If you have been lucky enough to pop down to the best craft beer pub in Digbeth this weekend you may have noticed something different at the bar!

If you are a beer fan your eyes would have been drawn to our shiny new yellow badge on our draught taps. I am of course talking about Brooklyn Lagers new additon to their line up, Brooklyn Pilsner Crisp Lager!

Brooklyn Pilsner is a refreshing golden lager beer, brewed in the style favored by New York’s pre-prohibition brewers. In the 1840’s, the pilsner style emerged from central Europe to become the world’s most popular style of beer. Like its ances...

Since The Floodgate opened in Birmingham, it’s quickly become renowned for good food, good drinks and lots of fun. Describing itself as a competitive socialising, “drink and do” venue, the business combines games such as bleachers baseball, pit-pat table golf and curl club curling with an extensive list of drinks and food. All the ingredients for a great night out!

We first put a spotlight on the team behind Floodgate back in 2019 when they were newly opened. They’ve been thrown more than a few curveballs since then. We caught up with Co-Founder Chris again, over two years into their venture t...

Best for nightlife and street art

Unless you have been living under a rock for the last month you will know we have just had the Queens Platinum Jubilee. This marks her Royle reign of 70 years (thats a long time by anyones standards)

Over the weekend this has now been called for better or worse; Platty Joobs (aka #PlattyJoobs). We love an acronym in the UK, anything to save time speaking and squash those damn words together. 

We had a awesome time at The Floodgate celebrating her majesty, welcoming our batters, ballers and PitPat'rs with our limited edition #PlattyJoobs cocktails. The big hits of the weekend was the Fizzy Lizz...

Well Well Well Birmingham, I am sure we can all agree there has been something missing in our lives for the last 7 years.

It is of course the one and only water feature at Floozie in the Jacuzzi based in the famous Victoria Square. The statue has been the centre piece of the square for almost 28 years. in 2015 the tub was turned into a giant flowerbed as attempts to repair Floozie went on. Birmingham have been undertaking many projects to smarten up the city for the up and coming Commonwealth games this summer.

As the big red button was pushed by the mayor, the crowd went wild, or at least the...

Look what had just landed in Digbeth, NEW! Au Vodka Pineapple Crush. The taste of summer has arrived.

Our friends over at AU do not need any introduction, they have been producing some of the purist, ultra clean tasting vodka on the market over the past few years and have just dropped their brand new flavour. One sip of this banging yellow spirit will transport you straight to a caribbean beach wearing a hawaiian shirt (all while blocking out the Birmingham rain, its mind over matter trust us).

So if you are looking for the best troipical experience in Birmingham look no further than The Flood...
