The Roebuck

Located in Birmingham city centre, The Roebuck is a great shout for food and drink. Enjoy munching on slap-up roast dinners, beer-battered fish and buffalo chicken wings, while washing it all down with a cocktail or pint of beer.

The Junction

Located on Harborne High Street, The Junction has been a linchpin of the community as far back as 1904. Alongside cosy interiors full of vintage touches and a pretty alfresco courtyard, they'll sort you for some serious grub, including sticky pork belly with sweet potato wedges.

The Tap & Spile

Old-school interiors and canalside views make up the charm of The Tap & Spile in Birmingham. Soak up the cosy vibes while exploring their selection of ales, beers and cocktails ranging from long island iced teas to G&Ts and a punchy pornstar martini. As for the food? Bag three small plates for just £9.99, including nachos, katsu chips and onion rings. On the weekend this watering hole comes alive with live music and karaoke until 4am. 

The Royal

A pub with a striking and stylish yet also traditional look, The Royal is a boozer that shouldn't be missed out on. Expect velvet church pew booths and rich mahogany colours, alongside HD screens around the Church Street venue - plus a menu spanning everything from gourmet burgers to pizza and grilled plates too.
