1000 Trades - A Birmingham pub
We champion all forms of craft over three floors of our nineteenth century building – built as a jewellery workshop before becoming a badge factory, and then the 1000 Trades pub we are today.
Four real ales, seven craft beers, eleven natural wines on tap, with a rotating, diverse food offer including guest chefs. Our soundtrack is prepared in partnership with Birmingham’s music community, and there's local artwork showcased on the walls.
1000 Trades is a space for the community, whether you are here for a pint. Live music, comedy, celebrations or a quiet place to work, you will always find a warm welcome.
