A Brummie Home and Abroad Guide to 48 Hours in Birmingham, Birmingham, England
It was a #LikeALocal prompt from the peeps at聽GoEuro聽that reminded me that I had never done a city guide for my own hometown. So what would I recommend for visitors to Birmingham with a weekend to play with?
If you鈥檝e arrived on a Friday and are ready for a drink or two and a bite to eat, look no further than聽Digbeth Dining Club. It鈥檚 about a 10 minute walk from the city centre, even less if you鈥檙e arriving in Brum by National Express Coach. If you鈥檙e venturing into Digbeth then you may as well start off at聽The Old Crown, a 640-something year old pub with olde-world charm, and a great big beer garden. As tempting as the menu is, move practically next door to the two or three units and covered courtyard which make up Digbeth Dining Club. There鈥檚 a rotating guest list of some of the Midland鈥檚 best street food vendors, and it鈥檚 highly likely you鈥檒l find something to please everyone. Dishes are usually around 拢6-拢8 each and there are three bars, including a specialist gin and cocktail bar hidden upstairs at Mama Roux鈥檚. My personal DDC favourites are Buddha Belly, The English Indian and Kebab Cartel, with sugar cravings satisfied by The Bournville Waffle Company. ......
