About Us

Buzzing with flavour, pouring good times.

We’re The Bug and Barrel — a craft pub in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter, where the Bug nods to the buzz of good company, and the Barrel? Well, that’s where the magic pours from. Together, it’s good food, great pints, and proper Brummie spirit.

From stacked burgers to small plates that slap, we serve food that fuels the night and beer that kicks things off. Come in loud, leave full, or tap in from your sofa — either way, something tasty’s brewing.

What We’re Here For

More than what’s poured and plated

Barrel-Backed Goodness

Fresh pours. Crowd favourites. Local legends. No showing off. Just drinks that hit right, every time.

Plates With a Point of View

Our food isn’t background noise. It’s centre-stage stuff. Made to be talked about, shared, devoured, and remembered. Bold flavours. No beige.

Brum’s Got the Buzz

We’re built for Birmingham. From the accents at the bar to the brews behind it, this place hums with local spirit. We’re here for the people who make this city feel like home.

Your Third Space

More than a meal. More than a pint. It’s where stories start, cravings end, and the vibe does the heavy lifting. Bar energy with living room comfort.

Buzz from the Regulars

They came. They ate. They spilled.

Jewellery Quarter. Buzzing Daily.

Walk in loud. Leave full. Or stay in and let us come to you.
