Figure of Eight

This Weatherspoons pub is good for meeting friends in town before heading off elsewhere. It’s always busy especially in the evening and lively atmosphere. What you see is what you get in Wetherspoons, but despite the fact that this pub always seems busy, the service is usually very efficient, drinks are reasonable and food is not the best but good value.

Pretty standard weatherspoons setup but with a decent garden out the back that you would not expect to be there. If you want a cheap pint and a decent beer garden in the Broard street area this place is a surprising winner.
As this place is also pretty close to my house I have also found myself here for the occasional breakfast…£5 for a two of everything… can’t complain really. It’s not the best quality but when you are not feeling your best on a Sunday morning it’s a decent option. The staff are always pretty friendly and it’s never picked to the point where you can’t get a seat. There’s a time and a place for a spoons and as they go this one is not so bad.

This pub needs a refurbishment as the place is looking shabby but the layout is great because the pub is quite large and there are some nice quiet areas.
But then the shabbiness is also very fitting Its a running theme and suits the character of the place. The staff on Monday evening was very customer orientated he explained that he didn’t have any beef left for a special burns night burger i wanted, but could make it with chicken instead. This is a weatherspoon pub so i never expect the food to be great but for what it is and the cheap cheap price its very good value for money. Most Meals also come with a drink included.
All the drinks are good and very cheap £2.19 for a pint of Guinness on a monday night. Overall the food was not great but filled a hole the staff were very efficient and friendly and we felt very welcome. Its shabby but very cosy and warm indeed. You can also pay via apple pay/​contactless which makes life easier and faster!

L’endroit est connu des locaux pour ses petits-​déjeuners (servis jusqu’à midi) bon marché. J’ai pris le Large traditional breakfast qui vous rassasiera jusqu’à l’heure du goûter pour à peine 6 € ! L’ambiance est très anglaise et décontractée, même le matin. Le service n’est pas particulièrement agréable, la nourriture pas si délicieuse, mais si on considère l’expérience d’un point de vue culturel et que l’on cherche à manger pour pas cher, ça vaut le coup !

A fairly typical dump in any place type of Weather spoons but convenient for Broad Street .Was surprised at the limited range of brews on offer but service was good. Will be a while before I bother again.

I always stop buy for a pint when I am in town. They have a decent selection of cask ales as well as bottled beer. It is a larger place and nice to have drinks in larger groups. It has a nice feel to it and the staff always seems to be very friendly. I am American and have had staff members at different times ask me which state I was from or engage in pleasant conversation about various topics.

Visited here a few times and each time the food is cheap and cheerful and the burgers and hotdogs are great along with quality drinks.
The bar and restaurant area are clean but could do with more floor staff to clean away plates and glasses during busy periods.
The toilets need a little attention but this is more due to the people using them leaving them in a state than the staff but the checked every hour DOES NOT happen so please take this rota down.

Even though I was super hungry, the fish and chips here were exceptionally good, especially for a pub. The afternoon special was a really good deal. Under six pounds for a Thatchers and a big portion of Fish and Chips… can’t really beat that!

Perfect place for cheap food and drinks! Even if they always run out of something (glasses, ice, ketchup…). It is also nice their beer garden during the sunny days.

Figure of Eight has soon turned into my Birmingham Local.
It is a weatherspoons, meaning it has delicious food at low prices and great deal. Which as a student with little money is perfect! Also as a veggie options are limited but there burger is one of the best and £3.99 for burger, chips and a drink. Cheap, but very yummy. There drinks are also cheap and always seem to have great offers
The amount of times i go here it is just a good job i go to the gym!

I came here to meet my Girlfriend and her colleagues after work on a Friday night. I arrived at the pub and it was about 7pm and everyone in there was wearing work apparel and was very drunk.
The Figure of Eight is cheap for food; a burger and a pint are around a fiver. In this part of town a kebab usually costs more than this. So if you are hungry and need to whet the whistle then look no further.
The pub has around 7 gambling machines scattered around the floor. I’ve never seen gambling machines as a good idea, because I’ve only ever seen people put money into them but never take money back. Yet, these machines seemed to be quite popular with the droning masses that were in attendance that May evening.
They also had a quiz machine with around 15 people all shouting out different answers around it. I love quiz machines, but only ever on my own or with a mate. The phrase ‘Too many cooks spoil the broth’ leaps to mind.
I was driving on this occasion so I couldn’t drink any alcohol. Once I have one I can’t stop and I didn’t fancy spending the next morning in court, so I asked the unfriendly bartender for a half pint glass of coke. I was a bit shocked when I got back a few coppers from 3 pound coins. Made me wish I had a drink, and plenty was on offer, but I had to make a choice and I chose not to drink. Maybe this place is better when under the influence, maybe it’s not. Who knows? Who cares? I do.

A standard Wetherspoons, Figure of Eight offers the same great deals you would expect to find amongst other ‘spoons throughout the country.
Situated on Broad Street, this particular Wetherspoons had a much more lively feel to it, solely down to its location.
Despite this, it still provides all the same deals, including, ‘beer and a burger’ for £4.99 (depending on your choice of burger), your traditional full English breakfast for £2.99, a cup of coffee for 99p and finally, a favourite of mine, a pint of Carlsberg for £1.99.
These deals aren’t matched in many places throughout Birmingham, or even the country, so this specific Wetherspoons seems to have it all.
On a Friday and Saturday it can get extremely busy, but that just adds to the whole atmosphere, making it a great place to catch up with friends, or meet up before a night out.

This Wetherspoons is a hellhole (2000 people in a seething, roaring, shouting mass!) with a long queue outside on friday and saturday nights. And I have this in mind as I review it, even though I’d never dare step inside (even if i could) on those nights.
Daytime, quieter time, I found 8 real ales. Of the four novelties I went for Springhead by Springhead, a decent pint. Outside, though a bit on the cold side to sit and admire right now, the decent sized beer garden with its tinkling fountain is rather nice.
So worth a look except when everyone else is looking!

The Figure Of Eight on Broad Street is a fairly typical, no-​frills Wetherspoons pub. No matter where you go, Wetherspoons always seem to attract the same sort of crowd. Despite its location on what is perhaps Birmingham’s most notoriously rowdy drinking crawls, the atmosphere inside The Figure Of Eight remains civil and mostly free of disturbance.
It can get a bit crowded at times, but if you’re looking for somewhere with a good range of beers, wines and spirits at a reasonable price, you could do far worse than The Figure Of Eight. The food, similarly, is your standard Wetherspoons menu, with a good variety of meals to suit any degree of hunger and spending budget. There’s even a beer garden out the back for when the weather’s nice.
Not a bad place if you fancy a stress-​free drink, although I have to wonder what someone wanting to avoid stress would be doing anywhere near Broad Street in the first place.

Figure of Eight is a wetherspoons on broad street. Its serves the usual wide selection of drinks including european bottled beers at a good price. the food is quite nice, the minted lamb burgers are especially good and doubling the burger for an extra pound makes it great value. Its a good place to begin an evening out with some cheap food and drinks. the bar is very comfortable but on friday and saturday nights it is sometimes full of angry people. One member of the staff isn’t very friendly either.

Is a Wetherspoons with decent cheap food. Nice on weekday evenings but gets packed at the weekends (standing room only).
Smoking area at rear.

Like most weatherspoons drinks are reasonable and it is good for a cheap pub lunch.
The Figure of Eight has plenty of places to sit and has a great beer garden which is good in the summer.
Good for breakfast, lunch time or after work drinks.
You will find a wide variety of people in here.

Wetherspoons pub on Broad Street in Birmingham. As with any Broad Street pub, weekend evenings are ridiculous, but it’s as good a place as I’ve found to go for Saturday or SUnday morning breakfast after a night out.

A very popular pub especially on a weekend. Food is usual Wetherspoons standard so cheap and cheerful. The tables can be a bit sticky but are usually cleaned if you ask. Good place for cheapish drinks!

The Figure of Eight offers a great beer garden tucked away from the bustle of the city, and very good food and drink for its low prices when it is quiet. A large pub with plenty of places to sit, talk and eat proves popular with students and workers of all ages. However of a weekend this otherwise great pub degrades massively with the numbers, food is late and often of poor standard, ill mannered security become exceedingly picky with allowing entry to people they had waved through the day (or hours) before and the atmosphere dives.
Great for a bite in the weekday (especially outside in the sun!), avoid like the plague of a weekend!
