Tabu Bar & Restaurant

Head down to Newhall Place and you'll find Tabu tucked into Birmingham's increasingly vibrant Jewellery Quarter fringe—that sweet spot where the old industrial buildings are getting properly converted into places worth actually going to. It's the kind of spot where you can roll in for a proper meal or just post up at the bar for cocktails that actually taste like someone's thought about them. The crowd skews young and office-adjacent, especially after work, but it doesn't feel pretentious about it. Whether you're after dinner or just somewhere to get a decent drink that isn't another chain, Tabu does both without any faffing about.
