The Gin Vault Menu

The Gin Vault is a canalside bar and dining venue at 16 Gas Street in Birmingham. Tucked beneath the Black Sabbath Bridge, the intimate room is designed around a very large gin collection, table service and a cosy atmosphere away from the busier main streets.

A tapas menu is served on Friday and Saturday, with dishes intended for sharing alongside drinks. Choices such as halloumi and prawns provide savoury pairings for the bar’s botanical focus, and bottomless brunches add a more structured food-led occasion.

The kitchen’s limited weekly schedule makes advance planning useful, but dining reservations are available and unreserved tables operate on a walk-in basis. Several small plates can be combined into a fuller meal while keeping the relaxed pace of a bar visit.

More than 470 gins sit at the heart of the drinks list, joined by cocktails, craft beer and other spirits. Guided gin experiences and cocktail masterclasses suit celebrations and groups. The kitchen handles allergenic ingredients in shared areas, so guests with allergies should speak with staff when ordering.

Address: 16 Gas Street, Birmingham B1 2JT, England
