Bonehead

Bonehead is a fried-chicken dive-bar diner at 8 Lower Severn Street in Birmingham, pairing casual food with a metal-focused atmosphere. The venue combines a bar and diner setting with loud music, bold flavours and a menu built around fried chicken, wings, burgers and sides.

Chicken is available in several formats, including pieces, tenders, wings and burgers. The house seasoning provides a southern-style savoury base, while other flavour directions range from sweet and smoky barbecue to tangy Buffalo, zesty lemon and herb, and a honeyed chilli glaze. Hotter choices use Nashville-style seasoning, chilli oil or Scotch bonnet sauce, giving the menu a clear spicy edge.

Burgers are served with fried chicken and combinations of sauces, pickles, lettuce, slaw or shallots, depending on the flavour. Wings can be matched with cooling dips such as ranch or blue cheese, while comeback sauce is paired with some of the hotter options. The menu also includes loaded fries, cinema-style fries, garlic Parmesan tots and sweet chilli cauliflower bites for sharing or adding to a meal.

The setting leans into dive-bar character rather than formal dining. Metal is central to the venue's identity, with the soundtrack forming part of the experience alongside the food and drinks. The overall style suits diners looking for indulgent fried chicken, strong seasoning and a relaxed bar atmosphere rather than a quiet restaurant meal.

Bonehead operates on a walk-in basis, making it suitable for spontaneous meals, casual drinks and informal group visits. The combination of counter-style food, bar service and punchy flavours makes the venue a natural choice for fried-chicken fans and those who enjoy a music-led dining setting.
