With quality steak at its core, a contemporary menu to appease any appetite and a bar that’s guaranteed to bring in the crowds, Bar + Block brings a fresh new flavour to Birmingham’s dining scene. Whether it’s a hearty breakfast, working lunch, indulgent dinner or post-work tipple, Bar + Block on Waterloo Street has it all covered.
Steak Royalty
It’s all about the beef at Bar + Block – it’s serious business. Rump, ribeye, sirloin, fillet and the more unique spiral cut, sourced from British breeds of cattle reared across the Pampas in South America, are aged for a minimum of 28 days and can be hand-cut to size that suits any appetite at the time of ordering. But the carnivorous fun doesn’t stop there.
Bar + Block offers a range of rotating steak specials on their ‘Butchers Block’. These unique cuts come to them in smaller quantities so when they’re gone, they’re gone. First up on the Butcher’s Block is a delicious + tender USDA Brisket served with Argentinian-style Chimichurri and irresistible beef dripping chunky chips.
All-day Dining
Meat-lovers can enjoy a solid start to their day with highlights including steak and eggs; salt beef hash; steak eggy bread sarnie and bacon rarebit. The ‘Bar + Block Works’ promises thick cut double smoked bacon, sausage patty, spicy beans, salt beef hash, flat mushroom and roasted tomato topped with a fried egg on toast… with the option to add a rump steak too! Lighter options are also available including smashed avocado and a poached egg on toast or granola topped with berry compote and yogurt.
Lunch and dinner steal the show with a selection of quality, classic steaks and the rotating specials on the ‘Butchers Block’. Other highlights from the menu include slow-cooked pork belly, beef short rib, handmade beef burgers which are freshly ground on-site, a selection of salads and sides of beef dripping chunky chips; buttermilk onion rings; and sweet potato fries with chorizo, feta and coriander.

Post-work tipple
