The Old Contemptibles in Birmingham

Great atmosphere. Went on a Friday night and somehow they've managed to pull off the trick of having a very busy half and a more spacious half. Very clever. And even though they were busy I got served within a couple of minutes each time. And parking right outside after 7.30 was free! Excellent place to meet up with friends - next time I'll try the food. Highly recommended!

Spent an afternoon and evening here on Saturday to watch the 6 Nations rugby 🏉 final day of matches - Super Saturday together as a family during a weekend in Birmingham. Fantastic welcoming staff team that served drinks & food to the table for us & went out of their way to ensure we had a great time watching the rugby together. Good food & good selection of ales. Highly recommended.

Just been back for the second time to celebrate our anniversary. What can I say about this place as it is without doubt one of our favourite places to visit when we are in Brum. Nathan really looked after us and the customer service is first rate. Food is excellent with a great range of beers. Highly recommended. You won’t be disappointed!!!👍🏻

A pub with a relaxed atmosphere & a great selection of beers. Had many meals there over time, all beautifully cooked & presented. The staff are always pleasant.

First visit to the Old Contemptibles today for lunch OMG why did I not know about this pub before? Had lovely lunch with family, food was outstanding and service was fantastic. Cannot thank staff enough for making a family get together a memory for 2022. Rest assured we will be coming back soon.

Totally recommend this pub! Went there for lunch and the food was wonderful and so much of it! Atmosphere lovely and staff really nice.. Will definitely go again when in Birmingham 😃

The food was excellent, friendly staff and a fantastic old building with a brilliant background story. Well worth a visit if you're ever in Birmingham

I love this pub. Very friendly and inviting with a wide variety of choice. The food is fabulous and definitely value for money. We have been here on many occasions and will continue to frequent it when we in town. Highly recommended.

Called into this pub for a bite to eat with my friend whilst out in Birmingham. From outside we weren’t sure what to expect, but wow loved the way the inside looks. It’s fabulously dressed with hops and old wood. Really creates a great atmosphere. We both ordered food and few glasses of wine later, we had a fabulous afternoon here. Compliments to the kitchen on my food, I think it’s the best chicken salad I’ve ever eaten out. Looked like a high end restaurant meal. Just wow! We shall most definitely return and tell all our friends. Thanks to all.

Traditional pub located next to snow hill train station. Had 1 pint craft keg and 2 halves real ale when I visited. Decent beer selection maybe 8 or so real ales and the usual keg beers and 1 or 2 craft beers on tap. The 2 real ales which I had were both ok but served too warm for me. The purity session ipa was perfectly fine. The prices were very expensive in comparison to pubs within the local area. In future I will drink at alternatives and walk 5 minutes rather than here. All in all an OK pub, other than the price nothing was particularly good or bad.
