The Button Factory Birmingham is a restaurant and bar at 25 Frederick Street in the Jewellery Quarter. Set within a restored former factory, it combines industrial character with comfortable dining areas and a roof garden for meals, drinks and social occasions.
An open robata grill sits at the centre of the kitchen’s approach, using English oak to bring smoke and char to meat, fish and vegetables. Small plates and flatbreads make sharing straightforward, while grilled mains offer a more conventional individual meal.
Lamb kofta, calamari, fried chicken and hummus sit alongside shawarma flatbreads, burgers, steak, chicken skewers and vegetable dishes. Weekend brunch and Sunday service give the menu a different rhythm, and desserts provide a natural finish after the grill.
Cocktails, wine, beer and non-alcoholic drinks support both dining and later visits to the bar. The venue accepts bookings and also works well for groups. Guests with allergies should request the current allergen menu and discuss sesame, dairy, gluten and shared grill or fryer use with staff.
Address: 25 Frederick Street, Jewellery Quarter, Birmingham B1 3HH, England
