@ The Actress & Bishop on Sat, 9th Jul 2022 @ 20:00 - 22:00
If you and the other half are a fan of The Smiths, then you need to check out this gig. Taking place at The Actress & Bishop, the tribute band These Smiths will dazzle you with their uncanny impression of Morrissey and the gang as they bleat out their best tunes.
@ Zumhof Biergarten on Saturday 21st May 2022 and 4 other Saturdays
Treat beau to something a little different for date night and check out Zumhof Biergarten's Party n Paint event. This cool activity will have you both getting all creative with paintbrushes and easels, but will also have you sipping on booze and dancing to some first-class tunes.
Do you think that panoramic views of the skyline may just cut the romantic mustard? Marco Pierre White does. Opening up his very own steak and Champagne bar at the top of Brum's iconic Cube, MPW has created an amorous atmosphere in the heart of the city with plenty of premium bottles of bubbly to boot.
Subtle Parisian chic and crafty cocktails, this spot has it all. A relaxed and cosy restaurant bar in Harborne, Arco Lounge is a great first date venue to get to know each other over a bottle or two. How about wowing your date with a cool urban myth? Because apparently this bar may in fact be owned by none other than Banksy.
If you're looking for something a little unusual for your next couple's night, then this authentic Polish restaurant is the place to head. The eccentric venue is decorated in the style of an old Polish country cottage, complete with ornate wall-paintings, fake fur blankets and bizarrely fantastic decorative ornaments.
Tucked away behind what seems like someone's front door is the most intimate bar you could hope to find. Wow your date with your knowledge of this hideaway heaven, featuring a bar that stocks over 140 different kinds of gin, each served with a garnish and tonic that perfectly complements the flavour.
Searching for something a little different with your other half? Then how about a unique and cleverly crafted event at The Electric Cinema? Hailed as one of the UK's oldest working cinemas, the venue boasts red velvet furniture and sharing sofas for a perfect laid-back evening of thrilling scenes and independent movies.
