The Loft has classic drinks on lock, from premium spirits and craft beer to classic cocktails. The chic interior decor provides a cosy atmosphere and many places to sit, sip and chill.

To pair with your flavourful drinks and delicious homemade food is a weatherproof garden conveniently open all year round.

Scope out The Yard, their outdoor space for more fun games, like curling lanes and batting cages.

Step into history when you walk through the doors of The Old Crown. This venue is the oldest secular building that has existed since 1368.

The rustic interior decor has exposed brick and beautiful wooden elements that bring a cosy atmosphere while you’re enjoying a drink with friends.

The outdoor space is full of colour with large blue picnic tables and string lights that bring a fun vibe while you sip a beer with your mate.

While you're there, try their sourdough stone-baked pizza and select a drink from their extensive menu of traditional beverages like an Aperol Spritz.

Whether you pick a seat inside or outside, The Old Crown is a solid choice.

Luna Springs is a quirky, colourful jumble of vibrant decor and eclectic artwork everywhere. The fun atmosphere, great music, and delicious drinks make this venue a lively place to go with your friends to enjoy the outside air and the fun Birmingham nightlife.

If you're looking for a drink to sip on while enjoying the music check out the bar under the colourful tent. Try one of their signature drinks, like the Lunar Springs (gin, limoncello, white peach and citrus) or the Cosmic Sangria (merlot, berries, orange, gin and spices). Don’t forget to ask about their 2-for-1 cocktail deal.

This space is also available for private hire and can fit up to 600 standing guests for an all-out party, but there are more private facilities for an intimate event.

Introducing Birmingham’s (kind of) new outdoor bar, Bank. Having been closed for refurbishment, this venue is ready to open with a brand-new interior and menu. Exciting, right?

Open every day until late, Bank promises they have the sophisticated vibes of the finest brasseries. They serve seasonal food, taking particular pride in their beef.

For those wanting a post-work tipple or 2, consider visiting one of their 2 outdoor terraces. We all know what Birmingham weather can be like — rainy, cold, dreary. Basically everything but sunny. Well, Bank’s outdoor section is fit for all-weather, meaning being in Brum doesn’t have to hold you back.

Located on Brindley Place, you will have a great view of the canal too.

The Junction is located in Harborne and is open every day. Housed in a Victorian building, it certainly wins points for being aesthetic. Although you can sit inside, they have a great pub garden which we recommend you check out.

Decked in fairy lights and flowers, part of this Birmingham outdoor bar is sheltered in case of rain. They offer a range of drinks including craft beers, ciders and all of your favourite cocktails. From strawberry daiquiris to espresso martinis, The Junction has it all.

Feeling a little hungry? Well, this venue offers a sprawling menu — all seasonal and British-grown. Choose from options like British pork sausage and spring onion mash or a nourish bowl. We bet you’re hungry now.
