R&B Brunch Birmingham

R&B Brunch is coming to The Bierkeller on Saturday 28 November, from 12:00 to 17:00. It's a five-hour session that pitches itself as a club experience rather than a traditional brunch: the dance floor doesn't stop, and the resident DJs play R&B from the last few decades alongside old-school hip-hop, UKG, club anthems and 90s/00s sing-alongs, with a host keeping the crowd going throughout. Food is served all day, and you get a complimentary bottomless rum punch during the first hour only, with all other drinks sold separately.

It's an original concept from the Taste and Liquor Group, which launched in March 2019 and bills itself as the UK's biggest R&B Brunch. The format is built around the music and the atmosphere rather than a sit-down meal, so it's more of a party that happens to start at lunchtime than a brunch in the usual sense. Past attendees have called it the 'best brunch ever' and 'the real deal'.

The venue is The Bierkeller, a two-floor sports, party and events space in Birmingham's Southside, a Bavarian-themed bar that pours draught German beers. It's at 21-22 Essex Street, B5 4TR. Tickets start at £18.00 for Early Bird, with Standard tickets at £20.00 and party packages from £97.99. It runs from 12:00 to 17:00 on Saturday 28 November.
