Want to meet your friends and support ace local businesses at the same time?
We have had SO many messages from you all asking us which independents in Birmingham offer outdoor seating so that you can meet your friends and loved ones for a bite to eat (and a drink, or three) – so we’ve curated this useful guide denoting which fabulous independents in Brum have outdoor seating, categorised by area for your ease of use.
Many of the businesses below feature on the Independent Birmingham App – meaning you can enjoy up to 25% off (alongside exclusive 2-for-1 offers, freebies, and more) at many of these fantastic independents, giving you EVEN more reason to get out there and support local. If you’d like to download the IB App and become a member for just £1.99 a month, and save money whilst supporting local at over 135 of Brum’s very best independents, you can do so here.
Note: Whilst VERY long, this is by no means a definitive list of every single venue in the entire of Birmingham that offers outdoor seating. Inevitably we will have missed a few places. If you’re an independent business who has outdoor seating at your venue, please email: hello@independent-birmingham.co.uk and we will include you in this article.
Although all of the venues in this article have some form of outdoor seating, it does not guarantee they will open from 12 April, and some will require advance booking – please check the website of your chosen venue for up to date opening and booking details.
Whilst hospitality businesses with outdoor seating can reopen from 12 April, please do also remember to continue to support the local independent venues in Birmingham who cannot offer outdoor seating (to discover Brum’s very best independents offering takeaway, collection and delivery services, click here). Our independents need us now more than ever, and any support really does make a huge difference.
