The Tap & Spile

Old-school interiors and canalside views make up the charm of The Tap & Spile in Birmingham. Soak up the cosy vibes while exploring their selection of ales, beers and cocktails ranging from long island iced teas to G&Ts and a punchy pornstar martini. As for the food? Bag three small plates for just £9.99, including nachos, katsu chips and onion rings. On the weekend this watering hole comes alive with live music and karaoke until 4am. 

The Royal

A pub with a striking and stylish yet also traditional look, The Royal is a boozer that shouldn't be missed out on. Expect velvet church pew booths and rich mahogany colours, alongside HD screens around the Church Street venue - plus a menu spanning everything from gourmet burgers to pizza and grilled plates too.

The White Hart, Birmingham

The White Hart in Birmingham is the kind of pub that feels like home, with a fresh, modern energy. Perfectly balancing traditional pub charm with a contemporary touch, it's a great place to unwind, whether you're grabbing a drink with friends or enjoying a delicious meal.

The menu boasts a range of mouthwatering dishes, from pub classics to seasonal delights, all designed to complement an impressive selection of beers, wines, and cocktails. 

The Roebuck

Located in Birmingham city centre, The Roebuck is a great shout for food and drink. Enjoy munching on slap-up roast dinners, beer-battered fish and buffalo chicken wings, while washing it all down with a cocktail or pint of beer.

The Junction

Located on Harborne High Street, The Junction has been a linchpin of the community as far back as 1904. Alongside cosy interiors full of vintage touches and a pretty alfresco courtyard, they'll sort you for some serious grub, including sticky pork belly with sweet potato wedges.
