Results tagged “Rum Runner” from Birmingham Mail - Restaurant Spy

While my family tucks into bangers and mash at home tonight, I'll be at the ICC at the Best of Broad Street awards. It sounds glitzy occasion and there will be a full report of who won what in Tuesday's Birmingham Mail.

It has its critics, but I reckon Broad Street is a real success story. Think back a few years and it was a dismal, semi-derelict stretch with only the Rum Runner and Barbarella's to pull in the punters.

Today, with my clubbing days well in the past, you're unlikely to find me in any of its buzzing nightspots. Now Symphony Hall, the cinema or one of the restaurants appeal more.

Good luck to all the contenders at tonight's awards ceremony. Birmingham's hospitality industry is crucial to this city's success.
