Peg & Grill

Walk into Peg & Grill and you're in a space that feels like it knows what it's doing—dark wood, proper lighting, the kind of place where the bartender remembers your order. You're on Bishopsgate Street, right in that stretch where Birmingham's actually got some bones to it, and this spot slots in perfectly. The kitchen takes their grilling seriously, which means you're getting meat cooked how it should be, not some Instagram-friendly nonsense. The cocktails are considered without being pretentious, and the wine list has proper depth if you know where to look.
