The Mailbox (Birmingham) Reviews
Newest Review: ... bar for many cocktails afterwards. As it was a saturday night most of the restaurants had been fully booked! Although it wasnt our first choice of restaurant it was very good and luckily we got a seat at the bar in HaHa. The centre is based around the landscaped canal, its very pretty at night time and is well lit, busy and happening. There seemed to be a professional type crowd around this end of town, Im guessing that the students dont really come down here. The shops are all high end boutique style like Karen Millen etc. They were all shut when we got there at 8pm, but the centre is layed out very stylishly and is super clean. If yo... more

I went to the MailBox last night and had a great evening. The mailbox is basically a shopping centre by day and gateway to bars and restaurants by night.

We take a few trips out a year as a department and invite ex colleagues along as well. We have dined all over town but have a soft spot for the Mailbox area. This was our first visit to Pennyblacks and we won't be back as a group (although who would have thought that 12 people is so unmanageable). It may be fine for small groups or couples but there were not that many in so it was hard to gauge. We booked by e-mail (but called to confirm) and were greeted warmly enough in what turned out to be a spacious and comfortable pub, mainly - but not exclusively - frequented by businessmen. We ordered, painless enough, then waited 45 minutes for ... Read the complete review
