back to backs (National Trust inner city victorian life type thing supposed to be v good)
Aston Hall

try http://www.birmingham.org.uk/

Dinner
Bank (brindley place)
Jessicas - edgbaston
Rajdoot - Indian (St Pauls Sq)
Bucklemaker - best food in the world (St Pauls Sq)
Barton Arms - supurb thai (newtown - complete dump get a taxi for gawds sake but highly recommended)
le petit blanc (brindley place)

If you want something more casual for drinks and dinner but still civilised try the green rooms http://www.greenroomcafebar.co.uk/ or Bar estilo at mailbox - the best tapas in brum and the rioja is fabulous.

Drinks
all-bar-one brindley place
apres - summer row
bacchus - new street - nice and very unusual but its underground so you're not going to see much of a nice evening

Personally Id stay away from Broad Street, apart from the lounge, and whatever you do, dont go to Tin Tins (chinese) in brindley place

And wherever you eat, make sure you book - even on a sunday night

enjoy
you a Brummegum guide? work for the Visitor Bureux?
dont forget Colmore Row and even better , your fave haunt.. the soupkitchens at the back of Marks and Sparks

Go to Henry's in St Pauls Square. Far better than Tin Tins.

Although on Sunday as they do Buffets which is a bit rank IMO (sorry I have high standards -waiters serves me the food, I'm not up for this help yourself rubbish ). But they'll still do stuff off the menu if you ask nicely (proper Cantonese grub...far superior to Chinese ).

yep food at henrys is good but i find the atmosphere fairly dire if there's not many tables in - its rather brightly lit and u feel a bit 'obvious'

hectic - i cant help it if my generosity towards the helpless and hopeless leads to serving you soup on a saturday night
