My usual drinking partner has let me down so I need food booze and entertainment for a lonely business visitor. Sad face. Staying nr new st. Chinatown

Glee Club

Close to where you’re staying, Meating is good in The Arcadian for food as is Chung Ying.
For beers, head to John Bright street, you got a good pub in The Victoria, you have a Brew Dog too.
And yes, Glee Club got entertainment. Or Legs 11, both close to you.

Or, just head to The Gay Village and see what you can find, there is some great bars and nights there whatever your sex or indeed sexual preferences.

Mmm. Maybe should have been more careful with my phrasing 😆

Not after gentertainment, more a music bar or something!

Home of the Balti.

See if there’s anything on at the sunflower lounge, just across the road (near New st)

Legs 11

Mr Egg?

Foodwise, I went to Nosh & Quaff the other week which was good – if a small menu. Original Patty Men serves a great burger too. Speaking of ctivities, The Electric is a great little cinema and I can recommend it.

Well I’ve Sebastianed this right up, checked out meating but was dead so after ambling about aimlessly for half an hour (really didnt fancy chinese)ended up in the crap Mexican in the arcadia cos there was at least a few in. Dreadful steak overdone, liked the cassava chips though, all 6 of them. Now in the wetherspoons round the corner, you can take the boy out if the north…..(2.49 a pint though)

And I’d imagine you’ve missed the Glee club. :(;

Definitely a bit late now (sorry different time zone), but next time this happens get down to the jam house. Walkable from new st easily, nearly always got some sort of live music on.

Ok, so for next time, and only suggesting things in that specific area:
Eat – Meating, Chug Ying, Original Patty Men.
Pubs – The Victoria, Brew Dog, Snobs (yes, the new bar is actually really nice), The Post Office Vaults.
Music/Ents – The Glee Club, The Institute in Digbeth, maybe even Island Bar.
