The Ruin

This pub is a little gem in back street Digbeth. It's both quirky and cosy. Modern and traditional. You could take your coolest mates or your mum. I have been going on and off for several years. My dad used to drink here in the 50s and 60s. The staff are friendly, there is a good choice of local craft beers and a couple of ales. Prices are around average for central Birmingham, the food looks good and there were a few people eating. We found a cosy corner in the bar, it was busy but not loud. There is a covered yard and a roof top seating area as well. All in all, a great pub.

Absolutely love it here poped in on a Sunday with the dog staff very friendly and food is lush 😋 highly recommend the Sunday roast dinner awesome portions you won't leave hungry after one from here. Very nice roof top terrace to sit back and chillax. A vibrant pub with the feel of home will definitely be back again keep up the amazing work Big love kimbo

A very interesting venue, the decor is vintage mixed with retro. Which I personally loved. The service was excellent, all the staff were friendly. The building had a lot of different areas; multiple smoking areas including in and outdoor with a roof balcony seating area. They have awesome artwork on the walls outside. I imagine this venue would be completely different in the afternoon to the nightime. The food was nice, some items nicer than others but overall was a good experience. Could of been better on the food but overall was a lovely time and we were catered to very well.

my first time going out by myself as a woman (22y) in Birmingham and it's really a great place, I'm really happy with my choice of going here as my first place alone. it's safe, comfortable, fun, amazing kind staff, bartender was lovely. I suffer from social anxiety so it's hard for me to go out and enjoy my time somewhere out and The Ruin was perfect. I was up in the smoking area and it's really chill, good atmosphere and great! I'm not used to going out to drink but I had a Moscow Mule for 8 quid and for the amount of the drink and everything included I say it's a fair price but I'm not familiar with drink prices so I can't say confidently it's the best price out there but definitely worth it 👌👌 Thank you for a good first experience c:

Came to the ruin without knowing what the place was, without a recommendation and only because the outdoor venue we planned to visit was called off due to the rain… SO glad that happened! Great atmosphere, great staff, extremely individual and the pop up food kitchen had the BEST beef tacos going and deserve a Permanent spot of their own! Music already on at midday with DJ’s through the Saturday!
