Atmosphere & Location
Pros:
"The beautiful canals are a highlight of Brindleyplace, offering a peaceful and scenic backdrop for a relaxing walk or a jog."
"Stunningly beautiful Brindley Place Birmingham at night, also during the day."
"Amazing atmosphere by the water fountain! Big screen showing the commonwealth games, sun shining, everyone rooting & cheering for all the athletes, table tennis for everyone to enjoy!"
"A beautiful open ground for people to sit and enjoy or for the kids to simply run around."
"Gorgeous views from bridges of the fabulous canal system and loads of beautiful hanging baskets."
"It's really nice to walk around this area, such a happening place."
"The most perfect time to make the most out of Brindley place Is spring/summer because you can sit outside and really enjoy what it has to offer."
Cons:
"It's ok here but it's all starting to look very dated."
"Doesn't have the same vibe since the pandemic but that doesn't surprise me especially as the ICC centre looked closed up."
"The only downside is there isn't much greenery."
"It's basically very trashy, very down at heel and devoid of any soul whatsoever."
Accessibility & Transportation
Pros:
"It's not too far from New Street Station either."
"It is very well connected with respect to city transportation. It is very centrally located within city center."
"Brindleyplace Tram Stop opened on Broad Street in July 2022."
"It's also got the new tram on which when sorted out will go up to 5 ways to Morrison's hopefully that will be soon they have done a really nice job of broad Street."
"All within close proximity to public transport."
"Now more convenient to get to since the new metro stop was placed nearby."
Cons:
"Parking isn't very cheap and you are also in Birmingham's congestion charge zone which is £8 a day per car."
"All very elaborate but not ideal for pushchairs, wheelchairs, those with walking difficulties as a lot of the ground area is 'cobbled'."
"Parking is expensive here. The restaurant choices are reasonably decent (not cheap though - think city centre prices, then add a bit)."
"Parking is extremely expensive and disabled bays are limited but also not sign posted."
"Parking near area is pricey and still you'll need to walk. Surrounding areas are cobbled so bad for wheelchairs and buggies."
"Originally getting to the car park there was simple. However over the past couple of years it appears that Birmingham council have been progressively strangling access."
"Getting out of there from parking is a nightmare currently with constant road layout changes and road works."
Dining & Entertainment
Pros:
"Sunday roast at Pulperia was lovely my only criticism would be the starters are limited."
"Fantastic spa day at Bannatynes Health club, massages are expensive but a great experience."
"Very nice place to visit lots of bar's and restaurants, when the weather is good nice to have a stroll around."
"Brindleyplace has a great selection of restaurants, bars and cafes to choose from for most tastes."
"You can get free tickets for the sea life centre by using your Tesco clubcard points converted into vouchers."
"Plenty of places to eat and drink and places to visit for the kids too."
"Visited the Water's Edge in Brindley Place to listen to a jazz performance that was part of the Birmingham, Solihull & Sandwell Jazz Festival."
Cons:
"With the present state of things, you would expect the entertainment sector to be trying extra hard, but no."
"Its a nice place good vibe but totally overpriced flat beer."
"Really poor restaurants that don't even know their food is awful."
"The girls had a bottle of wine for £35 it was very poor."
"Now it's full of chain restaurants with questionable quality of food."
"Sadly, the Pizza Express that used to be here has closed, and that was a big part of its draw."
"Various places had no menu posted outside, or nothing we wanted on the menu."
Facilities & Services
Pros:
"Been here lots of times over the year's and today's visit was no exception. Plenty of staff to point you on the right direction."
"good lighting in most areas. However section 4 (car park) lacks lighting and is very gloomy and dull."
"Visited The Tap and Spile on the canal and it was an excellent place."
"Great mixed-use development by the canal with restaurants, bars, and lots of entertainment options such as table tennis."
"Really tidy area, good to see a lot of security around although there is no signs of any trouble."
"The highlight of the visit was to meet the gentleman with the push cart who helps keep Brindley Place spotless."
"A very nice square to visit with a number of hotels, bars, and restaurants posted around."
Cons:
"The car park is supposed to be best in class, think again! It's expensive and appears not to even have the technology to know when it's full."
"To anyone thinking of joining Bannantyne gym make sure your have a mask or else they won’t let you in."
"Visited for the free film festival, saw the Greatest Showman which was fantastic, but there were problems with the sound."
"I have knocked off one star for the toilet facilities which are a bit lacking - there's only one - and it isn't.... erm... as well looked after as the main shop is."
"The sides would benefit from hot dishes as they lost temperature quiet quickly."
"Not enough disabled parking."
"Why have they cordoned off all the disabled parking spaces."
