Looking forward to going back for a drink at the beginning of the night rather than the end. Friendly pub with lots of different rooms. It's dark, there's plenty of seating and there's circuit boards all over the wall. What's not to like? Decent Guinness too

The atmosphere is really chill! They serve some nice burgers and they ent overpriced, they are worth it! Would definitely recommend coming here. They're also dog friend and child friendly. There is also two beer gardens/smoking areas which are kept clean!

Came to the ruin without knowing what the place was, without a recommendation and only because the outdoor venue we planned to visit was called off due to the rain… SO glad that happened! Great atmosphere, great staff, extremely individual and the pop up food kitchen had the BEST beef tacos going and deserve a Permanent spot of their own! Music already on at midday with DJ’s through the Saturday!

my first time going out by myself as a woman (22y) in Birmingham and it's really a great place, I'm really happy with my choice of going here as my first place alone. it's safe, comfortable, fun, amazing kind staff, bartender was lovely. I suffer from social anxiety so it's hard for me to go out and enjoy my time somewhere out and The Ruin was perfect. I was up in the smoking area and it's really chill, good atmosphere and great! I'm not used to going out to drink but I had a Moscow Mule for 8 quid and for the amount of the drink and everything included I say it's a fair price but I'm not familiar with drink prices so I can't say confidently it's the best price out there but definitely worth it 👌👌 Thank you for a good first experience c:

Loved it, Digbeth is amazing, so cool with lots of different people. The ruin was not too busy. Prices were ok, staff lovely. Good atmosphere. Never been before but would go again. We were a big group of ages 26 to 65 did not feel out of place. Tiny pub with 2 toilets. So go before you're desperate! Food looked good, although we didn't eat.

I can only give this venue 4 stars as I didn't eat here. It gets worse; I didn't even have an alcoholic drink here! I came on recommendation from a friend and called in on a warm Saturday afternoon in early May. A visual delight; quirky and off the wall with a fantastic vibe and really friendly staff. A smashing 'find' for me anyway. Edit; I called in again today, 27th August and I like it even more! Had a good prowl around as it wasn't too busy. The young barperson who spoke to me pointed me in the right direction(s) for taking photos of the street art for which this part of the city is renowned. I really like this place.

We recently went to the Ruin for a Sunday Roast and it was absolutely delicious. Lovely big portion with all the trimmings. We sat on the terrace in the sunshine too so will definitely be back!

Quirky pub with a nice, chill vibe. Staff are friendly, atmosphere is great and the background music is a nice touch. Decor is funky, seems to be a different style per room - the front room decorated with old computer parts is very interesting. Never seen anything like it! Drink prices are pretty standard for Birmingham. Will definitely be back again!

Wow. Just an all round fantastic bar and venue. Incredibly lovely staff at the bar and in the kitchen, GREAT set of very different spaces, each of them fun, and other patrons who were just great. Could not recommend this place enough. The perfect modern Birmingham Pub!

Cool bar with a nice terrace upstairs, the lager was high quality and I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area

Great atmosphere, chill in the daybfor a quiet catch up, bustling at night with good vibes and music. Roof terrace is great.

Best place pub in Digbeth. Fantastic roof terrace and brilliant decor throughout. Great drinks selection and friendly staff.

What a lovely place, inside and outside. Excellent and friendly service. I love the 'electronics' wall dressings.

A very interesting venue, the decor is vintage mixed with retro. Which I personally loved. The service was excellent, all the staff were friendly. The building had a lot of different areas; multiple smoking areas including in and outdoor with a roof balcony seating area. They have awesome artwork on the walls outside. I imagine this venue would be completely different in the afternoon to the nightime. The food was nice, some items nicer than others but overall was a good experience. Could of been better on the food but overall was a lovely time and we were catered to very well.

We visited this pub as part of the "Digbeth Pub Tour". Lovely venue and we ended clambering up to the roof top garden seating area for tasty beers with great views. One to visit. 👌🏻

Superb quirky bar on floodgate street in Digbeth. Has the real independent vibe about it which makes it all the more appealing. Recommend

One of my favourite Digbeth pubs, this is a blues pub when we are at home, the beers are top class, the staff are all really friendly and there's a courtyard for outdoor use

Really friendly cosy little pub with a good beer choice (and plenty of alcohol free beer choices too) and a really great food menu!
