The Flapper - Birmingham

Lovely canalside pub. An alternative and varied crowd. Great music and they have gigs at weekends. Lovely atmosphere with good outdoor seating downstairs and up on the balcony. Food is provided by 6 subs so a small menu of really tasty, innovative and well cooked food. On Sundays they do sunday dinner in a sub, the strangest thing I 've ever eaten but tasty, filling and very well made. Staff are really friendly and welcoming. There 's a good selection of ales and ciders. Dog friendly. Just love it.

We ate and drank here after travelling to the Arena for a gig. The Flapper is a good place to relax, eat and drink for a couple of hours before a concert. Good range of drinks. Food is based on subs but very good ones. Subs are substantial and sides are available. Situated by Cambrian Canal Basin where there is lots of historical interest. Nice place and we will always use before a gig. Recommended.

A hidden Gem. Great selection of beers, loads of great outside space by the canal, love music downstairs. Jukebox had 00's hits I hadn't seen for years. Subs were out of this world fried chicken and gravy is to die for. Chip portions and toppings are generous.

Friendly and welcoming, the staff are excellent and will always do their best to serve you quickly and well. The beer garden overlooking the canal is wonderful and the added balcony with benches in the alcoves provides some shade in the summer and a semi enclosed area in the winter. The drink choice is good, and 20% off Wednesday's is something you won't want to miss. There is a band room downstairs which caters to up and coming musicians with occasional open mic nights being put on. There is also an exceptional weekly quiz held at 8pm on Thursday nights, no rubbish speed phone quizzing here, paper and pens only! Overall this is a great place to come for a quick drink or seven and it's also dog friendly.

Awesome as ever, love this old girl, one of my favourite gig haunts in Birmingham
