If The Button Factory is on your pub crawl route, you're in for a real treat. Situated on Frederick Street, the pub is located near other Jewellery Quarter gems such as The Red Lion. Ideal for bigger groups, there's plenty of pints to go around at this student spot.
Open until 2am, The Church Inn is situated in Jewellery Quarter and promises classic concoctions in a stylish space. Expect the likes of BrewDog cans, Peronis and plenty other classic drinks. You can also grab a cocktail or two if you're up for something different.
Named after First World War patriots and boasting only the most classic interiors, The Old Contemptibles has a pub atmosphere that many venues will only ever seek to find; cosy, comfortable and brimming with character. And if you're peckish, you can munch on calamari or house-cooked nachos.
But a stone's throw from The Old Contemptibles and found in the heart of the city, Bacchus is a broody underground lair of local ales, lush Medieval-style interiors and charming pub grub. The quirky decor and gold accents alone make this spot a memorable one.
One of the closest bars to Birmingham New Street Station, BrewDog is coming in hot with its iconic beer. Known for the feisty IPAs and international lagers, the venue also slings out wine, cocktails and sumptuous scran if you need a little food break in between sips.
If you've made it this far, congrats - now time to celebrate at The Distillery. The venue fronts a spacious beer garden and cosy interior with delicious bar snacks and plenty of drink options. We're talking craft cocktails, gin drinks and bottles of prosecco.
While it may be a 20-minute walk from the city centre or short cab ride, Dead Wax is one of the best bars for a Digbeth bar crawl. Enjoy settling into the venue's cosy beer garden while tucking into stone-baked pizza. Plus, it's got brews such as Beavertown and Laine Brew Co.
