Birmingham's daytime drinking scene punches well above its weight. The canal-side terraces of Brindleyplace are the obvious starting point, with bar after bar spilling onto the waterfront when the sun appears. Digbeth brings a more creative, independent energy - container bars, street food, and a crowd who've made weekday afternoon drinking an art form. The Jewellery Quarter adds a neighbourhood pub dimension that the city centre can't match. Maximum options and a surprisingly sophisticated cocktail scene that most visitors never discover.
