Where to eat Bar food in Birmingham: The Best Restaurants and Bars
Find out what Bar restaurants to try in Birmingham. The geographical heart of England, Birmingham started life as a sixth- century Anglo-Saxon village. Today, much of this city of over a million dates back to post-WWII redevelopment in the 1950s and 60s. Cutting edge museums and galleries, innovative theaters and excellent shopping have contributed to Birmingham's appeal as a weekend break destination. Don't miss the hopping bars and cafes of Gas Street Basin or the fascinating creatures at the National Sea Life Centre.

It's nice to find a pub that's a bit more old English, rather than try-hard, light-wood trendy-modern. The interior decor is very well presented in the more traditional style, making it very warm & welcoming. There's a great selection of drinks on offer and some lovely down to earth food. All told, we had a great evening at the Old Contemptibles and will certainly go back.Hi MarkThanks for taking the time to leave a review. We take great pride in the pub we work in and glad you found us welcoming.We hope to see you again soon.Rob and the team

We headed here as we wanted somewhere we could walk to from our hotel and they were offering a 25% discount on food for Bloc Hotel guests. Always an incentive! It was quite early so the place was nearly empty but I can imagine it would be terrific later on when the place got going. We were greeted promptly and chose two different cocktails which were soon on the table. We ordered a selection of tapas dishes (only veggie) and again it all arrived in a timely fashion with just the tortilla coming out after everything else. All the food was delicious and we cleared every bit which I wasnât sure we would after seeing the amount of food we had ordered! It was all beautifully cooked and presented. We did both have another cocktail and all together they accounted for almost half the bill. Yes, they could be considered expensive (especially where I come from) but itâs not something we drink all the time. The gentleman who served us was pleasant and efficient. The 25% discount was very welcome but we would have no hesitation in visiting again without it!
