Love the Mockingbird!…read more Great beers on tap, including a selection of Belgian fruit beers, and a neat cocktail menu. The food is also very good (try the Mockingburger- It's got a giant fried duck egg on it). The cuban sandwich isn't really a cuban sandwich (it's basically BBQ pulled pork) but it's still really delicious! Really chill vibe, with exposed brick inside and outdoor seating in the custard factory courtyard when the weather's nice. What really makes the Mockingbird awesome though, is it's theatre and the regular events hosted there. Movie screenings paired with live music and cocktails... most recently Brandon A. and I went to a screening of The Blues Brothers and it was great! If you're in Digbeth it's definitely worth checking out.

After attending my first instameet, I was so excited to visit Mocking bird again to watch a film…read morehere and couldn't be more happy with my experience, The Film I watched was '10 Things I hate about you' I made sure that I didn't look up the film as I wanted this to remain as a surprise, all I knew was that it's a classical chic flick :P The cinema is incredibly comfortable, as I tucked into my mint tea and popcorn. With a great bar and restaurant area feel feel to eat and drink afterwards too, some nights the venue also offer food that are themed according to what film has been shown. The particulary love the bright and insta worthy décor! Based in Custard factory of what a gem, I'll be back again for sure Have a good day everyone, thanks a bunch for reading ----

Vue Birmingham Star City. Disgusted!! From the carefree…read morerubbish service, no guiding/monitoring of the queues, staff talking/laughing amongst each other when customers are waiting 45 mins or more, to the temperature in the cinema being so high that i struggled to keep my eyes open and kids falling asleep and others said the same. This is a hideous excuse for a cinema. Not my first bad experience here neither hence my review here. Spoke to the Manager and his response was "what do you expect on an opening weekend?" SERIOUSLY?? What a stupid response!! Well let me inform you... I expect you to have a proper queuing system which is fair and tended to promptly and professionally, I expect a dedicated service by staff members serving me with a little sense of sympathy for all the ppl waiting and getting late for their movies through no fault of their own. Which other cinema do you have to turn up over 1 hour before the movie in order to wait in a long queue whilst watching others form their own ques, it defeats the purpose of paying in advance online?! I WILL NEVER ATTEND THIS CINEMA EVER AGAIN!! The manager (an older asian guy with whitening beard in a suit), didn't care for his name tbh, made a bad experience worse with such a stupid response, standing around like a lampost, atleast a lampost provides light, much more useful than you. This was after I had already called for him before the movie started and he walked off pretending to be busy. Poor management and sick of the service. Will be telling everyone to avoid. Don't waste 3 hours of your life like I had to. People work hard for their money and if we spend it we have a reasonable right to watch our movies with comfort and ease. There are much better cinemas local, will be sticking to those. I stormed out of the cinema after the silly basic response from the Manager, he needs retraining or moving to the toilets, maybe he can be of some use there, however i doubt it. An insult to the Vue name unless its how Vue is training their staff?? The people of Birmingham deserve better, its not good enough and needs to change immediately. Or close your doors. Let a proper chain like Odeon do things properly, even on opening weekends, what a joke of a manager!! #Disgusted #Rude #WorstCinemaInBirmingham #useless Manager #neveragain Ps. I've toned my feelings down compared to how I'm left feeling after this atrocious experience. Could say alot more. Please close your doors Birmingham Vue!

My partner and I took our two year old on his very first visit to the cinema last week. Neither of…read moreus had been to Resorts World yet so we decided to head to the Cineworld there. The ticket prices here are higher than other cinemas with the standard adult 2D ticket costing over £10 and IMAX costing a whopping £16.20. There is no box office at this cinema meaning that tickets have to be purchased from automated machines (card only) or the snack counter. Although the cinema was not busy by any stretch of the imagination, I did have to wait a substantial amount of time to be served as there were only one or two members of staff serving (both tickets and refreshments) at any one time. There was the usual selection of snacks available and we ordered a large popcorn to share. There was also a small Costa Coffee in the entrance area which served a great range of coffee and treats. The actual theatre was a nice size (if an unusual layout) and the seats were very comfortable. Everything at the cinema indicated newness which was a nice change from the other well used multiplex's in Birmingham. The screen was the perfect size and the volume level was set just right for a children's film. While we did enjoy the film, the cinematic experience was in no way outstanding. Taking into consideration the higher ticket price I am left only able to offer four stars.

It is reasonably priced and they have friendly staff. I really like how massive the screens are and you can really relax in their comfortable seats. I give it four stars because my friend wanted to order some dessert and they were out of a lot of the items available. Overall, a great movie theatre and a good experience! I had a great time here and will definitely be back! :)

So.... I tried. I tried once and I tried again and the Everyman still hasn't quite won me over yet…read more After the initial launch, I booked tickets to go and see Avengers in April for a bit of a date night treat with Dan G. As the cinema specialises in bringing food to your seat, I figured it would be worth heading down for a spot of dinner and a film on a Thursday evening to give this place a proper try. Firstly, I do love the layout and vibe. You're welcomed into a smart, stylised bar and eatery area and invited to take a seat before your film. You can order food before the showing if you would prefer or order for delivery during the film. On our first trip we flashed our tickets (on email, rather an a paper ticket system) and headed to the bar to order a couple of burgers and beer. I went for a veggie burger and Dan went for a smoked. This with a couple of beers came to around £30 (which was incorrect as per the website and seemed to be quite pricey - especially for drinks), still, we duly paid up and headed to the screen for a punchy extravaganza of superhero proportions. The food was bought out to us during the adverts and bought out to us on a tray (so you can pop it on your lap). The burger was really atrocious. I couldn't taste anything at all! Considering it was packed with all kinds of lovely veg - this was a total shame. The seats were comfy enough (every seat at the Everyman is a sofa seat), but as Dan has pointed out - the sound didn't seem to be great (which was another disappointment). Following this visit I got in touch with the Everyman to tell them about my experience (I would have spoken to the manager on the night, but the film didn't finish until nearly 12pm and I was shattered). Their customer service was top notch (that gets 5*) and I received an email reply stating that they would update their website and offered another two burgers on the house to make up for our sub-par food on our first visit. We decided to give them another go and visited a second time in May to see Mad Max. We popped in, flashed the email and were offered the free food without any issues. I went for a house burger this time and we just ordered a couple of glasses of water (as it was a roasting hot day and we were parched). The screen we were in a second time (downstairs) was a lot better. Even comfier, more leg room and better sound. This was a much more pleasant screening experience than we had, had previously. The food didn't come out until the film had started (which was a bit of a pain as we had to eat in the dark) and although my burger seemed to be a lot more flavoursome, it was a tad burned. All in all, I would give the venue 3.5 stars due to the great customer service, comfy seating and great screening area downstairs (which has it's own dedicated bar). I am not in a hurry to head back (it's quite expensive for films at around £12 - £13 a ticket) and the food hasn't wowed me yet. Don't let that put you off though! It's definitely worth a visit if you haven't yet been, just be sure to keep in mind that the drinks are quite pricey. I would recommend it for a date night or a treat, but for an everyday cinema experience I would probably head elsewhere.

I am not a huge film watcher so always give it a miss.....I was surprised how much I loved it here. So this place take the edge of the hardcore cinema Experience by playing on two on my weaknesses...hunger and thirst. To watch the film we had nachos, nuts and hummus delivered to our seats and I also had an elderflower fizz. I admit not the most manly of drinks but we were watching Bridget Jones....I think t can be excused. I really like the way that the cinema has sofas instead of chairs so you can be more comfortable watching your chick flick and I also love the way the manager comes out to say hello and introduce the film. Small finishing touches...great effect.

I did find the seats a little small, the larger bodied person may struggle, not sure if they have provisions. Ample free car parking outside too.
