A pub but with an Indian twist. Near the home of West Bromwich Albion Football club and the perfect place for a pint and a mixed grill before kickoff time. Atmosphere is loud and not really or the faint hearted. Majority of customers are men and therefore being a lady visiting could be quite daunting.
This place is famous for its mixed grills and it does not disappoint. Don’t expect amazing service this place is basic, you have to get your own food and drinks from the bar or kitchen but it is more than made up on the fact that the price is amazingly cheap. Four about £20 you can easily get a mountain of meat to feed 6 people without problem. The food is BBQ therefore you will get the odd to well charred lamb chop but on the whole well worth the money. The naan bread is amazing when hot and is best used to wrap the sheesh kebab to make a kebab roll.
To feed a group of friends on the cheap visit this place- if you don’t like noise, banter or meat at all costs.
Limited food on the menu due to them not having majority of it in stock, however the food we did have was very nice. The pudding I ordered was delicious though.
I ordered fish and chips but the staff didn't ask me if I'd like garden or mushy.
Also Waited a while at the bar to order my drinks.
Best pub food I’ve had in a long time. Very well priced. Free parking when you eat. The waiting staff were very accommodating to 3 adults and 4 children under 4. They provided colouring paper and crayons without request and made the visit “5 star”. The trainee taking orders that day was super friendly and the woman I can only assume was the team leader made sure it ran smoothly. She even chased us down after we left a bag behind. Will visit again. Thanks
To watch the footy on the big screen and have a decent beer but a bit pricey. Food selection has a good variety of small plate to larger appetites. There is table service for drink orders as it gets busier and it is quick. There is a down load app to make ordering easier of the food menu and its straightforward to use. Staff were friendly and efficient and service pretty quick. Enjoyed the experience and the entertainment. Some Saturdays theg have live music and a band on which makes for a good night out.
Came here on Tuesday evening to meet a friend for food.
First impressions good. Nicely decorated and clean. We sat in one of the large booths by the bar with a TV.
Not very busy with it being a Tuesday.
Ladies toilets were clean which is always important!
The menu has a great, varied choice. I opted for 3 of the tapas dishes for £13. I had the melted cheese sticks, chicken Quesadillas and dirty fries. My friend opted for the chicken breast burger but unfortunately, after ordering, a member of staff informed us that they didn't have any chicken breasts so she had the beef burger instead.
All food was good and we didn't have to wait long.
Staff were friendly.
A couple of improvements would make this a 5 star review:
Ensure that sauces are on the table and that they are full as we had to ask for sauces.
We had to ask for cutlery and napkins after our food was bought out.
The large soft drinks were not really large. Would be good to offer a pint of soft drink as a large drink.
As we were driving, I didn't really look at the choice of alcohol on offer.
Overall a nice experience and would definitely return.
I drink here Fri and Sat evenings for a couple of hours. The staff are superb and a credit to the management team. They are watchful , helpful and still manage to smile under pressure. There’s been a huge improvement since the opening when it’s understandable that they were getting used to things. Keep up the good work, you’re appreciated.
I'd stopped coming to this pub when it was the vine, due to the sour faces and eye rolling from some of the staff and the food had taken a nose dive! Now its been taken over some of more pleasant previous staff have been kept on and the foods 100% improved well done 👏 and the decor is stylish clean and now the best in any Harborne pub top marks!!
Absolutely fantastic place with top-notch staff. Management are absolutely fantastic and we loved the Halloween decorations will absolutely be returning for yet another fantastic five star meal thank you
We were served by the most amazing waitress yesterday at O'Neil harborne. Her service was next to nothing 100% as worked in customer service HR she delivered the most amazing service, so kind, accommodating, friendly and goes the extra mile. Her name is Helen and is a credit to the team 💯
I visit the O'Neills in Harborne fairly regularly since it's refresh from the Sizzling, it looks and feels fresh and great atmosphere. So time for a review!
Drinks - Wide selection at the bar to pick from, always served cold and fresh. Bonus having happy hour during the week 5pm - 8pm too. Plenty of offers in the app to pick from, with no issues using them at the bar. Table ordering in the app can be a little glitchy though, so best used at the bar if can.
Food - Didn't order food on this visit, but have done many times previously so commenting on those visits. Food always served piping hot, fresh and with plenty to pick from. Very occasionally the odd item isn't available - but plenty else there. Highly recommend the lunch & drink menu where can get a meal and drink for around £6.75 / £7.75 if a pint. Top choices typically are the southern fried chicken flatbread and the fish and chips for me!
Atmosphere - Clean, fresh and welcoming. Music during the day at a comfortable level to be able to work, lots of plug sockets available all round the place to charge phone / laptop etc. Toilets always well kept and looked after. Weekend evenings, the live entertainment is well worth checking out too. Added bonus is the awesome garden - plenty of space, with shelters and covered areas to stay out during the more "British weather".
WiFi - Works perfectly - according to Speedtest get 48.1Mbps download / 12.7 Mbps upload on laptop. No issues at all with using a somewhere to catch up with work.
Parking - Wasn't going to comment on this as don't drive to the pub - Google reviews suggestion of parking topic have come back to add it.. There is lots behind the place, free to use for customers - but be sure to register number plate on the tablet at the bar.
Staff - Always happy and welcoming with no exceptions. Quick to sort anything need with a smile! Can't fault at all, and go above and beyond every time. On the later visits, the door staff are also notably friendly, fair and professional to keep the venue safe and fun.
Overall... 10/10 (+ more). Keep it up, doing great!
Didn't try the food but the staff were friendly and hospitable,would drink in here regularly if I lived local, also dog friendly which is a good plus, nice beer garden for the summer aswell
A great find. The food is good and not a bad price, especially on the lunch menu. I was a little surprised to find the large Pepsi not in a pint glass given the cost.. that said, really friendly staff, great decor and music.
Came here as the Vine, totally different in a very good way! The place wonderfully clean and accommodates for each and everyone, football and bands! The food is lovely, portions are very generous. The bar staff are so friendly and very welcoming and helpful, the numerous times, my friends and I have visited, Susan, Holly and Olly were working amongst all the other brilliant staff so excuse me if I haven’t put your name. Would say this is fast becoming the place to visit!
I have been here twice now and the service has been 10 out of 10.
The jerk mac and cheese burger is so so good I had this the second time I went there, we got the two for one so had two burger meals for the price of one. Can’t get better than that. The crispy battered prawns were delicious alongside the fries that came with them too.
I’m actually heading there now for a few drinks.
I love the place !!!
Huge thanks to Helen! She was so cool and made us feel really welcome. Great atmosphere and great evening 🥳
My partner and I love the transformation of this place. From the moment you walk in you are greeted with a friendly smile, and approached as if you are friends. One team member especially sticks out for us. Her name is Susan, but we call her Heather Small.
The food is lovely, reasonably priced, the ambience and setting is welcoming. Would recommend to everyone.
Desperate for a late mother's day evening meal we pulled in at this pub. Didn't look too bright inside and view through an open door by the bar showed a lot of rubbish stacked in the corridor. There were no roast meals available, as that was only for lunchtime, or the special meals on a separate menu so my husband chose a steak (which came out sizzling on a platter) and the rest of us had fish and chips which were piping hot and freshly cooked. The meals were great and a large fish meal that one of us ordered turned out to be two very large pieces of fish which he couldn't eat. Staff were kind enough to put it in a box to take home. Moral is don't judge a book by its covers. The meal was nicer than an identical meal we had at our hotel on a previous day and only half the price.
Helen was so helpful, really made sure we had a great night catching up with friends. Would definitely return!
Came as a group/family for a birthday celebration- food and service was great. Compliments to the chefs, even though we weren't sure of their names their service was excellent; a long with Helen and Reece.
