Take in the special surroundings of Birmingham's canals
England's second city has more canals than Venice (yes, really!), so there's no shortage of canal side spots where you can perch and enjoy great pub food and drink. Pop into Greene King pubs’ Malt House and take in a destination that is picturesque by day and bustling with nightlife when the sun goes down.
This pub's history is tied to the malting business where grains were processed for use in alcoholic drinks. These days the pub is a cornerstone of the local community, except now it serves drinks rather than helps brew them. Just a short hop over the canal from the Utilita Arena, this is the perfect waterside spot for enjoying some food and drink before a concert or show, or for refuelling after a trip to the adjacent aquarium.
Tuck into delicious pub grub with the family
If you're looking for somewhere to treat the family with a traditional pub feel, why not bring the whole gang over to the Old House At Home, which serves up a wide range of crowd-pleasing pub favourites in a warm and relaxed setting.
As well as a menu packed with flavourful favourites and our signature succulent carvery, this Greene King pub also has a Wacky Warehouse, so the kids can let off some steam and work up an appetite. Keep an eye out for our amazing deals, perfect for saving you some cash when you drink and dine with us.
Refresh yourself in our characterful country pub
Half Penny Farm in Oldbury is a family-friendly pub and is only an 18-minute drive to the lovely Botanical Gardens or a 17-minute ride to Dudley Zoo. One of our Farmhouse Inns, it's the perfect place to retreat and refresh yourselves after a busy day in Birmingham's bustling metropolis. Whether you dig into a generously plated carvery or indulge in one of our famous pies, be sure to round off your meal with one of our showstopping cakes for dessert.
There's also an indoor play area for the kids, free Wi-Fi, disabled facilities, an on-site car park, and EV charging.
