It’s gin o’clock all day, Saturday because it’s World Gin Day!
On June 10, there will be a global celebration of all things gintastic and if you are a gindependent person - you might be looking for the best places in Birmingham to get your G&T. After all, there’s nothing like a fresh and citrusy botanical cocktail for an after-work, brunch or weekend hang.
Gin might not be for everyone but when you are past a certain age, it just hits different. We can go on and on about how great gin is but the best thing about this drink is that it tastes great, leaves you feeling warm and happy and usually, doesn’t get you drunk.
Obviously, you don’t have to be a millennial or older to appreciate the drink - it’s a drink for all ages (if you are of legal drinking age). And, Birmingham has some amazing places - including the World’s Best Gin Bar - to offer its residents and visitors.
So, here are eight best gin bars in Birmingham that are a must-visit:
