Madeleine

You'll find Madeleine nestled within the Grand Hotel's elegant frame on Colmore Row—that stretch of Colmore where Birmingham's older money still feels present. It's the sort of place where the bartenders actually know what they're doing, mixing proper cocktails rather than chucking everything in a blender. The art deco styling feels authentic rather than forced, all dark wood and moody lighting, which makes it perfect for either a serious drink before dinner or the kind of evening where you lose track of time talking across a marble bar top.
