Shop Local. Celebrate The Unique. Believe In Birmingham.
Independent Birmingham is your go-to guide to discovering Birmingham’s independent culture.
Dedicated to unearthing the very best of Birmingham’s hidden gems and best-kept secrets, we tour the city in search of the unique and the inspiring – shedding light on these wonderful establishments, their stories and their quirks, so as to inspire you to rediscover your city, one hidden gem at a time.
And now you can enjoy up to 25% off (alongside exclusive 2-for-1 offers, freebies, and more) at over 150 of the very best independents across Birmingham and Solihull, right at your fingertips, with the Independent Birmingham App – all for just £1.99 a month.
Available to download now on Apple and Android, the IB App is your key to the city – allowing you to explore Birmingham like never before, and making you fall in love with this city all over again.

With an average readership of 100,000 unique visitors a month and a highly-engaged social media platform of over 145,000 followers across Facebook, Twitter and Instagram – with mentions in national newspapers (The Guardian, The Independent), named by Twitter UK as one to follow to discover Birmingham, named by The Birmingham Post as one of the 250 most influential people in the region, and named as one of Birmingham Live’s 30 Under 30 – Independent Birmingham has helped pave the way for new (and old) independent businesses to blossom in the city and championed a revolution of local.
Believe in Birmingham. A tagline coined on the first day that Independent Birmingham began it’s journey – a dig at those on the outside who have, over the years, shot our city down in magazines and newspapers and on social media. Once perceived as a concrete jungle where no innovation took place, our city is now home to an incredibly exciting food and drink scene, spearheaded and championed by our independents, and all eyes are on us. Independent culture is coming to the forefront. Now, more than ever, we are starting to believe in Birmingham.

In addition to IB App, we regularly host massive food and drink festivals, held at iconic locations and attended by thousands of people – with many more great events to follow. In the process of writing this love letter to Birmingham, we’ve created a whole platform for celebrating independent culture. Reigniting the fire for Birmingham independence and helping people to rediscover their city, one hidden gem at a time.
But enough of about why the IB App is the best product of its kind in the city, here’s a list of every business offering discounts and deals for Independent Birmingham Members, lovingly curated and helpfully categorised by area (with many more set to join).
