Desco Lounge

You'd walk past Parkgate Shopping Centre a hundred times without expecting much, but Desco Lounge deserves better than that assumption. It's the kind of place where the cocktails actually taste like someone's thought about them, the wine list makes sense, and the kitchen takes itself seriously without being precious about it. The space itself is comfortable rather than flashy—good lighting, proper seating, the sort of spot where you can actually hear your mates—and it's pulled together a loyal local following for good reason. Whether you're after a proper dinner or just drinks with the sort of small plates that justify the trip, this is Solihull dining that doesn't rely on novelty or gimmicks.
