Aluna is one of Birmingham's most unique and iconic cocktail bar and Pan Asian restaurant. Tucked away on the canal between the Mailbox and Brindleyplace, Aluna can be found at the Mailbox, on the lower level by the canal. Offering a host of delicious and indulgent pan-asian flavourings, expertly fused with western dishes, Aluna creates an individualistic and special catering experience. Dishes include fragrant Curries, Nori Dusted Lamb Chops, Bao Buns and Sichaun Paneer amongst many more offerings.

And the magic doesn't stop there as theatrical cocktails are set alight, perfect for those looking at a big day or night out in Birmingham. Our mixologists artistically produce flavoursome and inspiring cocktails, especially when you choose our most daring cocktail "The Cauldron of Death".

With our infamous Angel Wings and beautiful decor, this a beautiful spot to capture memories.

Aluna is for the fun, mischievous and most magic of people.

Review summary

Aluna offers an energetic dining experience with "amazing food, fantastic cocktails," and attentive service. Guests appreciate the lively atmosphere, although some find it a bit too loud. Standout servers like Trinity and Alyssa enhance the experience with their "thoughtful and attentive" service. The restaurant's bottomless brunch is a highlight for many, though some wish for more cocktail variety.

    Food was excellent tasted amazing however I know everyone wants speedy service but this was ridiculous our starter came before our drinks order the moment I rested my fork on my plate it was taken and the main was brought out. Same with the dessert. It felt rushed, I took my daughter for dinner an no joke we was in fed a 3 corse dinner and out in just over an hour. Also I paid a deposit which I had to remind them to take it off so be very careful there if you go. Then the cheek of the waitress when I did pay asked me if I wanted my change which was almost a fiver. Shame really cause the food tasted amazing as I said.

    Because ones this place a month or so ago to come with a group of friends. One had a peanut allergy so ensured I put this onto the booking notes. We chose this place for the food choice and cocktails. Cocktails did not disappoint however we were pretty disappointed that we could only pick food from the Xmas menu - at no point did they ever advise this on the site or on my booking. Then to make it worse, the friend with a peanut allergy chose a couple of dishes - no peanuts advised - but when ordering the steak, was told that they cooked the it in the same place as peanuts. I’m not sure why they could t have cooked the steak in a pan?? So, not only did we have a reduced menu anyway, but one of the group had even less to choose from - literally could only have 2 or 3 of the things on the menu. The food was good and service good but is honesty, we were really disappointed especially as this hadn’t been pointed out to us beforehand. In addition - and I know it’s a music bar too - but the music was so loud in the restaurant, that we couldn’t even speak to each other at ends of the table. I would have thought they could have turned the volume down a little where people were eating, even if it was louder in the bar area. Not sure we’ll be rushing back which is a shame cos there is a good vibe there.

    Lovely place with good food and nice cocktails. Second visit mainly returned for the food and to introduce a friend to the place. Enjoyed a lovely afternoon away from the hustle of the German Market.

    Having been to Aluna previously - I was a little surprised to find it’s more like a club on a Saturday night. The food is amazing and the staff brilliant as they couldn’t hear anything we were saying during drinks and food orders ! I love club music, but the two just didn’t meet in the middle of! If there was a little partitioning between bar and restaurant (only enough to muffle the sound level down a little) this would make the experience so much more enjoyable. My Apple watch kept flagging unacceptable noise levels it was louder than a club for sure - that can’t be good for the staff working a full shift. It was impossible to hear the staff, dining companions and vice versa for them. Otherwise, such fabulous food, cocktails and staff
