This is a seriously beautiful setting in a converted building just on the outskirts on Birmingham city centre. You really get the vibe that you are out of the city centre with loads of light flooding into the beautifully designed dining space. The menu is pretty simple on Sundays with roasts and a few items from the main menu. I decided to go for the curried fish cakes (trying to not eat carbs) which was well presented but a little light on the spicing for me....still tasty but was missing a little bit of heat. My mates all went for a roast. It was a shame as the meat and potatoes came out cold and needed to be remade leaving a few of us waiting for them to eat. The food was decent when it was all eventually on the table but it kind of detracted from the overall experience for me. I would go back here as maybe they were just having a busy/tough day. The resturant is truly beautiful I would just like the service to match it.

Looking for an excuse to feel like a sophisticated vintage connoisseur, without actually knowing…read moreanything about wine? Then Loki is the place to be. Hidden away in the charmingly historic Great Western Arcade in the centre of Birmingham, this spot is a gem--like a treasure chest full of wine, with little tasting notes as the map. The magic happens with the tasting machines, where you can try up to 40 wines by the glass--not all at once, you rascal! Want to sample a few without committing to a whole bottle? You can try sips for around £1. It's a great way to find your new favorite drop without the commitment anxiety. Plus, they have these super cool self-service Loki cards, or you can (as I did) trade your credit card for a temp. Get guidance from the lovely staff if you're overwhelmed by all the choices (I was). The selection is as diverse as it is vibrant, with wines from all over the world, and the best part? They're all served at the exact temperature the makers intended--no warm, sad wine here. Looking for sweet wines, my partner and I enjoyed an airy Gewürztraminer, a super fantastic vintage port from Warre, and a delightful coffee-noted port from Penfolds. I also sampled a yummy, peppery and full-bodied Shiraz. While I didn't try the food, the menu looks like it would be the perfect pairing with any glass you pick. Cheese boards, meat boards, olives, focaccia, you know the stuff. Whether you're an aficionado or a casual enthusiast (like me), Loki Wine is a great spot for a laid-back yet luxurious experience. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Brum.

Loki is a technically a wine shop but it has a few unique selling points…read more 1. Phil is super knowledgeable and approachable. If you have a question about wine or need a recommendation he will help you! 2. The beautiful location in Great Western Arcade. The store itself is exceptionally stylish too, all wood shelves, tables made from barrels and a lovely upstairs seating area. 3. It's not just a shop- you can try wines too. You can pick up a card, load it with money, pop the card into the amazing wine dispenser (!) select a small or large taster or a whole glass, and the wine is dispensed into the wine glass you have taken from the rack above. There's a variety of decent reds and whites available. These are good quality wines so a full bottle isn't a cheap option. So having the option to have a good sized sample for anything from 90p-£2 means you can feel more confident buying the whole bottle. So when you've picked a glass of wine you like, you can take it upstairs, sit on the seats, order a cheese or meat board (from Anderson and Hill across the way) and have a completely relaxing afternoon. Even the olive oil is amazing. Highly recommended.

Searching for a place for the penultimate Football League match of the year led me to Penny Blacks…read morein the Mailbox. It was my first visit to any of the bars sitting opposite the canal, but I shall definitely be back soon. Penny Blacks had a fairly upmarket feel to the place, with a large projection of the football in the middle of the bar. For a Saturday afternoon It wasn't that busy, but still managed to have a slightly upbeat atmosphere throughout. The seating was extremely comfortable, with various sofas dotted about. The location itself is fantastic. Being feet away from the canal on days like Saturday, with the sun beaming down, Penny and Blacks is potentially one of the best bars I have been to in the surrounding area. Despite not ordering any food, I had a quick look at the menu and I can honestly predict that I'll be back to have a bite to eat and a few beers when the football kicks off this summer.

Part of the huge 'MailBox' retail and restaurant development in central Birmingham, Penny Black's…read moreis a wine-bar and restaurant with a fabulous location on the Gas Street canal basin in Birmingham. On sunny days and at week-ends, the whole area is buzzing with people, with narrow-boats chugging past. Modern and spacious (almost cavernous) with lots of wood, it's a very pleasant venue, although pole position has to be at the front (or on the canal-side terrace itself) so you can see the canal. Service was friendly and reasonably fast, despite the fact that they had a lot of food orders at the same time. The wine selection looks pretty good, but actually they have a fantastic selection of real ales, including some less-well known types. These were well served and well kept, and we could easily have spent the whole afternoon there. (Ok, we did..) The food isn't quite as swish as the web-site implies - I thought it was decent, if slightly pricey, pub grub. However, portions were generous, so overall it was good value for money. I'd happily go back.

Despite this bar being practically on my doorstep, I have only been down a couple of times. It's…read morejust off St Paul's Square, meaning it's the perfect spot to stop by and grab a quiet drink or some food. Externally it's very pretty. Many of the old features of the building have been preserved, whilst the big glass doors give it a modern twist. It's much the same inside with red brick walls and a laid back, classy vibe with comfortable furniture. It has a bar and a restaurant area inside, but during quiet periods you are allowed to take your drinks into the seating are (normally reserved for diners) and enjoy the generously sized booths. Your lowest priced bottle of wine is £18.95 and a pint will set you back just shy of £4 (so it's not cheap). I must confess, I've never eaten here; but the menu is reasonably priced with most mains being priced between £10 - £15 (steak is a little more, as you would expect). It normally has a couple of ales on tap (I partook of a pint of the Hereford Pale Ale last night which was most pleasant), but the wine list and bar choices are very varied. It seems to attract an eclectic crowd, but mostly locals in the week. On the weekend it can get very busy (so best to book if you wish to eat). If you haven't been before, I would give it a go; it really is a beautiful well kept space.

This is one of my favourite places as this quirky venue offers stylish surroundings that are…read moreperfect for a pre-Saturday night out on the town or drinking round St Pauls Square. We often choose to start our evening here as we can sit and enjoy a bottle of wine whilst actually being able to talk to each other. and there is always music on in the background. Price wise, it's not the cheapest of bars but when you go out on the weekend you kind of expect a bottle of wine to be around £15 and beers from £3.50. The bar staff are normally pretty quick at serving you and up for a chat too whilst you wait to get served.
