went to Digbeth on a cold Saturday afternoon, looking for a place to grab a bite and catch up with some friends. The Mockingbird was the place of my choice this time.
The theatre and bar is an excellent adding to Digbeth. It is also a perfect spot to watch a cult or classic film, enjoy a comedy night or a musical. Definitely a creative venue that fits perfectly at the Custard Factory.
It is a shame to say that I have never been to Mockingbird since its opening in 2014. It was always there, on my way, but I never had the chance to stop by. The mistake is corrected now and I am glad it is still popular.
The selection of drinks is what to expect of a bar in Digbeth: varied and creative. A nice selection of craft beers is a bonus.
Presentation was gorgeous and the spicy chips and beetroot salad were a nice accompaniment. Everything was delicious. I would take the risk to say their burger is one the list of nicest ones in town. And you know, Birmingham is becoming a reference in places with some quality patty burgers and Mockingbird does it right.
I love its décor and I wouldn’t change a bit of it. The concept is make it simple and enjoyable. Staff are friendly and it is impossible to not feel welcomed.
I will definitely come back to the Mockingbird soon. But this time not to just to grab something to eat, but also to enjoy a cult film or a show that they bring weekly to Digbeth.
