In light of the new tier 2 Covid restrictions, here’s a quick read list featuring bars, cafes, restaurants and pubs in Birmingham with outside space to mix households.
I’ve split them 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 and ask about things like heat lamps, if you feel that’s necessary. The rule of 6 remains regardless.
Unsurprisingly I’ve been asked about this a lot over the last few days, but please remember your inside-only venues need your love and support too. Appreciate it’s all difficult to navigate (and yes if you want to meet up with family or friends it needs to be outside) 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 ✌🏼 I’ll keep adding to the list (trying to keep it mostly local businesses) and feel free to send me suggestions to include.

Wash your hands and wear a mask when moving in and around venues. If you need clarification on the current restrictions this previous blog post might be useful.
*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.
I’m sure I’ve missed loads – if you want to be added or have a suggestion for restaurants and pubs in Birmingham with outside space let me know.
