Best Bars For A First Date in Birmingham

First date jitters are something that's hard to shake, so get yourself some New York-brand confidence at the Button Factory. The sleek interiors will make you feel right at home, while they serve you up a selection of delicious food from their Robata grill, or you can sit back and enjoy a cocktail in their sun-trap balcony.

We don't know about you, but cocktails are definitely the way to our hearts. If neon pink G&Ts, classic brambles and summer punches sound like your idea of a good time then book a table at Be At One and soak up a few cracking drinks.

Like to show that special someone the highest of highs on your very first date? If you're out to impress, you'd be hard pushed to ignore rooftop Birmingham bar Marco Pierre White Champagne Lounge at The Mailbox. Found in the iconic Cube Building, MPW Champagne Bar has 360 views of Birmingham city centre and lavish amounts of champagne to spoil that first date with. 

If you're after fun and food for your first date then this South American themed restaurant bar in Birmingham city centre could become a regular dating haunt. From tailor made mexican cocktails to cool and quirky surroundings, this bar will give you plenty to talk about and plenty to eat too. And if things go that well? Head downstairs to Sugarloaf for a fun DJ night out. 

This little restaurant bar in Birmingham's Harborne is just as charming as we hope your first date will be! From its own little tuck shop to one of the best beer gardens in town, The Plough is a merry and relaxed treat for fans of informal dates and lovely banter. 

One of our favourite spaces in the city where you can find a delicious dinner and drinks scenario as well as an array of entertainment perfect for your first date night in Birmingham. From comedy nights, to film screenings and live music, The Mockingbird Theatre is a beau for a buzzing atmosphere. 

Themed bars in Birmingham have a pretty sweet looking contender in the city centre. If your date likes fun, frivolity and charming hand made cocktails then you'd be crazy to avoid this botanical Victorian themed bar based around explorer Hettie G Watson. And if you're lucky enough, you may impress that date of yours with your secret bar knowledge, if you find it in there that is. 

Venture to the outskirts or Birmingham city centre and you'll find a charming and whimsical little restaurant bar in Birmingham that oozes Parisian charm. If you want a comfortable first date in the confines of great cocktails and bistro style grub then Arco Lounge is a great place for your very first date, hopefully the first of many! 

Now we know that some may consider music as the food of love, but how does the food itself fare? Take that first date for an adventure in all things steak as Anderson's Bar and Grill in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter promise a selection of some of the best award-winning meats sourced from award-winning butchers in the city, with their very own bespoke ale to boot!
