Beer Gardens in Birmingham

Whilst seen as a relatively small beer garden in Brum, there's enough character in The Jekyll and Hyde's outdoor area that makes up for its size. With walls smothered in quirky interpretations of the ever so charming Alice in Wonderland tale, tailor made cocktails in this beer garden seem right at home in its cool and quirky surroundings.

Not only does The Distillery offer some of the finest gin in Birmingham, they have the perfect little plot to sink into on a summer's day.

Found amongst the leafy greens of Birmingham suburb Harborne is another great beer garden adventure. Outside the luxurious gastro pub that is The King's Head, this beer garden in Birmingham is not only surrounded by more greenery than you could ever want on a summer's day, but it's brimming with heated wooden tables and fun sunshine vibes.

Brimming with Moseley Village's rural charm is The Fighting Cocks' rustic beer garden.

Whilst quaint, this beer garden is a fun summer sun trap for Birmingham locals.

Head over to Moseley to find not only a cool and quirky burger joint, but also a hidden little beer garden. One Trick Pony have filled their outdoor space in Birmingham with park benches, potted plants and graffiti-style art.

There's plenty of space over at newbie The Canal House; from the same family as The Botanist, this canal-side joint as tables beside the water as well as a upper sundeck to catch some rays.
