Bonehead

Bonehead is a fearless dive-bar-diner from the home of metal, serving buttermilk fried chicken in six signature styles: original seasoning (garlic mayo, lettuce, pickles), Lizard King (bourbon BBQ, shallots, slaw), Hot Head (Nashville hot, comeback dip), Buffalo (peppery, blue cheese or ranch), Dragon (sriracha honey, kewpie, sesame), and Lemon Head (zesty herb). Wings, tenders, and loaded burgers dominate; sides include Nashville fries (slaw, pickles, comeback sauce), Cinema fries (nacho cheese, hot salsa, jalapeños), and Garlic Parmesan Tots. One vegetarian option: Sweet Chilli Caulibuites. Walk-ins only, no reservations, cashless. Compact industrial-style bar downstairs showcases craft beers; 36-cover restaurant upstairs.

FAQ

Can I bring kids to Bonehead?

Yes, children are welcome at Bonehead until 20:00, after which it operates as an adult-only bar. It's a loud, rock-music dive bar rather than a family restaurant, so it suits older kids and teenagers best during the earlier hours.

Do I need to book a table, or can I just turn up?

Bonehead is strictly walk-ins only, they don't take reservations. It's a small venue with around 36 seats, so arriving early or outside peak weekend hours gives you the best chance of getting in quickly.

How busy does it get, and when is the best time to visit?

Bonehead is a popular, compact spot that regularly fills up, especially on Friday and Saturday evenings. Weekday lunchtimes or early evenings (Tuesday-Thursday) tend to be quieter and a better bet if you want to walk straight in.

Is there a dress code?

Does Bonehead accept cash?

How do I get there, and is there parking nearby?

Bonehead is located at 8 Lower Severn Street in Birmingham city centre, just off John Bright Street and a short walk from Birmingham New Street station, making it very easy to reach by train or tram. Street parking in the city centre is limited, so public transport is strongly recommended.

What's on the menu, and roughly how much will it cost?

The menu focuses entirely on buttermilk fried chicken, burgers, wings, tenders, and loaded sides like waffle fries, paired with a rotating selection of craft beers, cocktails, and spirits. Budget around £15-£28 per person, and note that last food orders are taken 30 minutes before closing.
