Txikiteo

You'll find Txikiteo tucked away on Frederick Street in the Jewellery Quarter, and honestly, it's one of those places that makes you wonder how Birmingham keeps pulling off spots this good. Walk in and you're met with bottles lining the walls, proper Spanish energy, and the kind of bar staff who actually know their albariño from their tempranillo. The whole vibe is unpretentious but proper—you're here for excellent wine by the glass, txakoli that actually tastes crisp, and small plates that don't feel like an afterthought. It's the sort of place where locals pop in after work, regulars get greeted by name, and you end up staying longer than planned because the next glass just called your name.
