About Bodega
## The Surprise
Nobody expects to find Barcelona-level cocktails in Harborne, which makes Bodega such a delightful discovery. This three-floor venue transforms a corner building into Birmingham's most authentic Spanish drinking experience.
## The Rooftop
Climb to the top floor for panoramic views that stretch across Birmingham's evolving skyline. The terrace feels like a secret garden suspended above the suburbs, perfect for sunset drinks before the evening crowd arrives.
## The Drinks
The gin collection spans 150+ bottles, with Spanish varieties taking centre stage alongside carefully chosen British distilleries. Cocktails lean heavily into sherry and vermouth, creating complexity that pairs beautifully with their tapas selection.
## The Experience
Weeknight visits offer a more intimate experience, while weekends buzz with energy. The middle floor strikes the perfect balance between the rooftop's romance and the ground floor's liveliness. Book ahead for rooftop tables, especially during summer months.
