Merrymaid Bar and Grill

Head down Moseley Road and you'll find yourself in one of Birmingham's most reliable neighbourhood spots. Merrymaid's got that rare quality of feeling both unpretentious and genuinely well-executed—the sort of place where you can turn up in trainers for a burger and chips or dress it up for an actual occasion. The bar side hums with the kind of energy that comes from people genuinely wanting to be there, not just passing through. With nearly 900 reviews sitting at 4.6 stars, it's clearly struck a chord with the local crowd, and once you're in, you'll see why.
