Deadbeat

Head down Pershore Road towards Stirchley and you'll find Deadbeat doing the unglamorous work of actually being good at what it does. This isn't a bar trying to convince you it's a bar—there's no gimmicks, no ironic taxidermy, just proper cocktails made by people who care. The sort of place where your drink arrives considered rather than Instagrammed, and the staff won't judge you for ordering a Negroni for the fifth time this month. It's become exactly the kind of local favourite that makes you wonder why more bars can't get this right.
