Temper and Brown run by Roifield Brown and the Brown family is the new incarnation of the George and Dragon, which promises to still be a neighbourhood bar and an exciting venue for Birmingham.
Historically, the building was once known as the George and Dragon pub, dating back to 1850, making it one of Birmingham’s oldest and most historic structures. After a significant refurbishment, it reopened in 2016 as The Pig and Tail by Mark Rafferty maintaining its Victorian charm while introducing contemporary elements.
The interior design is a delightful mix of traditional pub aesthetics and modern touches, featuring colourful leather seating, low leather armchairs, and large windows that allow natural light to flood the space. This combination creates a light and summery ambience, perfect for social gatherings.
Temper and Brown is more than just a pub; it is a community hub where excellent food, drinks, and atmosphere come together to create a memorable experience. With its historical roots, modern amenities, and a focus on quality and sustainability, it stands out as a must-visit destination in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter.
The team proudly support artisanal suppliers who are independent and sustainable, ensuring that the offerings are not only delicious but also ethically sourced.
With delicious menu including Reggae Roasts, fine ales and a busy music and events schedule (view here), Temper & Brown is most definitely a cool place to hang out, chill, dine and be entertained in the heart of the famous Jewellery Quarter.
