Hare & Hounds
Most gigs, if not all, of the Saturday Blues Club from 4pm are free but please check with the venue about tickets and pricing before.
Situated in the South Birmingham suburb of Kings Heath, the Hare & Hounds has been around since 1820, but has stood in its present form since 1907. This is a major contributing factor to its current Grade II listed status, along with the beautiful and unique Art Nouveau tiles that line the entry hall and staircase.
Although playing host to local Birmingham legends UB40s first ever gig in 1979, it is only since 2007 that its really established itself as one of the most important and influential music venues in the country, playing a vital part in nurturing the citys vibrant music and creative community.
The pub boasts two downstairs bars which host a weekly pub quiz on Wednesdays, the hugely popular Blues Club on Saturday afternoons, comedy workshops and more. The two famous upstairs venues feature live music & club nights spanning jazz, indie, funk, reggae, hip hop, soul, house, techno, drum & bass and beyond.
