Review of Dominos Pizza

Its pizza 
This is a well executed example of the chain, they deliver in good time and are always quite polite on the phone
Also, always an offer on to help you on your way to obesity

Review of Grosvenor Casino
04 May 08, 15:22
You'll lose like everywhere else...
As casinos go, it is a pleasant place to lose money
It has a bit of an airport lounge feel to it when you get in, very clean and
There are plenty of tables to get on, but no poker tournaments here
Worth a look if you like losing weight (pounds)

Review of Bourne Hill Golf Centre

Driving Range
This is a handy shop and driving range... next to a bar and ski slope
The driving range is alright, just don't hook the ball left too often or you'll have some unhappy skiers giving you ear-ache
This review is a little short, i know - but i theres not much else to say about it

Review of The Living Room
01 May 08, 18:54
If you can get in...
... it's a pretty nice bar, at the weekend you will face a very strict door policy which involves being a female... and NO its not worth the snip!
Its great if you fancy an up-market meal during the day, but its a bit too exclusive on an evening if you ask me... the prices are enough to deture roughians

Health Vs Price
Hmmmmm Hm Hmmm
The food here is good, its great, the soups in particular with a wedge of fresh bread
It all tastes great and i'm pretty sure it is good for you as well
But, you're gonna pay for it!

Review of Birmingham Mailbox

How Much!?
Now, if you read the review title above and thought, "what a strange expression, i've never heard that before" then, get down the mailbox
However, if that expresion is all too familiar... back up and get in the bull ring, you can't afford an Armani suit and they don't like people touching
But the bars and restaurants are good on an evening

Review of Red
30 Apr 08, 19:24
Oooh, its loud!
Nice bar this, alittle pricey - but very comfortable and friendly
Only thing is, i've only ever been there on a friday/saturday night and i did think the music was too loud for such a small watering hole.
Thanks for the memories, but i don't fancy tinitus

Review of The Compasses

A Pub
This is a nice pub done well
You can enjoy a drink, sit in the garden or tuck into an alright meal
It doesn't quite have the character of some pubs, but to go wouldn't be a bad decision to make

Review of Oyster Reach Beefeater Restaurant & Travel Inn
30 Apr 08, 13:44
A blank canvas
This is a 'nice' pub...
with 'nice' food...
and 'nice' service...
It's... ... Nice!
I think this is the kind of pub that is made by the people in it, it is all pleasant but there is nothing that really stands out...
It has a beer garden, some fruit machines, drink, a fireplace, food... everything you expect in a pub, just without the character of a proper pub

Review of The Birmingham Academy
30 Apr 08, 13:38
Theres room for music
At the end of the day, if you like the band - chances are that you're going anyway, but don't be put off by the place...
This is an alright venue, it has plenty of space and is even two-tiered - but a bit grim if you don't like the act on-stage!
It seems well kept, and the bar staff are on the ball

Review of Cox & Co
30 Apr 08, 13:17
Very stand up estate agent
I rented a flat through this estate agent and they were always very straight forward, un-intrusive and helpful
Inevitably, you do end up with lost messages here and there when different people pick up calls etc.
And a few non-urgent problems with the flat were very slow to be sorted, but they were very quick with a shower problem and water leak
Overall, probably the best letting agents i've had

Review of Bullring Shopping Centre
29 Apr 08, 19:04
Ooooh, not on a saturday!
This is a very big and well kept shopping centre, plenty of shops, big brands, i'm sure you could find anything if you have the time.
But, it is very popular and not a great experience on a saturday afternoon if you don't like the hussle and bussle of sweaty hoards - when you may have to queue to get on the escalator!
Still, in the morning or evening it is very pleasant.

Review of Pitcher & Piano
29 Apr 08, 18:55
A Nice Bar
This bar is very pallettable, it is well kept - the service is better than you expect and it is very comfortable in off-peak hours
However, on a friday or saturday night - the place is packed and very difficult to get served and stuffy

Curry!
Well, the service is friendy and the food tasty...
The only worrying thing was that the curry looked like it was re-heated, but i haven't had any tummy trouble :)

Review of The Sports Cafe
29 Apr 08, 18:30
Its not a cafe...
It is a great place for pool with some mates (can’t say I’ve played all by myself) and to catch the football / rugby with some cheap beer... but smells a bit like sick
