Arch 13 at Connollys

You'll find Arch 13 nestled beneath one of those magnificent Victorian railway arches on Livery Street—the kind of spot that makes you feel like you've stumbled onto something the rest of Birmingham's still sleeping on. It's got that effortless European wine bar energy without trying too hard: exposed brick, candlelit tables, and a soundtrack that won't drown out conversation. The wine list leans natural and low-intervention, so expect bottles you won't find everywhere, paired with proper charcuterie boards and small plates that actually complement what you're drinking. It's become the kind of place where regulars camp out for hours.
