About Hare And Hounds

Hare and Hounds is a storied live music venue housed in a historic pub setting in Kings Heath, Birmingham. With two distinct performance spaces, the Main Room (approximately 250 standing) and an upstairs venue (~150), the venue delivers a flexible layout that adapts to each show. The venue has a reputation for nurturing acts from early on in their careers—including notable names like Ed Sheeran, Ellie Goulding, and Basement Jaxx—alongside a PRS Heritage plaque recognizing its contribution to the UK music scene. Whether you're here for a legendary UB40 gig from 1979 or a fresh performance, you’ll find a welcoming atmosphere, upfront access, and a rolling calendar of events.

Practical details to help you plan your night: seating varies by event and no public seating chart is published; access to the upstairs rooms is via stairs from the main pub area. Parking is limited, with free street parking available in the evenings and nearby pay/display car parks such as Silver Street, Dalton Road, and Streetly Road. Convenient transit includes bus routes 50 (24-hour service) and 35 stopping outside the venue, with Bournville as the nearest rail link. For a comfortable stay before or after the show, consider nearby hotels like Bloc Hotel (Jewellery Quarter) and local inns such as the Bournbrook Inn. We’ve got you covered with easy ticket access and trusted local recommendations to help you secure your seats without hassle.
