The Rainbow & The Hare & Hounds
The Rainbow pub's a Digbeth institution (walk down the High Street past the Custard Factory...keep going...have faith...a little further...there it is. Expect to see some of the best up and coming bands and some rather fine DJ type nights. The Hare and Hounds pub is in Kings Heath and, just like The Rainbow, it's host to stacks of new bands and DJ's. Oh, there's The Flapper in central Birmingham too (down by the canal, behind the ICC). It's another pub with a good rep for putting on decent local and touring bands.
