Street food fanatics rejoice as Hockley Social Club is a paradise for all things tasty and the biggest destination for this type of grub in the UK. Founded by the team behind Digbeth Dining Club, the Jewellery Quarter bar is one of the busiest in the city, packing tones of flavour with dishes on weekly rotation.
Practice your aim with 180 Club at The Rectory in St Paul's Square. This social darts party bar is serving up delicious cocktails to quench your thirst between games across six darts lanes. Grab your mates and head down for some top-notch nibbles and competitive fun.
Presented to you by Jools Holland himself, The Jam House is perfect for live music in the Jewellery Quarter. Host to bands almost every evening, you can hear the line-up at this venue entertaining the Brummie hordes over drinks and dinner, from nearly a mile down the road.
Occupying Vertu's old space, The Button Factory is a pared-down, New York-style bar with minimal chic interiors and a lovely little outdoor terrace. The bar specialises in cocktails including classics such as a margherita and a selection of bellinis and martinis.
Great live music and brilliant drinks are wonderfully married together at the Actress and Bishop in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter. With some of the city's brightest young talents on stage, guests can soak up everything this bar has to offer from the bar to kitchen.
40 St Paul's is one of the stunning bars in the Jewellery Quarter and a gem in the city's bustling drinks scene. Step inside and you'll discover an intimate space made up of cosy black booths, dark wooden tables, a full-stocked bar of many gins from across the glove and just 24 seats.
The Wolf prides itself on having a stripped-back appeal that caters to everybody, serving up great craft ales, bottled beers, and tasty coffee alongside sandwiches, pies and pastries to eat. This friendly pub is perfect for everything from morning coffees to late night sessions.
The Church Inn echoes the charm and sophistication of a Prohibition-era speakeasy with its rich colours and candle-lit character. Pairing elegant cocktails and a menu of soul food, guests can enjoy craft beer or spritz on the rooftop terrace when the weather allows.
Fronting quirky decor, exposed brick and a rustic chic vibe throughout, Saint Pauls House is a stunner. It's got a huge range of white and red wine if you're a vino lover, or you can get stuck into cocktails - think pornstar martinis, zombies and much more.
A local legend for craft brews, 1000 Trades is a go-to for those big on brews from local creators and further afield. Add in the bar's collection of art from Birmingham's best artistic talents and live music on the regular, and you've got one heck of a Jewellery Quarter bar.
Fredericks Coffee Lounge and Bar has transformed into the late-night live music venue, Acapella. Located in the bustling Jewellery Quarter, the bar combines drinking and entertainment all week, bringing together a roster of different acts, with live music on Fridays and Saturdays.
