MEAL TICKET

There are loads of different restaurants near Arena Birmingham - many of which are at Brindley Place, which is less than a five-minute walk from the venue.

Treat yourself to a steak at CAU, an Argentinian steakhouse. Their menu includes an array of different cuts of beef, many of which can be ordered in a variety of sizes.

Cuts on offer include rib-eye, sirloin, lomito and fillet.

If you’re not in the mood for beef, however, they also offer a range of fish, chicken and vegetarian dishes.

Other eateries to choose from at the city centre location include Bank Restaurant and Bar, Cafe Rouge, Italian restaurant Cielo, US-inspired Coast To Coast, French and Mediterranean-inspired Edmunds, Gourmet Burger Kitchen and Mission Burrito - plus many more.

BAR STAR

There’s something for everyone when it comes to bars near Arena Birmingham, with Broad Street and Brindleyplace just a few moments’ walk from the venue.

If you fancy a few tipples while overlooking the canal, The Malt House is a stunning pub just a stone’s throw from the venue. This pub also serves main meals, burritos, baked potatoes, sandwiches and sharing platters - should you get peckish.

More bars around the area include All Bar One, Bank Bar, Nuvo, The Slug and Lettuce and the Pitcher and Piano.

Just Can't Get Enough? Broad Street will be bustling with life till the early hours. Clubs along this street include PRYZM, SugarSuite, Reflex, Walkabout and Rosies.

GOOD NIGHT

CHEAP SLEEP

Little more than a 10-minute walk from Arena Birmingham is the Hampton by Hilton hotel on Broad Street.

Overlook the city’s sights In Your Room, which would include free wifi, an LCD TV and a lap desk.
