Top boozers in Birmingham
To be honest, when it comes to boozers, Brum has some real dives. Luckily for you, us lovely Itchy folk have done all the hard work for you and reviewed the best and the worst, so your evening's drinking need not be disturbed by sub-standard head.
This brings us nicely on to another of life's great pleasures: happy hour. It never seems to end at the Figure of Eight (236-239 Broad Street, 0121 633 0917), where promos run from opening (9am, no less) 'til the last stragglers have fallen out the door.
For an after-work/play wind down, it's 2-4-1 on cocktails at Island Cocktail Bar (14-16 Suffolk Street Queensway, 0121 632 5296). With daily specials, you can go back between 5pm and 7pm every day and never get bored.
Finally, Apres (Broadway Plaza, 0121 456 4141) has five hours of drunken happiness a day, with vast pitchers of delicious boozy drinks on special offer.
Top five cocktails:
Night Cappuccino at Loft Lounge
Chocolate, coffee, cream, cracking
Bisonoska at Red Bar and Lounge
Try saying that after a few pints.
Strawberry Fields at Mechu
You're not John Lennon, so don't break into song at the bar.
Honey Berry Sour at Island Bar
High scorer at the best cocktail bar in town
Cherry Cola at Revolution
Sweet, sweet vodka
And if all that boozing leaves you in need of a trip to the ladies/gents, why not check out our top five notable toilets? There's nothing like an interesting crapper to liven up a boring boozer...
The Square Peg
Don't even think about stepping foot in this cesspit. Holding it in will be the best thing you ever did.
The Adam and Eve
Going to the loo has never been so much fun.
The Old Crown
Old pub, new toilets, no more outhouse.
Bar Risa
Slutty girls discussing who they've pulled. Score.
Tainted Halo
The trance is only slightly deafening once the cubicle door's closed.
