    Bottomless brunch was amazing for the service and drinks. I was a little disappointed with Chicken Quesadilla meal, as it was very small and didn't have a lot of filling. However the full breakfast and the cheese burger options were large portions and looked delicious. Also bottomless brunch is more about drinks which were lovely. It was also nice that some of us could upgrade and that the whole table didn't have to.

    A very good looking All Bar One. Great location, on the water, and very nicely done inside. We ordered through the app, and we were the only ones in there, but it was impressively quick. Both for the food and the drink. Tasty, good value for money.

    Generous portions and tasty food. I had a really interesting superfood salad. Unsure they are used to pensioners eating there? The toilets are very dark for someone partially sighted

    Celebrated my graduation here last night and I honestly cannot recommend this place enough. I reserved a private area upstairs for 25 people which had a private bar. I received outstanding customer service from Charlotte and Jenny in the planning stages. Fantastic delivery of service on the night from Jo on the bar and the rest of the team who helped out. The kitchen absolutely delivered aswell everyone enjoyed their meals. We moved downstairs later on in the night to enjoy the DJ who was playing all the good tunes to keep everyone dancing. Doormen were also fantastic very polite and helpful. Overall I can see this place has an amazing team who can work together and deliver exceptional service!! Thank you all for a night to remember!!

    First time visit to All Bar One at Brindley place this afternoon, lured away my usual route into the city centre by an offer on the drink and has failed to disappoint. The bar was quiet at this time of day (around 2pm), but plenty of staff to around with no waiting around to be served. Those who served were all friendly, polite, and felt unrushed to chose my drink from the wide selection available. All of the other staff also come across as happy to be there, and keeping the place tidy as go along. Sat inside for most of the visit, where the music was at a comfortable level, air conditioned and felt relaxed throughout entire visit. Modern and trendy atmosphere to the place. The outside seating area looks nice too, with the plants surrounding it to separate it from the the busy Brindley Place main area making it a little more private when sitting outside. I did not eat here, so can't comment personally on the food. But had a flick through the menu and there is plenty of choice. Others orders coming out looked pretty decent though, will consider having food sometime in the future and update the review more then. Toilets were clean, fresh smell and generally well kept. Nice touch to have a moisturiser available too at the sinks! Did spot one of the soap is missing, but the other sink had plenty so not a problem. Only issue from entire visit really is the O2 WiFi, it was so slow to load anything that I couldn't use it and had to tether laptop to mobile phone instead. Could do with it being taken a look at, as the bar was quiet so doubt many were using it. Does not impact my rating as had my mobile to hand as a fall back though. Spotted a small but tempting selection of cakes at the end of the bar - may have to try these at some point when passing for a coffee! Enjoyed my visit, and will be very happy to return!

    Booked for bottomless brunch and was impressed with the quality of the food and the portions. The Prosecco and cocktails went down really well. Our waiter, Jordan was an absolute diamond and couldn’t have wished for better service, he really looked after us. Overall a really lovely afternoon

    I went for their bottomless and we had a great time. Apologies for the lack of pictures, but we were just too busy having a good time 😊 My friend has some severe allergies, but our host Flo was fantastic at explaining the menu and ensured there was no risk. We both went for the classic full English and it was great. 🍳 The poached eggs were perfectly runny, sausages and bacon good quality, and we loved not having bean juice leaking all over the plate 🥓 Our only criticism of the food would be the tomato was undercooked for our liking (seemed like it had barely touched the pan) and the beans were quite runny. But in fairness, I cook my beans low and slow so they go all sticky. It’s the only way 👌🏽 For £35 you also get 90 minutes of unlimited Prosecco, G&T, Aperol spritz or a choice of flavoured daiquiris 🍸 We stuck with daiquiris and enjoyed every last one. Flo was on it with orders and the bar staff were really hot on getting the drinks made. We even hung around after our time was up for espressos which were also fab. We wanted to go for bottomless at an indi, but we couldn’t find one mid week. All Bar One didn’t let us down though and I’d definitely go back again.

    I have been to this bar countless of times , each time there is exceptional service and the drinks and food are amazing. There is always a great service from Alex, who has served us many times. And he makes the most amazing French martinis!

    A very disappointing new years meal, two beyond vegan burgers and two chips I had ordered came out of the kitchen cold. The fish and chips well the fish was hot and the chips were lukewarm. So I sent the four meals back. However, the second time round the meals was just as bad as the first time. The beyond burgers tasted and felt like they had been reheated in the microwave and some of the chips were still unevenly cooked. The waiting staff were great so I have given one star to them. The manager Jo was very helpful and sorted out drinks for my three guests and said she would refund the meals as this was unacceptable. Well looking at my bank statement this morning she had refunded the money on the Saturday night, and recharged me for the meals on the Sunday. Thank you Jo great customer service not. I encourage you all not to eat at this bar shocking!! how can the person in the kitchen get these meals so wrong?? All my years of working in the food establishment I have never been so disgusted as I am with this bar. I have two words to you Jo, DO BETTER.

    Like this place, it's a typical all bar one but the service was good after using the app to order and there's a decent range of drinks on offer. The location is great as there are a range of bars nearby and it's right by the canal too. Only complaint was no heaters outside and it was freezing. Given the price of fuel currently though, I can't really blame them!

    Went for a drink on a night out, standing at the bad waiting to order to be told by a waiter that they are not serving from the side of the bar that we are stood at. Which is perfectly fine and I appreciated that I then stand to the left waiting to be served to then see the same man serving about 10 minutes later a number of drinks to someone stood at the bar that which is apparently not serving. I asked him I thought you was not serving from this side he then responded ‘I’m not’ ‘they ordered earlier’ I do not appreciate being lied to when I stood and watched the people who were served walk to the bar after me. This lead us leaving and I will not be wasting my money here at all.

    Had a brilliant night here about a month ago. Bar staff were excellent and kept making sure every 5 minutes if we wanted anything else rather than going to the bar and waiting.

    A nice pub/restaurant. Can get very busy especially at weekends. Good location by canalside. Enjoyed watching live music there during recent jazz festival.

    My friend and I decided to pop in for a quick drink before we got our train back home from our Birmingham trip and they had an offer on the cocktails where you can get 2 for £13, albeit you have to get the same cocktail, so my friend wanted to try the Spiced Rum Punch, and wow it was so nice! A lot of crushed ice in the drink mind you, but we managed to get through it. The atmosphere was so nice and we both said it would be the perfect spot for a nice birthday meal, especially with the view of the canal on one side of the building. I'd definitely come back again for drinks and maybe even try the food next time round.

    Typical All Bar One. Great location. Spacious interior. Fantastic decor. Super kind and helpful staff members. Great choice of wines and beers as well as other alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. The floor a bit sticky tho (Sunday morning visit)

    Water’s Edge, Broad Street, Birmingham What can we say? This place has a genuinely warm, comfortable, relaxed vibe. We have tried the Pitcher & Piano and Las Iguanas nearby, and sure; we enjoyed them. But this All Bar One is worlds apart, not only in terms of ambience, but also in terms of food and great levels of staff friendliness, attentiveness and professionalism. Customer service excellence.! We have returned and we will continue to do so. Thank you guys! And Merry Xmas!

    Came here on a Saturday night with my family, no complaints at all just it was very busy and the music was a bit loud. We were served at the bar by a girl with red hair and a guy with brown hair, he was quite tall (didn’t catch their names unfortunately). Both were lovely and made great cocktails, the waitresses who brought drinks over were nice and friendly too. Great experience as someone who’s not a local!

    Visit here with my family. Staff cleared a table for us as long as we out before the reserved time. Ordering through website by scanning the QR code on the table was easy and the drinks and food arrived quickly. I had the beef brisket and cheese burger, really good.

  • 5/5 Jake W. 1 year ago on Google
    The bottomless brunch was amazing as usual. Despite the bar being quite busy, the wait for food wasn’t that bad, and the drinks arrived quickly too. The range of cocktails on offer was amazing, and the staff on shift were extremely attentive. The eggs royale were perfectly prepared, the smoked salmon was extremely flavourful and the English muffins were toasted to perfection, and slathered with plenty of Hollandaise (which is my favourite part!). I’d definitely recommend ABO’s bottomless brunch as it’s fantastic value for money.

    Good atmosphere, great range of drinks, the only downside was waiting to be served at the bar.

    Went out for drinks with friends on Saturday and had a great time! The atmosphere was lovely. We could order drinks using the app and never had to wait very long for our order. The DJ played great music and everyone was up on their feet a few times for a dance! Had a fab night, will definitely visit again!

  • 4/5 Kamini P. 2 years ago on Google
    Contemporary, trendy, good food and drinks menu, centrally located- only issue that this Saturday was full of Hen Parties. Looking forward to exploring this area again on another weekday....

    Best place ever. Had the bottomless brunch with my dad and sister and it was amazing. We celebrated his birthday and we had the best waitress she made us all feel so special. Will come back a million times thanks to Rita. Loved it!!!!

    Fantastic bottomless brunch and great service from Maria! Kept our glasses full and did everything with smile. Would definitely recommend, great value for money.

    This is a truly lovely large eatery and bar situated in the heart of Brindley Place right by the beautuful canals. It's very popular indeed. One can either sit outside or inside. Inside it is classy and spacious looking quite continental. If you want a lovely and classy time amidst the hustle and bustle of Brindley Place then this is the biggest, most popular and the classiest there. Situated right by Broad Street with easy access to the NIA, ICC, Symphony Hall one can enjoy yourself either before or after a night out or just go anyway. Wonderful.
