A new sports bar is coming to Brindleyplace - and it’s a gamechanger

Brindleyplace is set to welcome a huge new sports bar - just in time for the FA Cup showdown between Manchester United and Manchester City.

BOX promises to be a game changer on the Birmingham social scene when it opens on June 3 in the old Pizza Express location.

It’s a huge venue (10,000sq ft which can hold 575 guests) with a premium offering from the team behind Manahatta on Temple Row - who are proud to present a winning combination of watch, play and party in their latest Birmingham venue.

The ground floor at BOX boasts an impressive open kitchen, an island bar and is surrounded by 32 top-of-the-range TV screens so guests can watch the biggest and best sports live. BOX also has a spectacular upstairs bar and private dining room as well an outdoor area for 30 seats.

So, whether football, boxing, athletics or Formula One is your thing, BOX certainly sets the bar high at being the best place to enjoy all the adrenaline-fuelled action.

Real life sport action

Aside from being the best place to enjoy live sport, BOX will also feature two 18-foot maple wood European Shuffleboard tables so guests can play and have fun and fully immerse themselves in the sports vibe.

Live music and karaoke at BOX in Brindleyplace

It’s not all sports fun as the team is going big with a lively party atmosphere too.

BOX is introducing a live band every Friday and Saturday night playing favourite floor-fillers, along with a resident ‘Bandeoke’ hosted every Thursday night, providing guests the chance to come on stage to perform with an experienced band.

For those who don’t fancy singing on stage, you can also hire their swish private karaoke room for you and your friends.

Food and drink

This first-class venue will boast a show-stopping food and drink offering. The food menu includes a range of brand-new innovative mouth-watering dishes including Tater Tots, Hot Honey and N’duja Pizza, a Pizza Fondue – triple cheese stuffed pizza dough smothered in garlic butter, with a fondue of melted cheese and pizza sauce.

Plus Detroit-style deep dish pizzas and the known classics including burgers, premium kebabs and more, all made with the finest quality ingredients.

The top-class drinks selection is paired with high-quality, classic cocktails and the newly developed menu will also feature a speciality section devoted to tequila-based cocktails.

Not only this, but the venue will also offer BOX steins and sharing cocktails including the Pornstar Steintini and Largeritas, to truly bring the larger-than-life spirit to Birmingham.

BOX guarantees a world class selection of beers for every occasion, from refreshing lagers and hoppy pale ales to fruity IPA’s and moreish stouts.

What BOX General Manager says about the new venue in his own words

General Manager Alison Moody says: “As we gear up for a summer of fun, we’re absolutely thrilled to be opening our biggest venue ever.

“We love Birmingham and we’re confident BOX will quickly become a popular addition to the incredible nightlife and bar scene here, just like Manahatta has. It’s Game, Set and Match for the party people of Brum.”
