The Most Instagrammable Hot Spots In Birmingham

Perhaps you are considering moving to a university in Birmingham or are already living there. No matter who you are, the chances are that you will be looking for the best places to take Instagram-worthy pictures, showing your best life in your new city. There is so much to explore in Brum so there are of course hundreds of great Instragammable photo opportunities to be had!

#1 – Tonight Josephine

Tonight Josephine is my idea of paradise! If you love a bit (or quite a lot) of pink, this is the place for you. With neon signs and pink glitter walls, this underground cocktail bar is THE place to go for a night out that is guaranteed to be both entertaining and look good on the gram. Not only does the bar look stunning, but the toilets are also snap-worthy themselves with each cubicle door sporting the face of a famous, female icon (think Lindsey Lohan!)

The Pineapple Club is an independent and fabulous cocktail bar that gives you major holiday vibes. You can enjoy sipping your drink in front of the palm tree wallpaper and even pose for the camera next to some seriously cool neon angel wings. This bar is a hidden gem that makes for some amazing pics and an enjoyable evening in Brum.

The Great Western Arcade seems to be the place to head to for all those aesthetics right now. Being home to The Pineapple Club AND The Vegan Kitchen is certainly something to brag about. The Vegan Kitchen not only serves the most delicious vegan street food but also delivers when it comes to decor. Take a trip to The Vegan Kitchen and you can take selfies with a graffiti wall and smile away next to a super cute flower garland staircase. Thank me later!

I’m not one for surfing but I sure can get behind the major Hawaiian vibes that Birdies Bar gives off. If you want to take a break from the city life, then Birdies in Digbeth is the place to go to let off some steam and pretend you are on holiday abroad. Enjoy a much needed break, sip your drink like there’s no tomorrow and discover the creative hub of Birmingham at its best.

#5 – Elio Café

The Elio Café may be the new kid on the block but it has already won over lots of hearts. If your feed prides itself on being minimalistic yet artsy then Elio will fit right in. I especially love the contrast of the unique art prints against the plain walls, although my knowledge of art is rather sparse.

Gamers, you are going to want to check out NQ64 in Digbeth. This is where the big kids come out to play, combining cocktails and some nostalgic, retro arcade games. The atmosphere here is unlike any other, transporting you into another galaxy that will look out of this world when it comes to taking pictures.

Luna Springs is an outdoor bar in Digbeth that has the wow factor. I’ve lost count of the amount of times I’ve seen people post this place on their feeds and there’s good reason as to why they do! You only have to look at the pictures and the bright, colourful decor to understand why people love snapping away at Luna Springs so often. You’re missing out if you haven’t been yet!

#8 – Tattu

Tattu is fancy! There is no denying that Tattu is a little bit more of an upmarket restaurant but, for a special occasion, it makes for a stunning visit. The purple flower ceiling is so romantic that it looks like something out of a movie. It’s hard to believe that this beauty hotspot is in Brum!

Did someone say swinging chairs and low lighting? The most romantic date night aesthetic to fill your feed can be found at Mowgli in Grand Central. Priding itself on delivering sensational Indian street food, this restaurant is one that makes you feel super special. Give your followers something to WOW at, with a pic or two (or three) of Mowgli’s stunning interior.

Sky By The Water can be found in Resorts World Birmingham, providing some beautiful neon signs for your socials. The Secret Garden is my favourite place, with a bright pink butterfly sign and unique pods making for an unforgettable experience that you can relive time and time again through your snaps of the night.
