If you're looking for flexible, larger capacity venue hire in Birmingham with catering included, All Bar One Brindleyplace is a no-brainer. Overlooking the canals, the venue has the scale and versatility to handle everything from company parties and networking evenings to milestone birthdays and all-company festive gatherings.
For a complete takeover, the entire venue can host up to 300 guests, giving organisers the space to really bring the party to life with decorations, entertainment and more. Drinks can be served on arrival, food can follow in stages, and the evening can move easily from mingling to music and dancing. The bar’s split-level layout naturally creates different zones, which is useful for larger guest lists where some people may want to sit and chat while others prefer to stay closer to the main action and throw some shapes.
Smaller events can make use of the mezzanine, which accommodates up to 60 people. Set above the main floor, it feels a little bit exclusive from the rest of the bar without becoming cut off, so guests still benefit from the atmosphere below. It's a strong option for team celebrations and private suppers where a separate area matters, but a conventional function room would feel too enclosed.
The venue itself has plenty of visual interest. Large windows bring daylight into the space, while green seating, exposed structural details, hanging plants and warm lighting give it a contemporary, sociable vibe. The canalside terrace and prominent frontage also help create a sense of arrival before guests head inside - perfect for Instagram snaps.
Catering can be shaped around the format of the event. Buffets are well suited to standing parties, with options such as salt and pepper calamari, karaage sticky chicken, garlic focaccia, houmous with flatbread, halloumi fries and mushroom arancini. A more substantial spread can add Baja fish tacos, harissa chicken skewers, hot honey chorizo and falafel sliders, followed by chocolate brownie or lemon and blueberry cheesecake.
Finally, drinks packages can be arranged in advance to keep service simple, with wine, prosecco, beer, cocktails and alcohol-free choices available. We also like the sound of the cocktail masterclasses which bring an interactive element to the event.
