The top 6 bars to hire in Birmingham

Looking for a bar hire in Birmingham that creates an aesthetic stir? The Botanist is the Birmingham bar for you.

This bar and restaurant are located on Temple Street, a short stroll from the transport hub of Birmingham New Street. This bar is a favourite haunt for those who want their bar to focus on cocktails that makes full use of botanical ingredients.

Food options range from BBQ and deli options to classic burgers and indulgent brunches. The decor runs with the secret garden theme – expect hanging baskets, wooden decor and lots and lots of plants. For bar hire in Birmingham, you’re hard-pressed to do better than The Botanist.

Activity bars are two for a penny these days. The cities of the UK are awash with flying axes, digitised dartboards and barely escapable rooms. Where Birmingham’s premium activity bar, Drop Shot Living, comes in is through sheer choice.

DropShot is a Birmingham activity bar with a difference. The difference? Drop Shot boasts, features a cocktail, craft beers, six Olympic-grade tennis tables, two shuffleboards, and many pool tables alongside pizzas and party music.

You can hire it out all to yourself, or (if you’re feeling generous) invite up to 400 guests. Sometimes more is more.

Piano and bar lovers of Birmingham: So you’ve seen Rocketman. You’ve put some Chopin on whilst opening that fancy bottle of wine. Have you, and be honest, sipped on a beautiful cocktail whilst two pianos duel it out? We thought not.

The concept is as simple as it is mad. Using an app you can request whatever song you like, and the two pianos will play. You can then dance, sing, nod along or just royally drunk.

The music doesn’t stop playing and the drinks don’t stop coming till the early hours of the morning. With a capacity of 200, you can book the whole place out and impress pretty much everyone.

Alexa, play Piano Man.

So it’s not just a bar, not really. It doesn’t matter though; The Compound might just be the most stunning venue in the entirety of Birmingham (there’s also an argument for the UK).

10,000 square feet of stunning space can be hired out for any private occasion you could imagine.

Alongside a kitchen, and a speakeasy bar, this Birmingham venue also boasts an art studio, balconies, bridges, a cinema, and much more (we only breached the first three letters of the alphabet there!).

You and 130 incredibly lucky guests could have the whole space to pretty much anything you could imagine. Yes, we are jealous.

Independent, friendly and a leading champion of craft beers and natural wines, this Birmingham bar makes full use of its community spirit to bring drinks, music and art together in a beautiful 3-floor 19th-century building.

Located in the Jewellery Quarter, 1000 Trades has a range of private spaces to hire.

Combine this with their top-tier sound system and generally saintly attitude towards things, and you have a winner.

A UK stalwart, the Bierkeller bar group has formed the foundation of many a booze-soaked adventure. Birmingham’s outpost is a reliably fun bar that has beerhall-style bench seating so getting a chair even on a busy night is realistic.

With an Oompah band playing at the weekend and a wide array of German beers on draught, it’s the best Birmingham bar to shout “Proust!” in.

For private hire the Birmingham City Centre bar allows you to book the main bar or the adjoining Sports Bar, and you can host anything from meetings and private parties to your own charity bar event.
