About Hennessey's Bar

Hennessey's Bar is an independent, family-run bar and grill in Birmingham, at 30-31 Allison St, set up around watching live sport. Screens run through the main bar and dining area, and a 10-foot screen outdoors extends the viewing for football, World Cup matches and Cheltenham Festival racing. The kitchen serves pub food including burgers, and a Sunday roast is on the menu. Guinness is poured at the bar. A Basement Bar is available for private hire, which gives groups a separate room for celebrations and corporate events. Dogs are welcome. The bar sits round the corner from Moor Street station.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers come mostly for live sport, singling out the multiple indoor screens and the large outdoor screen, with the World Cup, a cup final and the Cheltenham Gold Cup all named as busy, lively viewings. Close behind is the food, where diners mention Sunday roasts, a burger meal, a tender meal and generous pub portions, along with Guinness and good coffee. Several praise friendly, efficient bar service, and one notes discounted food on weekdays. The main caveat is consistency: one reviewer finds some staff friendlier and quicker than others, and another mentions a wait for food during a big match. One reviewer who pre-booked for the cup final was glad they had, since the place was buzzing, and another is told it fills up when Small Heath are at home.

    “What a cracking place to watch the football and have a delicious Sunday lunch, definitely recommend 👍🏼”
  • Neha
    “Amazing spot! I have been watching the World Cup here and it’s been great. Amazing staff and amenities. There’s a large outdoor screen and multiple screens indoor. Indoor space is also air conditioned which is great. Food variety is good and drinks are great too!”
  • Wullie Wright
    “Excellent. Round the corner from Moor Street station, and screens aplenty. Decent menu (including Sunday roasts) and I was impressed with the efficiency of services. Also has a massive screen in an outdoor area, bonus in hot summers like this one. I'm told it's packed when Small Heath are at home, though.”
  • Mez & Luciana
    “Great Sports Bar, highly recommend. The set up for the current World Cup is really good. Multiple Screens inside main bar and dining area, out the back a really large area with plenty of seating a separate bar, and giant screen. Watched Brazil v Japan there yesterday and it was a fantastic atmosphere. 💯👌 (Congratulations Brazil 🇧🇷 👏⚽️)”
