New bar and restaurant set to “shake up” nightlife in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter

A brand new bar, restaurant and late-night venue will open in the Jewellery Quarter later this week, just in time for Christmas.

Set to “shake up” the Birmingham nightlife scene, Tabu Bar & Restaurant brings together Pan Asian cuisine and live entertainment all wrapped up in a luxury, underground retreat.

Inspired by the speakeasy scene of 1920s New York, Tabu Bar & Restaurant claims to be a “high energy hidden gem”. The subterranean venue boasts a “spacious” bar and dining area, along with private booths for groups, and will be home to live music every Thursday to Sunday night.

A venue “steeped in history”, in one of the city’s most culturally rich locations, the interior brings together exposed brick, mood lighting, and “luxury” furnishings. Tabu also offers an “immersive dining experience” and live music in the 200-cover restaurant, where chefs will serve up Pan Asian cuisine including sushi and gyoza until 11pm.

Whilst performers entertain diners, the venue’s resident DJs will play a “soulful urban fusion” in the Jewellery Quarter bar and lounge accompanied by live percussion and saxophonists.

The 400-capacity venue will be open every Thursday to Sunday night from 5pm. A New Year’s Eve party is planned to kickstart 2023 in style, and in the early new year Tabu will be offering bottomless brunches and daytime lunches from 12pm on Saturdays and Sundays.

Joining the “thriving” Birmingham nightlife scene, Tabu arrives just in time for the end of year festivities, opening on Friday December 16.
