Quick info
About Scott Arms
Scott Arms is a pub, bar and sports bar on Newton Rd in Birmingham, set up for customers watching football matches, including Villa and the Baggies fixtures. Beer is the mainstay behind the bar, drawn from a short menu of three items. The entrance is step-free and wheelchair-accessible, opening the pub to visitors with mobility needs, and outdoor seating gives an option for those who prefer to sit outside. Dogs are welcome on the premises. The pub opens daily, and reservations are recommended for those planning a visit around a match. Reports on food vary, with some customers describing an all day breakfast on offer while others say no food is served at all, so it is worth checking ahead if a meal is part of the plan.

Customer Review Summary
The all day breakfast draws repeated praise, with reviewers calling it one of the best they've had and saying they'd return just for it. Close behind is the pub's standing as a spot to watch football, including mentions of watching Villa and the Baggies, and the chicken cheese and bacon burger with chips gets singled out as a good food order alongside a deal of two meals and four soft drinks for sixteen pounds. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and welcoming, with one reviewer noting a waitress turned down loud music on request. Complaints surface too: one reviewer found the menu had run out of most things, another calls the pub "a bit low rent" with little to offer, and two others note that food isn't served there at all, though they still rate the atmosphere highly for football and drinks. Several describe it as a good, clean spot for a casual pint with a workingman's atmosphere.
