The Ruin

The Ruin is a venue in Digbeth modelled on the ruin bars on Budapest.

Trading the chic of other cocktail bars in the area, this Grade II listed building is full on shabby, with ruined doors, a worn-down fireplace, a chandelier, and a collection of random artefacts. Amongst old books and Amstrad computers, there’s also cool street art dotted about – particularly in the outside seating area.

But while the interior is a ruin, the beer certainly isn’t. As well as your standard selection of brews, they’ve got a selection of cask ales and ciders too, as well as a great selection of craft bottled beer.
