Jess says: “I think it's really nice, I think it's full of good nightlife, I actually look after the bars, restaurants and nightclubs around here. I think the canal's a really important aspect.

“I think what's not so good is the fact that there's like green moss on the canal by the mailbox and I think that reduces like how the pretty aesthetic that Brindleyplace in the box holds.

“I think having so many bars and nightlife brings so many people to Birmingham, particularly as well like the ICC and the Symphony Orchestra Hall, bringing lots of different people from around the greater region of the Midlands to Birmingham.

“I think it's really, really important that we continue to support bars and restaurants and nightlife around Brindleyplace to make sure that it is busy and it is bustly because it is one of the nicest places in Birmingham and on a day like today, it's absolutely beautiful, especially around the canal.”

This peaceful haven in the centre of Birmingham is a great spot for hospitality, and is home to a wide range of restaurants and bars. The stunning scenery along the canal makes Brindleyplace one of many iconic gems here in the city of Birmingham.
