About This Pub

Ah, The Indie Lounge in Birmingham is one of those cosy spots that really grows on you once you're inside. I've got to say, the staff are just lovely – they're always up for a chat and serve up some cracking drinks that make the night feel special. The atmosphere is spot on too, with live jazz and a warm, energetic feel that's perfect for kicking back after a busy week, whether you're a student or just out for a laugh. It's got that community spirit, hosting events that bring people together without breaking the bank. On the flip side, though, some of the drinks can be a tad expensive if you're on a tight budget, and the outside might look a bit worn, so don't judge it by that alone. All in all, it's a solid choice for a good time, but it's worth checking when it's open to make the most of it – just like sharing tips over a pint with friends!

The drinks were kinda pricey for a student bar... not the best. Good jazz music but that's the student society and not the actual bar.

Love the atmosphere, the staff, the live music and the cocktails. Great bar for students and residents alike to chill and relax after a long day of work or study. People are super friendly there and it's a cozy place to be.

Don't let the shabb/vintage look fool you, the place has a lovely atmosphere and the owner is a great guy. Often hosts student socials (for free!) from UoB and has decent prices - any self respecting Selly Oaker should give this place a visit
