coldfield y a nuestras hijas funciona muy cerca.

Fuimos para el almuerzo del domingo. Tuve pastel de carne con cerveza, que es casero y está lleno de carne a fuego lento. Por patatas fritas y verduras Accompanned fue sin duda el mejor piemail que he probado. Gran variedad de cervezas y encantador edificio catalogado

Great pub and always enjoy it. Agree with another poster that the toilets can be a bit smelly. Good live music and good selection of beers.

A traditional pub in a building with history oozing out of it. Good range of ales and great food at a reasonable price. Good football pub and entertainment at weekends

This is a nice pub but not enough bar staff and weird German lager that you have never heard of are being served.....,,,,,,,,,,

Whilst visiting family I ate here 2 days in a row. Had the chilli con carne the first day and the chicken madras the second day. The bar staff were friendly, efficient & helpful. The food was great, especially for the price. I don't know if the food is produced from the raw ingredients on site but it certainly looks and tastes like it is. All too often pub food is deep frozen/deep fried or bought in from a food service wholesaler and simply reheated, which leads to a blandness of taste. This was genuinely good and I'd definitely eat here again.

Won't go in here again. Ladies toilets were dirty and the floor wet. The smell from the gents was worse!! Awful

This is a very agreeable town pub, where it is great to have a few pints whilst watching sport etc. Good atmosphere in a historic and interesting building with courtyard. Food however is secondary, so average on that count.

Some say this is Sutton's best pub. Hard to disagree. Food is decent and with four spaces to eat it you're spoilt for choice. Occasionally you get a good band performing. 1am finish for night owls.

The food here is generally good pub grub. I especially love the steak which comes with chips, peas and onion rings on the menu. I prefer to have mine with a baked potato and salad but there hasn't been ONE time that they have actually got the order correct! Its come out with steak and salad, no potato - steak and chips with salad, steak onion rings peas and baked potato no salad....I don't know why I keep ordering the steak to be honest, as they get everything else on the menu correct!!!!!Great friendly staff and nice pub, fab entertainment most nights too :)

The Three Tuns is the oldest coaching inn pub in Sutton Coldfield dating back to before the civil war. Many of the original historical features remain. The pub has two pleasant dining areas and a well stocked bar. Lunch is traditional pub grub, tasty ,good portions and well presented. Staff are friendly and helpful. Well worth a visit.
