I have long been a fan of the Sunflower and have been visiting since I can remember! It’s main attraction for me is the varying genres of music you will find. It really is different than the usual tripe you can expect to hear when in a standard bar! There is a great selection of no frills drinks and everyone is very friendly. I’ve often popped in for one on the way home and ended up staying until close. The downstairs hosts a wide selection of bands, many on a week night for a really decent price. Stumbling across a new band you like which you haven’t seen before can really improve your mid-week evening. It looks miles better since the make-over and I am gagging to try their new food offerings. I have heard great things and the menu is very appetising! It gets busy on the weekends and you can often guarantee a party atmosphere!

Over the years I’ve been going in for a quick drink. the bar staff are really helpful an even suggested where to go next for a good night out sometimes. The place won’t blow your socks off but for good beer at a good rate I don’t think it can be beat. ITs had a recent refurbishment but the toilets are still the same. Dirty and old needs a face lift to match the rest of the place. But having said that its safe to say we will be back. Great place for local bands and chilled out indie evenings. The music being played was a mixture of 70’s 80’s 90’s 00’s with indie, pop and rock classics. Gets rammed at the weekends and evenings when they have live acts.

The Sunflower lounge has been a go-to place for me from the day I started going out. It has many facelifts over the years but it has always kept its stance on playing the best retro and old-school music in Birmingham. Pretty much any night of the week you can find the resident Dj’s playing a huge mix of funk, soul, disco and motown in the upstairs bar, while in the downstairs space local bands play alongside more well known touring acts. The drinks here are not going to win any awards for being fancy or ornate, but that really isn’t the point of the place. This is the type of place where you can visit, feel welcome and enjoy some quality music with like minded people. No you can’t have a cocktail made in a beautiful glass garnished with wild berries but if you are looking for that this really isn’t the place for you. If you want to visit at the best times try Friday or Saturday nights as with a lot of places also check the website for gigs and special events.
Had some great meals here from the various pop up take overs. The guys from Big Papas went on to open the Mockingbird Bistro where I had to follow
