Arch 13 at Connollys — Restaurant in Birmingham

My wife and I visited Arch 13 on a Tuesday evening after work. It was quiet when we arrived, with only one other couple in there, but it soon started to get busy as more post-work couples and groups came in.

The wine selection is good, there isn't an intimidating brochure, instead the selection has a wine for any taste, we settled on a lovely wine from Alsace. For those that want to go off-menu, there is the option of buying a bottle from the in-house wine merchant and paying corkage to drink on site.

Thank you so much for a brilliant evening. If you are looking for something special and unique Arch 13 is definitely the...

We visited Arch 13 on a Friday afternoon after having had a light lunch in Birmingham City Centre. The beauty of Arch 13 is the phenomenal range of wine – not just on the Wine List – but also because you can purchase a bottle of wine from the shop and drink that – just paying corkage – which is great value for a food establishment Inevitably, we got a little peckish and decided to order some food.
