The Old Contemptibles

The Old Contemptibles is a bar and restaurant venue in Birmingham City Centre, offering two named spaces for standing events up to 64 guests. Warm lighting and reflective surfaces give the interior a distinctive atmosphere, while natural light adds another dimension to the environment. The larger Expedition Room holds up to 64 standing, and the Campaign Room accommodates up to 40 standing - useful when a more contained gathering is needed alongside a larger one. On-site facilities include a sound system, flatscreen display screen, high-speed internet, air conditioning, and breakout rooms, giving event managers a reasonable set of practical tools without needing to bring much in. Birmingham Snow Hill Station is a one-minute walk away, with Bull Street Tram Stop four minutes on foot, making the venue straightforward to reach by public transport. Birmingham Airport is approximately 24 minutes by car. Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery is a seven-minute walk, and the Library of Birmingham is eleven minutes on foot.
