BrewDog Birmingham

Vegan Monday and 1 other offer

Yeah yeah, so beer is pretty cool, but you know what is cool? Craft beer! A quirky beer institution unto its own, Brewdog in Birmingham's John Bright Street are at the forefront of the independent beer movement, inviting the city's hipsters to dabble in some of the finest flavours to be found. From its basement lounge to nitty gritty urban interiors, Brewdog is a hit-ster with the hipster. 

Urban

Rumour has it that the hipster likes nothing more than a cup of the granulated good stuff with a dash of beer on the side, and they're lucky enough in Birmingham to have somewhere they manage to get both. A cool, relaxing cafe bar in Birmingham, Urban Coffee Company promise a relaxing escape from the droves of city centre clones. 

The Sunflower Lounge

Hipsters hate chain bars, we read it in the little book of hipster don't you know, and thankfully The Sunflower Lounge isn't one of them. A cool independent bar brimming with the city's vibrant youngsters looking for fellow cool kids to share the night with, The Sunflower Lounge is packed with perfectly tousled hair and purposely torn jeans looking for live music and economical tipples. 

Spotlight

What with street food, warehouse venues and cocktails being classed as the top totty when it comes to all things cool, you hipster hottie's will be happy to hear that there is a bar in Birmingham boasting all three. Stuff your cool little faces with street food on a Friday thanks to Digbeth Dining Club then saunter inside for a jaunt on Spotlight's collection of vintage furniture, home away from home eh?
