  “I recently visited Cherry Reds before going to the matinee show at the Alexandra Theatre. What a lovely place - super friendly and accommodating staff, great menu and coffee plus the largest selection of non-alcoholic beer I've encountered. Such a refreshing change for a driver!! Will definitely visit again when in the area.”

  “This is a fun spot with all day breakfast, burgers and a nice variety of meals. Great selection of beers as well including many low/alcohol free options. Staff is friendly and the whole place has a really nice laid back vibe. Definitely worth visiting when you’re in Birmingham!”

  “Nice location with inside and outside seating with tables. I had the buttermilk pancakes and maple syrup, which arrived quickly and confirm they were delicious.”

  “Having previously gone to the excellent Bonehead, I've been curious about visiting the place right next to it! From the moment I walked through the door, I felt a wonderful quirky atmosphere, thanks to the unique mix of real ale and craft beer, with an American red diner shine. The top floor of Cherry Red's regularly stages events such as Comedy nights, whilst the ground floor is for dining. The outside features small tables and pull- out chairs, allowing guests to enjoy the sun whilst dining. On the inside, the ground floor has a mix of large and small tables. For seating, the cafe has a comfy sofa, chairs and stalls. The food menu wonderfully caters to all tastes, with an extensive Vegan selection offering a tasty take on a Vegan Full English and delicious toppings for homemade American - style pancakes. Served up with the Vegan options, the cafe does great, thick burgers and rich homemade cakes. On the bar, the cafe has a very good number of spirits options, cocktails and boozy milkshakes. Joining the staple keg beers, the cafe has a great variety of real ale Cask beers and guests cans/ bottles, keg craft beers. For soft drinks, the cafe has Indie fizzy drinks, mocktails , milkshakes, specially teas, coffee and silky hot chocolates. Visiting on this occasion whilst waiting for a train, I went for a delicious slice of passion fruit cake and the Three C's ( chocolate, chill & cinnamon) hot chocolate. Not having had a hot drink with chilli before, I found the underlying, lingering heat of the chilli to be absolutely superb, with the chilli heat being paired with the aromatic cinnamon & creamy chocolate. Taking the last sip of the hot chocolate, I left for the train station with a cherry/ cheerful smile on my face.”

  “I've never been to Cherry Reds before, but I will be returning. I love craft beer which they serve both on tap (keg & cask) and in cans at reasonable prices for a city centre establishment. The food was also excellent, I had an all day breakfast. They have vegan alternatives as well. On a side note, I also enjoyed the music that was being played.”

  “Love this place. It feels cosy, relaxing and generally has a good vibe. It's a quirky venue, a bit alternative and different to the mainstream...my cup of tea for sure! It's independent and welcoming to all.”

  “They pour the beer without sparklers here and the Pale Brummie turns out to be the best pint of the day. Great service and a worthy entry in the Good Beer Guide. The food offer looks irresistible and I’ll have to return soon to sample it.”

  “Excellent food at affordable prices! A surprising amount of seating upstairs and a great atmosphere. We had the hash (with goat cheese), a fish finger roll, the day's homemade soup (leek and potato) with a roll, and a triple stack of pancakes with added bacon and egg. The rolls were seriously yummy as they seemed to have toasted/fried them in butter or something 🤤 I'd also recommend the Mexican hot chocolate 🫶”

  “About a 3rd of the menu is vegan! Great find in central Birmingham, a stone's throw from New Street train station. This place is great value for money, with very filling portions! Service was (and has been every time we've been) prompt even though they were busy. Highlights include the tasty seasoned batter on the cauliflower wings, and the quality of the chips. However, the meaty option of fried chicken pancakes left something to be desired as they were a little dry without the maple syrup accompaniment, and could do with more toppings besides the chicken - advertised with peppers and had only two pieces! Would even sacrifice a piece of chicken in favour of a more well rounded topping offering. In addition, I personally wish people would stop serving food on paper when you use a knife and fork though - I'm not in it for the paper - I'm in it for the tasty grub. Would recommend highly, and will certainly visit again!”
