Tucked beneath Birmingham’s iconic Grand Hotel, Downstairs at The Grand is a sultry, late-night restaurant and cocktail bar that brings timeless glamour, elevated dining, and live music to the heart of the city. With a private entrance on Church Street, this intimate venue blends the elegance of a bygone era with a modern twist.
The space is opulent and richly styled, featuring velvet seating, arched windows, dark wood panelling, chandeliers and moody lighting - perfect for anything from date nights to celebratory group dinners. The restaurant’s late-night menu is as stylish as the interiors, with a selection of artisan cheese and charcuterie boards, small plates, and sourdough pizzas for relaxed, refined dining. Cocktails are the star of the drinks menu, ranging from classic Old Fashioneds to signature creations like the Paris Rouge and Negroni, complemented by a curated list of wines, fizz and premium spirits.
Dinner and drinks are served Thursday to Saturday from 10pm to 2am, making this one of Birmingham’s most unique late-night dining destinations. It’s a space designed to linger in, where every element, from the food to the lighting, feels considered and indulgent.
Adding to the atmosphere is a curated live music programme, inspired by the spirit of Ronnie Scott’s. Expect a rotation of talented resident musicians performing jazz, blues, cabaret and musical theatre classics, providing a rich backdrop to the dining experience rather than stealing the spotlight.
Whether you’re after cocktails with friends, a sophisticated post-dinner bite, or a late-night spot to impress, Downstairs at The Grand delivers bold flavours, moody ambience and a touch of speakeasy magic in central Birmingham.
