Clancy's Bar & Kitchen Harborne

You'll find Clancy's tucked into Harborne High Street, in that sweet spot where the village vibe of this corner of Birmingham actually works in your favour. It's the kind of place that doesn't need to shout about itself—locals already know where to find it. The bar side is the draw: knowledgeable staff who talk you through drinks rather than reciting a menu at you, and the sort of cocktails that taste like someone actually gave a toss about proportions. Food comes into play too, but it never feels like the main event, which is exactly how a good neighbourhood bar should operate.
