Brady, 46, attended the Royal George Hotel along with Blues Chairman Tom Wagner and CFO Gary Cook.
The seven-time Super Bowl winner was mobbed by fans and took scores of selfies before treating them all to a drink.
Brady forked out £150 on the hefty round at the Garrison Lane boozer before leaving a whopping £400 tab behind the bar.
Brady’s surprise visit stunned Pub owner Antoin McGroarty, who told Birmingham Mail: “I had no idea they were coming, out of sheer coincidence I’d asked a photographer to come in for the day to take some shots.
“I was standing behind the bar and it was such a shock. I couldn’t believe it.
“He’s probably the biggest sports star in the world and to pop into our pub, in the middle of Small Heath, it was amazing.
“That game will go down in history because of them taking over the whole club.
“You could see the whole day was electric before and after the game, with the two Toms coming in and the results.

“You don’t expect the biggest sports star in the world to walk in. There was a stampede for selfies after that.”
Brady was in attendance at St Andrew’s for Birmingham’s first home match of the new season, in which they ran out 1-0 winners over Leeds.
