Best Tapas Restaurants In Birmingham

For the best small plates in Birmingham, All Bar One is serving up much more than pretty cocktails and brunches. Head there on a Tuesday and you can snap up four small plates and a bottle of house wine for just £24.95. 

At Vagabond, you and your friends can have a few glasses of vino from their special wine machines, followed by some of the best tapas in Birmingham city centre. That means lip-smacking padrón peppers, croquetas de jamón and much more.

Txikiteo is where Birmingham meets the Basque Country, offering an authentic pintxo experience in the heart of the Jewellery Quarter. This cozy and contemporary space is perfect for long lunches, casual dinners, or drinks with friends.

Their small plate menu is all about fresh, bold flavours, featuring classics like patatas bravas, calamari, and marinated olives, alongside innovative vegetarian and vegan dishes. Pair it all with a Spanish wine or a signature cocktail, and you've got the recipe for a memorable meal.

Washworx is a lively cocktail bar and lounge in the heart of the Gay Village, offering up an inclusive space for social groups wanting to sip cocktails in a trendy setting, feast on tapas plates or party until 2am to live DJ sets – or all of the above. 

Take a seat on one of their comfy leather sofas among the ambient lighting and orange-led interiors for a gathering fuelled by inventive cocktails, draught beers and premium spirits. The tapas dishes pack a whole lot of flavour and are designed to share across the table – they also host a tapas bottomless brunch featuring two hours of endless drinks and a drag star host. 

We'd be silly not to mention Plates By Purnell on our list, as this venue is truly a top-notch dining experience. Enjoy tucking into tapas whipped up by Glynn Purnell - we're talking smoked anchovies, gambas al ajillo, and cured meats.

Whilst petite, this bar in Moseley is an intimate affair for date night. Flaunting plates at just £5 a pop, La Plancha is coming up trumps with its Spanish cuisine, thanks to a cracking atmosphere and well, cocktails, lots of them at that.

A charming little hideaway offering the best tapas in Harborne, Arco Lounge is an intimate bar that boasts a tapas menu to boot; pair with a lemon-flavoured sherbet and you've got something of a taste adventure on your hands. 

Loco Lounge not only fronts vintage furniture, relaxed vibes and quirky cocktails but it also happens to be quite affordable. Tuck into three tapas and a glass of wine for just £11.75. We recommend delving into the patatas bravas - they're to die for.

Bar Estilo is a bit of a no-brainer when it comes to tantalising tapas. Filled to the brim with sumptuous starters, the venue slings out the most delicious chorizo cooked in red wine, alongside baked sardines and crispy calamari.
