-
Great restaurants, funky bars, live music, top shows. Birmingham has it all and then some.
-
Skint. Penniless. Flat out broke. All that's needed is a little creative thinking.
-
Impress the folks by taking them somewhere fancy. Show them how cultured you really are.
-
Eat, drink and be merry without breaking the bank. Sounds like a plan to us.
