This is a fantastic pub and bar opportunity on the lively Harborne High Street, right in the heart of the famous Harborne Run. Formerly operating as a Slug & Lettuce, this large, contemporary venue is now ready for a new chapter under the Pub Partners model — giving the incoming operator full flexibility to shape the site to their own vision. The venue is zoned to cater for a wide range of occasions. Comfortable booths provide the perfect setting for relaxed drinks or casual dining with friends, while the open-plan bar space makes it ideal for late-night trade.

With a fully equipped trade kitchen and a 1am weekend licence, this site is primed for multiple revenue streams — from quality food and casual daytime trade to live entertainment and late-night drinks.

Surrounding Area Harborne is a charming and affluent suburb located just a few miles southwest of Birmingham city centre, offering an attractive mix of community spirit, leafy streets, and buzzing high-street life. The area has a reputation for its independent shops, cafés, and restaurants, as well as its strong pub and bar scene. Central to that is the Harborne Run, one of the UK’s best-known pub crawls. Spanning nine pubs and bars along Harborne High Street, the Run draws both locals and visitors looking for a lively and memorable night out. This venue typically sits at the midpoint of the crawl, giving it a natural advantage for attracting footfall throughout the evening. With Birmingham University and the Queen Elizabeth Hospital nearby, Harborne enjoys a steady flow of students, professionals, and families, ensuring a diverse customer base. Excellent transport links into central Birmingham also make it a popular destination for weekend nights out. Taken together, this makes Harborne an exciting place to run a pub in Birmingham with strong growth potential.
