Find pubs in Birmingham

Birmingham is an impressive destination, whether you're seeking a solo adventure, a getaway with friends, a family day out, or somewhere new to explore with someone special.

Often regarded as England’s “second city” after London, this West Midlands gem boasts a rich history, more canals than Venice, and a vibrant cultural scene full of talent and character.

With so much to see and do, you'll need a spot to rest your feet and relax with great food and drinks. And when it comes to pubs in Birmingham, we can't think of a better host than Greene King.

Great pubs, great food, and great drinks

While Birmingham has so much to offer as a city, our range of Greene King pubs in and around it is just as diverse, from canal-side settings and historic haunts to quaint retreats tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre.

Stop by one of our pubs in Birmingham, and you’ll find all the Greene King beers at the bar, like our IPA, Flint Eye and Old Speckled Hen. As well as our generous range of beer at our bars, we’ve also got real ales, world wines, mixed spirits and cocktails on offer, as well as low and no-alcohol options.

If you’re feeling peckish, our pub restaurant food menus are filled with British classics and nostalgic dishes that feel like comfort on a plate, from fish and chips to Sunday roasts. Our chefs also enjoy adding a creative touch, serving up contemporary favourites with modern twists, along with indulgent puddings that are well worth saving room for.

We know dogs are a special part of the family, which is why our dog-friendly pubs offer a warm and waggy welcome to your pet pooches. Expect water bowls, doggy treats, and plenty of attention from our team of staff.

If you’re looking for somewhere to enjoy with the kids, our family-friendly pubs have menus for all ages and spaces that make everyone feel at home.

And sports fans searching for a place to watch live sport can consider us their matchday hosts, with plenty of our pubs showcasing the latest action with TNT Sports and Sky Sports.

Enjoy a beer by the canal

The Malt House is a historic pub dating back to the early 19th century, with roots in the malting trade, where grains were transformed into malt for flour and brewing. It feels like a natural evolution that the building would go on to become a pub, now offering patrons the very kinds of drinks it once helped bring to life. Located at the Old Turn Junction on the Birmingham canal, the waterside setting from the balcony and beer garden feels idyllic on a summer's day or evening. The location is such a great place, as it also sits across the water from the National Sea Life Centre, so you can enjoy a bite to eat before heading over.

Come for brunch and bring your pup

The Crabmill is positioned right in the heart of the village of Oldswinford, just Southwest of Birmingham. It gives you that small-town charm, while still being a short drive from the centre of Brum's action. It’s a dog-friendly pub too, so you can bring along your four-legged friends and enjoy hearty food cooked with care, including options for lunch and dinner.

More about Birmingham

Birmingham's rich history dates back to the 7th century, when it was an Anglo-Saxon hamlet. It was founded as a market town in 1166 before growing rapidly during the Industrial Revolution, earning the nickname of the 'City of a Thousand Trades'. Immerse yourself in the city's thriving cultural scene, from the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery to the Barber Institute of Fine Arts. Learn about the region's industrial heritage at the Black Country Living Museum or indulge your sweet tooth at Cadbury World in Bournville. Nature lovers can explore the Birmingham Botanical Gardens in Edgbaston or the National Sea Life Centre, just across the canal from the Malt House (one of the best pubs in Birmingham, if you ask us!).
