Mooch Bar

Birmingham

260 Broad Street, Birmingham B1 2HF

This was another impromptu food venture that kind of happened by accident. After a night out and an early morning it was pretty much inevitable that we would be hungry. We almost walked past but backtracked and ended up taking a trip inside.

Honestly I can't remember the last time I took so long to pick something to eat. It being a monday we were surprised to see that everything, like everything was 50% off. Being the girls that we are we decided not only to eat something in but take something away too (kinda helped when it came to deciding what to eat). 

At first we weren't really sure whether we had to go up and order but in the end went up to the bar and managed to order from there. It's a relaxed bar/restaurant really so its almost like you help yourselves to your seat and food

The bar/restaurant is more know for its nightlife that it is for its food as you can see  but hey we didn't have to time to party all over again.

 

Roasted Cajun Style Salmon - Served with Asian noodles, chilli and lemon sauce and mango salsa

Baby Back Pork Ribs - Half Rack - With Choice of Jamaican Jerk, Hickory BBQ, Sweet Chilli or Oriental Thai Sauce - Served with home style fries, corn on the cob and coleslaw I chose the Jamaican jerk, which wasn't really jerk but was nice anyway

The food was honestly so nice! I decided to have the ribs but ended up taking away another 3 meals haaha. Everything still came up to less than £20 so I can definitely say I exploited the offer. Janine and Sarah got the salmon and it looked and smelt amazing. It was a decent sized salmon and seasoned just right (I would know I had some and ordered it to take home). Even though I ordered a half rack of ribs I still couldn't finish it and had to take yet more food home ah well. I'm yet to try the chicken I ordered but I'm hoping it will be seasoned as well as the fish. the atmosphere wasn't anything special and staff we're a bit blah at times but I came to eat, and eat we did.
The only random thing is the tissue being behind and above in the toilets...the stretch is real.
If you do go there's usually a different offer throughout the week so expect a variation.
