AutoBrew | Bar & Café Digbeth — Restaurant in Birmingham

We were in Birmingham for the Black Sabbath concert . Unable to get tickets we decided to come in and soak up the atmosphere. We walked passed the bar and saw they were streaming the concert so decided to stop and have a drink and watch for a while. We ended up staying nearly to the end. What a wonderful place. Beer was good and well priced , the bar staff were a dream. I’m sorry I didn’t get the name of the young lady working that day but she was wonderful. Nothing was to much trouble. She even found a phone charger as we were out longer than we planned and I needed my phone for my train ticket. I have dietary issue so didn’t try the food but they did not mind us bringing something in for me to eat. I cannot praise this bar enough and if we lived closer it would be our home from home. Looking forward to...

Nice concept and a busy bar with the quirk being you pour your own pint. When you arrive you need to charge up a card and the use this to dispense the quantity of your favourite drink. Takes a couple of pulls to work out how to pour a pint without it being 60% head but when you get the hang of it, it is all much the same as a normal bar. Staff were really friendly and helpful and allowed you try a couple before committing to your own cost.

Really liked the place….but not sure if the gimmick of pouring your own pint will keep people returning. There is no real cost saving over normal pub prices and it can take a little longer to get a drink when waiting for the froth to die down on...

Good concept. Put some funds on a prepaid card, serve yourself and pay by the pour. So if you wanted to try a small glass of 3 beers instead of one pint, you can.

Only 5 taps but your top up card is valid whenever you go back. Fridge of local craft beer, soft drinks and they do coffee.

Small venue tucked in the corner and very close to Z roberto's which does some super rare beers, so this place is cool for a few local draft beers before moving on to other locations. Chance and counters also do some good craft, all within 90 yards of each other....
