The Cocktail Club - Cocktail Bar in Birmingham

You'll find yourself on Temple Street in the heart of Birmingham's business district, pushing through the doors of a place that takes cocktails seriously without the pretension. The Cocktail Club has nailed that tricky balance—the kind of bar where you can ask for something classic and get it made properly, or trust the team to surprise you. It's got that upscale-but-approachable energy that makes you feel looked after without being fussed over. The drinks aren't cheap (expect to pay around £10-14 a pop), but they're the real deal, mixing precision with actual flavour rather than just theatrics.
