We all get lazy; it's almost unavoidable, and the temptation to sit in your pyjamas, eating terrible food and watching trash TV with your partner is sometimes too much to resist. But to keep things carefree and maintain a permanent smile on their face, it's crucial that we shake off our temptations and instead explore the amazing cities that we all live in. To help, we've looked and looked, and found a number of speakeasies, rooftop bars and romantic havens for you to explore with that someone special. So with no more gilding the lily, here's a list of 10 great bars to take your boyfriend in Birmingham.
The Botanists has all the tools you'll ever need for a slightly quirkier couples night out in Birmingham. Serving their drinks in watering cans and with walls covered in green plants, the team behind this venue have let their green fingers take over. The cocktail list is made up of plant-inspired creations, and the nightly entertainment spellbinds guests into a green haze. Finally, horticulture that we can get behind!
Keeping the Soul and Motown movement upon its pedestal, the Night Owl in Digbeth opens its door each evening, bestowing the gift of Northern Soul to each of its visitors. Scattered throughout the bar are a number of 60s, 70s and 80s memorabilia, such as quaint record players, old typewriters and bookshelves of vinyls. Keep your partner on their toes and dance long into the early hours at this late night bar for couples.
Inspired by the Parisian saloons of old, Arco Lounge seems to have been created specifically for Birmingham's date nights. Kitted out with idyllic lampshades, leather furniture and candle-lit wooden tables, the entire bar has an air of carefree romance and nostalgic indulgence. The bar's cocktail list completes the experience, with the likes of a Strawberry Jam Daquiri and a Sherbet Treat leaving each guest with a beaming smile.
