World Cup Watching: Beer buckets, spice bags, and cocktails at The Alchemist

If you’re pulling together any “best places to watch the World Cup” roundups in Birmingham, I thought The Alchemist could be a fun fit. With Tuchel’s boys on the big screen at The Alchemist Colmore Row, fans are invited to replace the local’s lukewarm lager, nail biting, and sticky carpets with cocktail theatrics and late-night energy.

Every evening fixture, including all England matches, will be shown live throughout the tournament. It’s the perfect venue for those wanting to escape sardine-standing and the classic doom and gloom for football with a bit more atmosphere.

Match-day specials include ice-cold beer buckets from £55, alongside loaded double smash burgers and new spice bags with chicken tenders and salt and pepper chips designed for halftime sharing.
