Restaurants and pubs in Birmingham with outside space to mix households

Posted on March 1, 2021April 20, 2021 by Laura

In light of the hospitality restrictions changing on April 12th (allowing you to mix with up to 6 people outdoors) here’s a quick read list featuring bars, cafes, restaurants and pubs in Birmingham with outside space to mix households.

I’ve split them alphabetically into areas in a bid to be helpful but all types of hospitality venues are included. Some have lots of space and some have hardly any – it’s up to you to research them, check availability/opening dates and ask about things like heat lamps, if you feel that’s necessary. The rule of 6 remains regardless until June, as does table service and mask wearing when not seated.

Unsurprisingly I’ve been asked about this a lot over the last week, but please remember your inside-only venues need your love and support too. Appreciate it’s all difficult to navigate over the next few months but don’t neglect your favourites that have no outdoor space to offer you. We’re in use it or lose it territory for many – make sure you’re supporting the places that have treated you well before (not just those with a heat lamp) in some way too. A lot have at home kits and merchandise to flog you etc. 

I’ll keep adding to the list (trying to keep it mostly local businesses) and feel free to send me suggestions to include. Remember that pre booking is probably helpful in the week’s leading up to April but be patient – not all venues have their booking systems set up yet.

*Don’t forget there’s new parklets (static tables and benches to meet at) from ColmoreBID in the city centre you can use too – they’re free and can be found outside places like Hotel du Vin and Purecraft Bar and Kitchen.

Huge congratulations to @passingfancies.bar and @c Huge congratulations to @passingfancies.bar and @couchstirchleyb30 on their wins at the @classbarmag awards last night. Brilliant people doing brilliant things to make living in Brum all the better. Proud as fuck, as always 🖤
Soi 1268 is now open and it’s absolutely wonderf Soi 1268 is now open and it’s absolutely wonderful. From the same babes that bring you @saibuddhabelly, this new Stirchley restaurant is just delightful. You can expect some of your old favourites (hello beef massaman, I love you) and new dishes like the spicy flavour bomb that is the pad cha het. Mushrooms have never been that sexy: fact. Have no doubt this place will be very popular - big love to the team behind it ♥️
ad/press trip | Had a bloody lovely time up in (an ad/press trip | Had a bloody lovely time up in (an usually sunny) Manchester yesterday to meet the @bundobust gang ahead of their launch in Brum at the start of June. 

Aside from the fact that we had a glorious time drinking all the beers and cocktails (and shots, buts that’s a story for another time) the food was delicious and the people behind this concept couldn’t be nicer human beings. 

Here’s a haphazard glimpse at what you can expect when Bundo Brum lands - long story short it’s fab Indian street food that happens to be all veggie but manages to not make that their entire personality. Lush picky bits, perfect alongside bevs including their own beers. 

I’m honestly really excited to see this launch in our city and I’m equally thrilled the old Pint Shop site is FINALLY going to be something affordable, accessible and delicious. I hope you love this as much as I do when it opens ♥️ 

Thanks to @whittleldn for organising a really great day. To the train home reprobates: let’s never speak of that again 💀🤣

Thirsty Thursday klaxon! Hello and welcome to the Thirsty Thursday klaxon! Hello and welcome to the Jewellery Quarter @barrelstorejq. Lots of @atticbrewco beers as you’d expect plus cocktails. Funky little space, nice people behind the bar, decent tunes. Ideally located to link up other beery places like The Wolf and North for a crawl. Currently open Thursday to Sunday, food will be coming soon. Cheers to you, TBS ♥️
ad | One for the carnivores today! Here’s a litt ad | One for the carnivores today! Here’s a little something to whet your whistles from @barandblock that’s just opened at Exchange Square. This is a big ol’ restaurant with plenty of outdoor space too. There’s a host of signature special dishes for the non steak fans (including some lovely sounding stuff for the pescatarians out there) but my eyes were firmly on the beef. The fillet arrived a beautiful medium rare and it was nice to be able to choose an accompanying side other than chips. Long live the jacket spud! Loved the mega rich blue cheese sauce, too. I would say, the small plates weren’t particularly noteworthy (the prawns were a bit overcooked and the scallops needed to see more of the pan) and I think the mains could be presented better, but overall it’s fair-priced city centre offering with plenty of variety (the menu is massive) and handily it’s open 7 days a week. Bonus: there’s 2 for 1 on selected cocktails from 5-7pm, too. Go for happy hour, eat a steak, skip the starters 👍🏼
Happy hump day! I slept for 13 hours and feel like Happy hump day! I slept for 13 hours and feel like a new woman after a mad week of birthdays, parties and hens. Speaking of which, it’s not every day you get to go on a hen with one of the best private chefs in Birmingham, let’s be honest. Shout out to @_tuttoapposto (otherwise known as Ang) for filling us with delicious treats including the world’s horniest lasagne and her mahoosive arancini. She’s also an absolute diamond of a human so give her a follow ♥️ Have a good week!
People bang on a lot about @tropea_harborne being People bang on a lot about @tropea_harborne being brilliant. They’re right. Faultless from start to finish when I visited last week, but I’d like to give a special shout out again to the courgette flowers stuffed with goats cheese and mint (that will continue to live rent free in my head) and the onglet steak - I’d probably marry it if it wasn’t frowned upon.
Felt a bit fancy over my birthday and took myself Felt a bit fancy over my birthday and took myself to @restaurantadams for lunch. Opted for the 5 courses (you can have 3 or 7 if you prefer) you can see here if you swipe through - the menu is at the end for a breakdown of the dishes. 

The main reason I wanted to post this is to thank the guys working that day for making me feel special but not weird for being a solo diner. I’ve talked a lot about this in the past and believe firmly anyone should be able to eat a meal out comfortably alone - whether that be a fast food joint or a Michelin star restaurant. 

I loved this lunch and the service made it extra special. Big love to Team Adams ♥️
38 and feeling great 🥳 I mean, let’s be rea 38 and feeling great 🥳 

I mean, let’s be real: I’m hungover as fuck. Buttt I had the most delicious day celebrating my birthday with some of my favourite humans. Thanks to all those that came out to get me sloshed (I took no photos, sign of a good night) and for all the bday love here 🖤 You made an old emo lady very happy. 

I’ve woken up with all of my make up still on and no idea what happened after midnight, so yay me! Swipe for some classic instagram v reality 😬

Started the fun a bit early today with my mum and delicious things at @arch13bar washed down with fizz. Then I got my spa on and paid a stranger to rub me up for a bit while I napped. Put this through as a work expense - can’t wait to argue with my accountant about it next year 🤣 Anyway, a lovely b’day eve was had. Am going to make a shit load of pasta and go to bed early else Santa won’t visit or something. Baiiii✌🏼

Sunshine, mini breaks, bank holidays, friends galore, amazing food and lots of laughs. 

If you can see yourself in this one feel privileged because it’s been a mega busy month and I couldn’t fit a lot of it in the 15 seconds 🤣

Aware this one is quite insufferable and probably a bit smug but I spent winter miserable and sad so don’t hate me for finding some joy in life plz✌🏼😆

Next stop: birthday month (likely to be even worse. Sorry not sorry..)

Back from the most gorgeous 3 days in Alicante enj Back from the most gorgeous 3 days in Alicante enjoying lots of sunshine, tapas and cocktails with la babe @philipellis. Despite apparently being incapable of being in bed before 2am, it’s been a right old lol and full of lush grub. 

Had a lot of messages about the apartment while out there - tbf it was absolutely beautiful and the location couldn’t have been more perfect. Right in the heart of the old town, two mins walk from the marina and surrounded by loads of bars, cafes and restaurants. The attic apartment is spacious and modern inside but it’s the awesome views from the massive roof terrace (of the cathedral and castle) that make it so special. We loved staying here 🥰 Link to the Air BnB listing is here (https://tdy.lol/LSPqs) if you want to look into renting it. 

Highly recommend visiting said castle for the views but be aware it’s up a mountain. You can get a lift for a few euros (from the seafront) if you can’t be arsed to do the 90+ min walk uphill. Oh and don’t be a div like me and wear flip flops - the castle grounds are steep, rocky and slippy in parts. My hungover ass was humbled, let me tell you. 

Anyway, here’s the highlights reel including our smug golden hour snaps and loads of food… like, shit loads of food. Stick to small plates and paella on the side streets (away from the marina/beach where it’s ££ and the service isn’t as nice) and you’ll have a proper lovely time. 

Oh and girls: don’t take heels. The streets around old town are steep and many are cobbled/badly lit - stick with flats✌🏼

Here endeth the sunshine spam, I’m as cold and miserable as everyone else again now. Adiós, amigos.
