Kings Heath’s Hare & Hounds is one of the most popular pubs in the city thanks to its variety – and you can see why. The Grade II listed Victorian hangout houses an eclectic calendar across two live music rooms, and serves a range of cask ales, bottled beer and wines in its two bars downstairs. Look out for their kitchen takeovers with local chefs.
