No country does beer quite like the Germans, and in Birmingham, there is a lot of love for people from the country. Every year Birmingham plays host to one of the biggest German Markets in Europe, with visitors being brought to the city from all over the continent. The success of this market, which typically opens around November time and is open until the end of the year, has meant that a number of others bars have begun to open their doors with a German theme.
These bars are some of the best in the city, with customers able to experience that same feeling that they have from the German Market all year round. But, which bars are the best German-themed bars in the city? These are the three that all visitors will need to pay a visit to.
The Bierkeller
There aren’t many more authentic German atmospheres that can be found in Brum than the one that visitors can expect to get in Bierkeller. The bar excels on all fronts, and there is no reason why customers will not want to keep coming back every weekend. The ice cold beers are the main drawing point, with these served in the typical two-pint stein glasses that have become renowned at the German Market.
There is more than just the famous stein glasses to enjoy at this bar, with Bierkeller also boasting about their drinks from all over the globe. It is also the best place for large groups, with hen and stag dos able to book to spend their evening at the bar. It is the best place to get an authentic Bavarian experience in Brum.
