The food guru looks at new and exciting cocktail venues in Brum<\/h3>\n

\n <\/p>\n

If you like gin, then 40 St Paul\u2019s should be on your list to visit. Cocktail maestro Amanjot Singh Johal has opened his new cocktail bar in the Jewellery Quarter.<\/p>\n


\n <\/p>\n

Amanjot is the former\u00a0bar manager of Great Hampton Street\u2019s late-night venue The Church Inn.\u00a0 He has now joined forces with Rob Wood (formerly of The Edgbaston) to launch his own business.<\/p>\n


\n <\/p>\n

The duo aim to create one of the city\u2019s smallest and most exclusive bars, with just 24 seats in a former corner shop in Cox Street, overlooking St Paul\u2019s Square. \u00a0There are 58 types in stock at the moment, although there are plans to expand that to 120. The most expensive label behind the bar is the Anty Gin, made from red ants \u2013 yes, really! Apparently they add a citrus taste. A double gin and tonic costs \u00a320.<\/p>\n

Cocktails with Indico\u00a0 –\u00a0 indicostreetfood.co.uk<\/strong><\/p>\n


\n <\/p>\n

Streetfood was all the rage in Birmingham in 2015 and its looks like it\u2019s not going to stop anytime soon; so it was no surprise to see that a new Indian street food restaurant will be opening up very soon.<\/p>\n


\n <\/p>\n

Indico will be opening at the Parkgate shopping complex in Shirley. Owner Farheem Madhur has been exploring the best street food from all over India, provided by the best and most well known street vendors to put on the Indico menu.<\/p>\n


\n <\/p>\n

The Indian inspired cocktail menu looks pretty innovative too. With exciting creations such as Masala Martini – an Indian twist to James Bond\u2019s favourite tipple; Sharabi Nariayal – \u00a0a coconut filled with vodka then mixed with a dash of lemon juice for a tangy flavour; and one that really intrigues me, the Tom Yum Mohito. A mojito teamed with Thai Tom Yum mix, which is first frozen then mixed with Demerara before being added to the Mojito?! \u00a0I love Tom Yam soup and Mojito, so I can\u2019t wait to see if this sour cocktail infused with spices and ginger will work.<\/p>\n

Big Move For Adam\u2019s Restaurant\u00a0 –\u00a0 http:\/\/www.adamsrestaurant.co.uk<\/strong><\/p>\n


\n <\/p>\n

Birmingham\u2019s Michelin-starred Adam\u2019s Restaurant will be moving to stylish new premises on Waterloo Street from\u00a0January 26th.<\/p>\n


\n <\/p>\n

The restaurant – which has operated as a \u2018pop-up\u2019 for two-and-a-half years in Bennett\u2019s Hill in the city centre – is moving just round the corner overlooking Victoria Square. During their time in Birmingham, chef-patron Adam Stokes and his team have won a string of accolades. Honours have included a Michelin star, three AA Rosettes and a placing in the list of the UK\u2019s top 30 restaurants.<\/p>\n


\n <\/p>\n

The new Adam\u2019s will be a 35-seater – but will also boast a 16-seater private dining room and a chef\u2019s table will be added in the kitchen soon after.<\/p>\n


\n <\/p>\n

Adam said: \u201cThere will be a change to the menu formats, too. We will offer a great value lunch menu and a tasting menu, with the addition of an a la carte option.<\/p>\n


\n <\/p>\n

\u201cThere will also be a bespoke tasting menu for the chefs table.\u201d<\/p>\n
