Thousands visit Birmingham’s huge new Irish bar in days after its opening with live music and Guinness
More than 4,000 pints of Guinness and Murphy - and 20 live music acts - mark the opening of Birmingham city centre’s latest Irish bar which has already welcomed more than 3,500 through its doors
The doors opened with a bang at Katie O’Brien’s Irish Tavern in Birmingham city centre over the August bank holiday weekend.
The huge new Irish bar has already welcomed more than 3,500 people to the pub on Temple Street (where The Botanist used to be) since Saturday (August 22).
More than 4,000 pints of Guinness and Murphy’s have been sipped while guests, from near and far, have also enjoyed singing and dancing along to 20 live music acts.
Musicians who play at the venue include local stars as well as acts flying in from Ireland. There is also comprehensive coverage of all the big sports matches.
Jess Walker, sales and manager for Katie O’Brien’s parent company, the Innvest Group, said: “Customers included many locals and tourists that had travelled from other cities, they were ‘wowed’ by the venue and our unforgettable live music.
“We had 20 acts performing across the weekend for the first time on Katie's stage. The team worked hard over the last few days in the build up to the weekend to make sure we were ready to go, and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome or customer reaction.
“We are delighted to bring our authentic charm to Temple Street, we hope to see lots of the Irish community and all our other Katie’s fans now we have opened our doors.”
Katie’s is a traditional Irish pub, renowned for its live acts, from local talent to performers flying in from Ireland.
Jess added: “We have amazing sports coverage, capturing all the live action, so customers can enjoy an after-work pint of Saturday afternoon tipple while catching their teams. I really do feel like Katie’s offers something for everyone!”
