If you’ve been out in Moseley, it’s highly likely you’ve been to the iconic Cuban Embassy (Bulls Head). It is the oldest pub in the village dating back to the 1700s. Now it’s a little slice of Havana serving up rum based cocktails and live cuban music each weekend 🇨🇺 🍹 💃🏽 We went on Saturday afternoon for bottomless brunch (2hrs). Choose bottomless Prosecco or Cuba Libres, two small plates and a side for £35 per person. We ordered: 🍔 Iberian Burger 🐟 Cod and Pepper Croquettes 🇪🇸Spanish Chorizo 🍗 Garlic Chicken Thighs 🍟 Sweet Potato Fries 🧄 Garlic Flatbread with cheese The food is provided by Santi’s Kitchen and we loved every bite 👌🏽 The garlic chicken thighs were sensational. We were mopping up every last ounce of the sauce with the garlic flatbread; we nearly wore a hole into the plate 😆 The cod and pepper croquettes were generously filled with fish, rather than filled out with potato. They were delicately seasoned so the fish could shine and we wanted a bucket full. The burger looked pretty basic, but then we took a bite…the Manchego was nutty and slightly sweet, perfectly complimenting the salty Serrano ham. It tasted homemade and authentic. It was quiet during our visit, so even though I hate the phrase because people are saying it about everything, I’m going to say it…the venue might be well known, but the brunch is a 💎 hidden gem 💎 It was fantastic for us too as Cuba Libres are a much more appealing option than sugary cocktails. They were also super accommodating and let my mum have vodka instead of rum ☺️ it’s the little touches. We were having such a lovely time we stayed for a few extra hours and enjoyed some banana daiquiris 🍌

As of tonight (Wed 27th March) the bar is now open again after a refit. Space is much improved as the bar is now repositioned along a side wall and no longer creating a jam in front of the entrance. I've uploaded pictures of new bar, which has a faded Cuban hotel feel, as does the redecorated bar and live music space upstairs. Same friendly staff, same Latin vibe, same cool drinks but better looking bar. This bar offers something different for the jaded pub go-er especially at the weekend. They have done a good job creating an exciting atmosphere that is part Boho Moseley and part Cuban. A massive choice of rum (120 I think), plenty of tropical cocktails and a live band playing from 10pm upstairs at the weekend all adds to the Latin American feel. Staff are smart in black downstairs and tropical shirts upstairs. During the week days there is food here at certain times and a musician also playing downstairs. Had a very good night here last night. The crowd is an eclectic mix of people from all over (I noticed quite a lot of different languages) all ages (although our group probably doubled the average age in the room!). Any age group is going to feel welcome here. The condition of the bar isn't pristine (that's part of the Cuban feel perhaps?) and yes they serve a lot of cocktails and it all takes time. My advice is get friendly with the bar staff, get your orders in early and then get in to the Caribbean mood. If you're still stressed, go upstairs and dance. Where else in Moseley can you dance to a live band playing Latin and reggae music? You can honestly forget where you are here!

I didn’t get the experience this establishment my first time in Birmingham and the one place I was recommended continuously was here. However after spending £20 on an Uber to get here they were closed even though it says they open at 12 pm. As you can see from my screenshot I got there just after 2pm the doors were closed no one was inside it was a waste of a trip places like this should update their timing if they can’t open at the time they advertise. This was the second place I went to yesterday that was closed at the advertised time I’m from London so if this is a common thing it should be made known so people like me don’t waste cab expenses.

What can I say...wow! The BA-HA vegan Cuban menu by Frankie Heekin is incredible...! I had to get a picture of her too! Probably the best vegan tacos I have tasted and the padron peppers were authentically delicious...! The vegan lemon cheesecake had a great fluffy texture and was not too sweet. Absolutely perfect. This place is a MUST visit for foodies Birmingham just like their menu at the Rainbow. I will be back...!!
