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...
