Birmingham is to get its first dedicated whisky bar on the same premises as the Museum of the Jewellery Quarter and set to open on Valentine’s day with a wee aperitif of a pop-up opening for Burns night and offering free tasters for all. The venue will boast 300 plus whiskies and host a regular calendar of tastings and events from the brains behind Birmingham Whisky Club Amy Seaton. Ahead of the official opening a Burns Bar pop-up on January 27th and 28th (26th for members) will whet the appetite with a warm welcome for everyone including a free dram and matching ‘treat’ for whisky lovers on arrival and a good selection of beers, wines and spirits for non-whisky drinkers. The bar will then open once the full refurb is complete on February 14th.

The Birmingham Whisky Club bar will open to the public on February 14th opening times are Wednesday to Sunday 12pm – 12pm. The Musuem of the Jewellery Quarter 75 – 80 Vyse Street, B18 6HA. www.thebirminghamwhiskyclub.co.uk
