Ok chaps and chappesses, some advice please.

I’ve been living and working in nottingham for the last 13 yrs.

However despite starting a new job in Birmingham in January this is my first weekend in the city.

I know nothing about Brum whatsoever. I’ve got both afternoons free this weekend, what should I do?

The Wellington, 18 real ales on tap.

post office vaults, best foreign beers in the city & “interesting” clientel

I was always a big fan of the Custard Factory. TBH Brum has become unrecognisable since I lived there… for the better.

Thanks guys. Under normal circumstances pubs would be top of my list. But I’m oncall all weekend and can’t indulge.

They’re going on my To Do list for after I move here though.

Any other thoughts?

Barber institute.

New library, walk the canals and visit the canal side bars/cafés. Custard factory for the indie/alt scene.

Go to Yorks Bakery Cafe on Newhall st. Bike friendly, amazing coffee, cake & pizza.

And a lovely redhead that works there 😉

Visit Mr Egg in China town

You coulf do a lot worse than have a mooch in the art gallery. Or as somebody has said the canals are a nice place for a walk or ride if you have your bike. Moseley Bog if you are a Tolkien fan and remember Cannock Chase is only 40 mins away but watch out for those pebbles!

I think Mr Egg is no more.

There are 3 fairly central climbing walls?

Got the Two Towers to find too (Not that impressive but still interesting), new Library supposed to be impressive inside too. Got a car? Recce Clent/Lickey Hills/Sutton Park/Sandwell Park.. are worth a wander round on foot to find some trails & just a pleasant walkabout

I’m pretty sure he has a girlfriend

Awesome, loads of suggestions. Thanks so much.

Although I may have to distract the GF while I assess the merits of the redhead 😆

Mine fancies her 8)

Mr egg is no more it was shut for a while reopened then closed. Custard factory is good avoid broad St.china town is okay.

think the blues are playing at home tomorrow

sunday you are on your own…

Birmingham has an up and coming urban mtb scene

Razzing round car park vid

new library supposed to be impressive

Not as impressive as the magnificent brutalist central library designed by John Madin. Council should be ashamed.

Head to Adil’s in Sparkbrook, for a truly authentic curry experience.
Order a table Naan, I think they do Rasmaloy (or whatever it’s called), for pudding.
Mmmm.
