The Birdcage

The Birdcage is a lively pub and bar on High Street in Harborne, Birmingham, with a social atmosphere designed for casual food, drinks and entertainment. The venue brings together a relaxed daytime setting and a busier evening feel, making it suitable for students, local residents and visitors looking for an informal place to meet.

Classic options provide a recognisable choice, while the sharing format works well for groups settling in for a longer visit. Drinks include beers, cocktails, spirits and soft drinks.

Entertainment is a central part of the venue’s character.

Its combination of accessible pub food, a broad drinks list and scheduled entertainment gives it a flexible role within Harborne’s social scene.
