I went to Birex for lunch it was quiet but atmosphear was inviting. The menu was extensive with basic pub food and a little bit more. What a disapointment when the food came out it was tastless dont think the chef knows what seasoning is!! The service was very poor considering how quiet it was. O

I'm a lonely old guy from Tampa Florida and fell in love with my young long brunette haired server.. I think she hated me but that was ok.. the food was good and the beer was cold.

Not been to this bar for a few years and was really impressed. The food choice was great and when it arrived it was really good and excellent value. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere weas just right; not too noisy but with plenty of laughter etc.

We will be back soon.....

The smoking ban has actually been a boon for pubs like the Bierex, and the slightly hit or miss cooking is a thing of the past as this friendly pub concentrates more and more on its "dining" customers. Good selection of beers and cheerful service.

We ate here a couple of times when visiting the sights, and had a good time on both occasions. The atmosphere was pleasant and relaxed, and the menu was varied enough to cater for everyone in my family. The food and service was good and the staff attentive and efficient. I'd certainly go there again.

No cask ale, just that fizzy lager stuff. Though they do sell some tasty stuff in bottles. Slightly later opening times than some of the surrounding pubs which helps keep the place busy till late. Saying that at my most recent visit the staff closing up were rude and arrogant. Closing earlier than stated at the door with no reason given. The methods by which they dealt with us as customers was unbelievable. I understand the irritation of the cleaning up process at the end of an evening. But the staff neither knew the law reguarding this or how to go about asking people to drink up. One male member of staff even swore at us while telling us to get out drinks down our necks within 5mins. Wont be going back.

Not a bad wee pub. Comfortable and cosy, and with a good selection of beers. Have eaten a couple of times in there - the paninis and such are nice, but the main course dish leave a little to be desired. I had a pasta dish. The pasta was terribly overdone, and it wasn't hot. So cold was it, that cheese didn't even begin to melt.

I enjoy the comfortable atmosphere that Bierex offers. On Tuesday and Thursday evenings, a range of enjoyable cocktails are available on a buy one and get one free offer. The bar staff are attentive and friendly, placed in a central bar around which is a warm and quiet, yet if you bring good friends, it will become a spirited yet personal, ambience. Go on a Tuesday. Bring 5 good, entertaining mates and the time will pass happily.

Try the Mintaero cocktail...

Decor is terrible, it got these strange thick pine 'picture frames' on the ceiling. It's certainly not a pub. Snapfax offers value, espcially for the food, the menu being surprisingly extensive. Really for today's blander students.

A pleaseant bar to spend time in with a modern decor. Seems to attract a mainly younger clientele but you will find people of all ages there. Beer is pretty good and food not bad either.

Bierex boasts an impressive interior, it appears to have an element of everything in its design. The bar is well stocked (Caley Ales and a number of keg beers) and the staff pleasent. The only gripe are the prices which are a little high.
