This pub represents the true rock origin of Birmingham, quality rock music, cozy atmosphere, very clean, organised and well decorated that will make you travel back in time. Staff very friendly. If you like rock this is the place.

Awesome little alternative pub with a good atmosphere and friendly nbar staff and downstairs is a tiny room for live music, it's probably about 50-75 people max cap but great for a really personal show.

A good rock bar with an intimate venue downstairs. Quiet during the day and lively later on. Cocktails are strong and 2 for £10. They don't have a huge selection of draft, though some ale available in bottles. Burgers are amazing!

It's a shame to see what was once Birminghams top rock pub by far, being ran into the ground by people who don't seem to care. I think it would be unreasonable to expect it to be like it was in the early 2000s when the place was heaving both up stairs and downstairs. The cost of living definitely has an effect on the amount of people going out on a regular basis, but it seems like there's no pride or care in the place anymore which is a big reason the place is usually almost empty on a Saturday night. Some weekends they have a DJ who plays a very limited selection of songs that their friends like, but most weekends it's just a juke box with people putting on multiple songs of the same band in a row. You'll inevitably get people queuing up Venga boys, Britney spears and the likes which play in full, but if you pay for some really heavy stuff to play on the juke box, the bar staff skip the songs because apparently S-club is favourable in a rock and metal venue. Back in the day Scruffies was probably the best metal venue in the entire country. The place was absolutely legendary! But now its just a shell of its former self, barely living in its own shadow and its a disservice to the Birmingham rock scene.

My favourite bar in Brum! Crispy clean lines, great selection of drinks, friendly staff, great owner and fantastic security! Clean ice!!! A great juke box, live bands and a pool table - what could be better! As a woman I feel very safe in this bar even on my own.

Had my first beer here 40 years ago used to be a regular here for many years. I had a business in the same complex for 23 years. I know the rents here are low the centre will part of a new development. So I really can't see how 6 pounds a pint of beer is justified

If you love metal, this is the place to be. Great music all hours and just what you expect to see in a rock and metal bar. Guitars and rock memorabilia all over the place.

Best rock bar in Birmingham BY FAR! Fantastic cocktails, great staff, decent prices. Definitely my go-to boozer in Brum <3 (Burgers ain't bad either)

Alternative music, Cocktails and great service 🖤 loved it!!

A friend recommended this place. I enjoyed the atmosphere, it looked very cool inside. In a great central location. It was a bit expensive for me but I say that about most pubs - I didn't pay more than I would've in any other city centre pub. That and how loud the music was inside (had to sit outside as I wanted to be able to speak with my friends) are the only reasons I gave 4/5 stars. Would like to visit again, spend more time and maybe try the food. I like that it's not a chain, I prefer going to independent places. Apart from the somewhat small main room there is also a downstairs and some outside seating. Definitely recommended if you're looking for somewhere cool to have a drink at around the centre.

Poor selection of beer at high prices. Great music through a poor sounding PA system. Worth a visit for great atmosphere, raid the piggy bank first and be prepared to shout as the evening wears on.

If you like to rock out it's the only place in Birmingham that is made for your musical needs 🤘

What a lovely pub! We went there after seeing MIW at the o2 academy! Best way to end the night..... lovely staff and the dj played really good tunes!

If you like metal music this is one of the places you should go for a drink. I went for the first time in years and it was as good as I remember. I won't leave it so long until my next visit.

Staff were friendly, nice atmosphere. Great prices and clean looking toilets.

Goes without saying I'll always give Scruffys 5 stars love going here for drinks and meeting up with friends. Definitely a good place to go if you're into rock music. Staff are also kind and cheerful 🖤

Paid this place a visit because of a group of people I was with otherwise it would've gone under my radar. If you like heavy rock, this is a great place to go to.

This is one of the few remaining indie bars in town, they have live bands on regularly and there's a well stocked Juke box for other times. The customers when we visited were mainly heavy rockers who were all enjoying their night out. There is a pool table and if you prefer it you can drink your beer from the bottle. We will be checking their website to catch a band in the near future.

Nice atmosphere Good place if you're looking for rock and heavy metal

Love it! Great pub, amazing decor with plenty of acknowledgement to the classic Rock and Metal of years gone by. Favourite pub in Birmingham been a few times ❤❤

Great place, nice look and feel. The price of a strongbow dark fruit is a bit steep at 4.80. Not very busy though it was a week day. It was always great on the weekend and full of people. Hopefully it's still the same at the weekend. Will have to pop back, hopefully some of the other drinks are better value.
