Eagle & Ball Public House

The Eagle & Ball is a public house located in the Eastside area of Birmingham, England, on the campus of Birmingham City University. Built in the 1840s and opened as a backstreet public house sometime in the 1850s, it is one of the city's older surviving Victorian pubs. The building is Grade II listed and has been restored and incorporated into the university's City Centre Campus. It is operated by Birmingham City University Students' Union (BCUSU), which runs it as a campus pub and social venue under the BCUSU brand. The pub serves a menu of pizzas, quesadillas, burgers and light bites, alongside a bar offering draught beers, cocktails, mocktails, wines, spirits, hot drinks and non-alcoholic beverages. It hosts events such as karaoke nights and is marketed to students, locals and visitors. A loyalty scheme, BCUSU Rewards, allows customers to collect stamps on food and drink purchases. The pub is accessible on foot from Moor Street and New Street stations and is close to the Millennium Point multi-storey car park. Historically, the building underwent a name change in the 1960s and traded as Moby Dicks until recently, when it was renamed The Eagle & Ball in reference to its original identity. Its heritage is sometimes linked in local lore to the Peaky Blinders gangs active in the surrounding areas, though this is presented as popular association rather than documented fact. Today it functions as a modern campus pub while retaining its Victorian architectural character.

The Eagle & Ball was built in the 1840s and opened to the public as a backstreet public house sometime in the 1850s. It served the local community in the Eastside area of Birmingham for over a century. In the 1960s the pub underwent a name change and traded as Moby Dicks for several decades. The building is Grade II listed, recognising its architectural and historic significance. In recent years it was restored and incorporated into the new Birmingham City University building, and renamed The Eagle & Ball once more, a nod to its original Victorian identity. It is now operated by Birmingham City University Students' Union (BCUSU) as a campus pub, offering food, drinks, events and a loyalty app for students and visitors.
