It’s Coming Home in Birmingham – The Best Bar & Pub Gardens Showing England v Denmark Semi Final

There are some fantastic open-air venues where you can watch the semi-final of England v Denmark in the big screen in Brum.

Sadly, no Three Lions fan can jet off to watch the game in person because of UK Covid travel restrictions – but watching the kick-off with your mates, down the local with your favourite pint in the sunshine is the next best thing.

If you were chanting and screaming at the telly watching England v Ukraine, but wished you were soaking up the match (and a few beers) with fellow fans, look no further. Here are the best outdoor venues in Brum to enjoy the footie, taking bookings now. Some places even have walk-ins!

Mama Roux’s

Head on over to Digbeth’s Neighbourhood bar to enjoy the game. They now have two LED screens for the semi-final; double the drinks, double the screens, double the fun. Sink your teeth into some Only Jerkin’ while you sip your pint too. Doors open at 4pm and they’re only accepting walk ins. No need to book!

The Old Crown

Birmingham’s oldest and friendliest pub are showing the game on the big screen in their spacious beer garden, complete with hearty street food and the best local ales in Digbeth. Bottom’s up!

Park Regis Birmingham

Watch the footie in style with Park Regis Birmingham Summer of Sport. Watch on their 75-inch screen outside on their beautiful 1565 terrace, or get cosy inside at their regal bar. Whatever the weather, you won’t be missing out on any goals at Park Regis. Celebrate with one of their signature cocktails or a pint in hand!

The Distillery

The Distillery has been showing the games at its amazing beer garden – one of the best and biggest in the city.

The courtyard has room for 350 people, so you’ve got a good chance of bagging the best seats, if you’re lucky.

The British Oak

One of the unsung heroes of Birmingham's beer garden collection, the British Oak in Stirchley has it all. You can enjoy watching the match in the huge outdoor area, while enjoying some great beers and cocktails, and also tuck into some award-winning grub!

Line your stomach in style with burgers from acclaimed Original Patty Men, who have taken over the British Oak kitchen.

Canal House

This iconic canalside pub was a popular place for the Germany game.  It is a lovely spot any day of the week, never mind a special match day. Watch while you munch on their famous Hanging Kebabs, along with some fantastic beers and cocktails to help you celebrate too. Tickets are priced at £10pp and include a pint of Madri Exceptional.

Tap & Tandoor Solihull

Why not cheer England on in the award-winning Indian gastro pub that is Tap & Tandoor in Solihull. Beer in one hand, forkful of homestyle curry in the other, tell us this isn’t the perfect combo for a match day.

Hyatt Regency Birmingham

Tasty food, delicious cocktails and stunning views. Watch England play in style at Hyatt Regency Birmingham’s Canal Beer Garden. They offer a variety of food and sharing platters to enjoy in front of the big screen, including smoked salmon salad, veggie samosas, spring rolls and so much more.

Village Hotel Club

Grab your seat and get ready for the semi-final at Village Hotel Club. For just £17.50 you can guarantee a place to watch the game live on their huge screens, with a burger and bar snacks on top.

O’Neills Broad Street

Another Irish gem in Birmingham to enjoy the football. O’Neills on Broad Street has great beer, great food and great craic, perfect for match day. While booking is preferred, they keep a number of tables available for walk-ins, but be quick so you don’t miss out.
