Penny Black's in Birmingham

Horrible... I tried to buy a pint but they didn't accept cash!!! Ridiculous!

We just want to say it was fab to see the best cocktail bar in Birmingham open again big up love Bally & Sat we had a lush time Christmas x

Good place for sport. Tables for 24 reserved which was great. Good range of beer and wine. Drinks service was good. Food choice was limited. Burgers, hot dogs, pizzas etc but all pretty good. Let down by very poor food service. Some were waiting for well over an hour while others got food within 10 min. No explanation and we had to ask what was going on and how long it would be on a number of occasions.

Good spot. Right in town and they have all the games, whether you play a bit or you do more watching these days. Ita on the canal so really has the Birmingham vibe ready to dip into whenever you feel like it. One of my top spots if I am honest. Great service great drinks and enough space for everyone.

First visit was ok. Midweek fairly quiet watched women's world cup semi. Drinks were ok but a bit pricey. Didn't have anything to eat but it looked well presented and appetising. Will revisit maybe on a weekend to get a better feel of the place.

Went for pre meal drinks last night at around 5-30, 6 of us, 4 visiting from Derby, night out planned months ago. A member of out party was feeling under the weather but soldiered on, was just drinking water, had to dash to the loo to be ill, gents full so dashed in the ladies to be told he could not go in, he explained he was going to be sick, but no not allowed so dashed back in the gents and unfortunately the only place was the urinal, Let's just say we were very surprised to be asked to leave immediately, the lady showed no empathy at all for our ill friend. So folks should you become ill and god forbid need a paramedic expect to be asked to take you illness else where. She was so rude assuming he was drunk, he was pale and clammy but she still ranted on at him. Manager check the CCTV and bar receipt there was 3 alcoholic drinks and one soda water, one soda and lime and a water for the gentlemen that felt off it. Disgusted with you customer service and care will not be returning.

Excellent value for food. My steak tasted great (medium rare).

Overpriced and nothing special. The music is mediocre and the atmosphere is neither here nor there. It's full of lads looking to get lucky but that's about it. Disappointing.

This is a bar for youngsters. Aimed at sports like pool cocktails and world beers are served by enthusiastic staff. We came on the cocktail weekend so had the set drink which I must admit was good would come again on a hot day for a cold beer and sit outside by the canal views

Great views,Very relaxed atmosphere, lovely place but bar staff wasn't up on the knowledge of there drinks or mixers. Also the price for food is shocking.
