Formerly the Medicine Bar that was closed down it reopened in August 2011 as a bar and grill. This…read morefour storey venue was always a great place for Friday and Saturday nights with a host of visiting DJ's, club nights and events. Sadly 78 seems more of a venue for hire whilst operating as a bar. They hold monthly networking events for the Custard Factory's resident creatives but lacks the impact of its former life. I recently ate there after attending the Vintage Fair at the Old LIbrary and considering how busy the Custard Factory and the Fair was the bar was very quiet. To be fair this may in part be down to it's distinct lack of openness to it's appearance as you approach the venue. It's dark depths make you question whether the door will open. Once inside these dark depths continued into the Ladies toilets where you questioned whether it was an aesthetic decision to create intimacy or just a few bulbs had gone. The comfy booths had a host of chairs surrounding them making you wonder if they were reserved or closed off, but I just shuffled my way through them. We had good table service and the menu had a range of salads, burgers and general pub food including offers. It wasn't a great lunch experience and the venue lacked an atmosphere for a sunny, busy saturday in Brum. A bit too quiet and lacking in identity. Hopefully it's just finding it's feet.

A bit far from the pub route of Digbeth, this bar usually held a lot of interesting events during the week but on a Sunday afternoon it seemed to be a very relaxing ambient. Pints are relatively cheap there and the football can be watched from a very comfy seat while you grab a bite. The food is nice as well. The usual 2 for £ 10 meal deals can be chosen from a good selection of burgers, fish & chips or pizzas. I wouldn't chose this bar to drink regularly among other good ones in Digbeth but I certainly will be back there if I am attending some event at Custard Factory, especially if I need to relax and calm down for some minutes during a very busy day.

The ambience and atmosphere is pitch perfect with the big open area, surrounded by leather seated cubicles. The manager is always very friendly and provide you with advice on what suits your taste. In my opinion, my usual order is always the Big Apple (Double Apple and Mint) with the ice base. They have 2 for £15 on Tuesday's so it provides you with more option to try other flavours. If your peckish, Arabesque also has a wide selection of hot foods and milkshakes that would delight your tastebuds. My usual order would be a shisha followed up with a pot of mint tea, always guaranteed to please with a group of friends. If you're looking for a place different to a bar or a club then this place is for you! Price ranges on avg £13 per shisha A regular here!

PST is fairly new to the Birmingham club world and started life out in Balsall Heath as a small get…read moretogether. The club now finds home on the emerging side of Digbeth, where many other venues establish hiding places from the usual taxi drop offs. In other words, be prepared to explain to taxi drivers exactly how to get here before starting off, otherwise you'll be driving around the back streets of Digbeth for hours! The club itself looks like a Tardis in the form of a small house from the roadside. But in fact, the venue is home to three large rooms. The basement, the main room and the newly extended rooftop. Nights on the rooftop are the perfect events for smokers, as they don't have to leave their position or miss out on any of the music. There is also food served on the roof, which to me is ingenious. Many times I have had to walk miles after a club night, in hope to find an open takeaway. But at PST, you don't have to go anywhere. To me, PST is Birmingham's defining reggae club, and holds a reggae and dub night every Thursday on the roof. These nights are always packed full of exceptionally friendly people, and the whole ethos behind the venue name People Stand Together (PST) also reflects this welcoming atmosphere perfectly. You really will struggle not to fit in here, and if you enjoy the sounds of underground music, then PST is definitely the venue to be at. I personally enjoyed a psychedelic trance night in the main room called Kanyini, which transported me back to what I'd except the 90s dance club scene to be like. Fluorescent walls, glow sticks and adrenalin driving beats!

Everyone I have ever come across there are some of the soundest, wildest and most chilled people I have ever met, they are enjoying life to the full, with some cool beverages, the occasional salt-fish patty and the finest music. I have witnessed a pop-up break dancing crew on one of the funk nights when there was a lot of 'old-skool' break being mixed, I did attempt to participate and whipped out my best wild, arm-flailing two-step. Once I realised I had just swiftly exhausted my whole dancing resume whilst they were still spinning on their heads, I decided to retire to the rooftop yard and lay-low for a while to avoid embarrassing myself any more. The rooftop yard just adds to PST's supremacy as a venue - the party goes on up there too when the skies are clear. PST is a venue that's on another plane in comparison to these big establishments - it's got character, authenticity and a crowd unlike any other. Get to PST and revel in the best vibes that Birmingham has to offer.

Do you suffer from the chain pub blues? Well, The Spotted Dog is here as a perfect cure for what…read moreales you! This pub is located in Deritend/Digbeth and has the look and feel perfect for Brum's Irish Quarter. It has a real sense of place and history, as should any pub with its own theme song (seriously, check it out on youtube). The landlord John has built a reputation as a friendly face of the pub and representative of the neighbourhood. In a sea of bars and gastropubs serving £12 'craft' cocktails, the Spotted Dog serves as a landmark of sanity. The pub has a charmingly worn interior that is ridiculously clean for a boozer in Digbeth. Table tops adorned with candles sit inside, while a side door through the lounge exits onto what is probably the best covered garden in the whole of Brum. The drinks menu is simple yet satisfying. You'll find some of the usual suspects like Guiness on draft in addition to several rotating real ales. Liquor covers a breadth of options, with regular specials. On jazz night (Tuesday), Bushmills Irish Whiskey can be had for a pound and certain ales for £2.50. Even on a normal night, The Spotted Dog is one of the best values in Birmingham. The pub opens at 5PM most nights (sometimes later in the winter). Crisps are offered as the only snack, so you'll want to plan for food accordingly. The customer service is above expectations. A friend and I stopped in one evening right as the pub opened to sip some whiskey. As the first and only customers for over an hour, John shared with us some special Polish vodka a personal friend had brought to him. One of his bartenders asked what music to put on over the sound system and his reply was 'anything you want, as long as it's Bo Diddley'. These types of charmingly quaint memories are what makes The Spotted Dog so special for me. If you are in search of a proper Irish pub experience, look no further than The Spotted Dog.

It has a…read moreslightly different feeling to the other bars in the area that makes it work well as a daytime lunch/drinks spot as well as a top nighttime location. The bar is very elaborately designed with large chandeliers and art work on nearly every surface or wall. The designers/owners have definitely adopted the 'more is more' approach here and it has worked well for them. The bar feels cosy and full of personality with welcoming bar staff and an equally lovely outside area/courtyard. As we all know happy hours/two for one offers on cocktails are a very good thing....Loft lounge has a two for one on selected cocktails most evenings after work! The drinks are well made and taste as they should, on our last visit our drinks did take a little while to come but the bar was very busy so this was completely understandable. If you are in the area loft lounge is well worth a visit. Great for meetings, lunch or as I mentioned a little after work drink with friends. On weekends the DJ's are also pretty good so this place also makes a good start to any night out. Ill definitely be back soon.
