The Actress and Bishop
While certain prudish nay-sayers may frown upon the dirty allure of this top secret Birmingham institution and the locality holds the very real possibility of a stabbing, the merry serfs at the Actress & Bishop continue to charm the pants off everyone who shambles into the best pre-club pub this side of the Sunflower Lounge. Hosting live bands almost every night of the week, cheap pints, a decent beer garden and eclectic DJs every weekend, this is a haven for people for whom the phrase 'Indie' still means more than a £50 haircut and a weekly visit to Topshop. Also keep eager eyes peeled for whoever is playing the Academy that night having a sly post-gig pint, we once beat the singer of Foals at darts three times in a row. So there.
