Head Chef

The Distillery, home to Birmingham's ever popular gin distillery, is a stone's throw away from Brindley Place & The Arena, as well as being perfectly situated on the canal. Split over two floors, The Distillery can entertain day to night with a gin bar & private event space on the first floor, leading down to the pub & open kitchen dining area on the lower floor. Our expansive terrace is also the ideal space for warm summer days. Quality ingredients in their purest form inspire the menu. From their rotisserie & robata grill to their wood-fired pizza, each dish has been carefully chosen to provide an array of succulent dishes for all occasions.
