Deli 17

You'll find yourself on a quiet stretch of Selly Oak where Deli 17 punches well above its weight. It's the kind of place where locals actually gather—order a glass of something interesting from their thoughtful wine list, then settle in with some seriously good cured meats and cheese. The vibe is relaxed but genuinely knowledgeable; staff know their stuff without making you feel small for not knowing yours. Perfect for an evening out that doesn't require booking three months ahead or pretending to understand wine-speak.
