The Botanist Temple Street, Birmingham

A stunning Botanical-themed restaurant and cocktail bar, located on Temple Street and a stone’s throw away from Grand Central and New Street Station.

They are renowned for their delicious hanging kebabs and ‘posh pub’ classics and, of course, their expertly made cocktails infused with fresh fruits and herbs. Their Sunday roasts are also some of the best you’ll find in Brum.

Upon entering the venue, you’ll find a spectacular central skylight window which lets in plenty of natural light, brilliant for those sunny lunchtime dates; and a lovely courtyard with overhead cover and heaters for those chilly days.

Take a few steps downstairs and you’ll come across the Plant Room, a space that can accommodate up to 60 guests, with its own private bar, guest toilets and unique interior. And for anyone who would like to try their hand at making their own cocktail, The Botanist hosts cocktail masterclasses with its expert mixologists – perfect for groups of friends and team-building events.

Their new Festive Food & Drinks menu will launch from the 20th November, just in time for the Christmas period. This is quite possibly the cosiest and most homely venue you can visit around this time of year.
