Hare & Hounds Kings Heath

Hare & Hounds Kings Heath Award-winning independent pub/venue, programming music & arts every week of the year.

Tickets for all our events: https://hareandhoundskingsheath.co.uk/ -on Situated in the South Birmingham suburb of Kings Heath, the Hare and Hounds has been around since 1820, but has stood in its present form since 1907. This, along with the beautiful and unique Art Nouveau tiles that line the entry hall and staircase, is a major contributing factor to its current Grade II listed status. Although playing host to local Birmingham legends UB40’s first ever gig in 1979 (recently commemorated by a PRS Music Heritage award and plaque), it is only in the past 15 years that it’s really established itself as one of the most important and influential music venues in the country, playing a vital part in nurturing the city’s vibrant music and creative community. The pub boasts two downstairs bars which host regular food evenings, a pub quiz and weekend DJs whilst the two upstairs venues feature live music & club nights spanning jazz, indie, funk, reggae, hip hop, soul, house, D’n’B & comedy most nights of the week. Local & national promoters who present shows at the Hare & Hounds include Leftfoot, This Is Tmrw, Metropolis Music, SJM, AEG, Kilimanjaro, Live Nation, Glasswerk, Capsule (Supersonic Festival), Moseley Folk Festival, Mostly Jazz, Funk & Soul Festival and many more…

Update regarding our saloon Blues Club 💭

After 15 fabulous years, our weekly scheduled Blues Club down in the saloon will be winding down, with the last saloon Blues Club taking place on Saturday 26th September. The room was not really designed for amplified live music and that amount of people, so we’ve faced increasing pressures through compliance issues over the last few years. It was a really hard decision to make but it’s something we needed to address.

We’d like to take a moment to thank Dylan and Dave for their work on it for the past fifteen years, as well as all the fantastic performers we’ve had, and to everyone who came in week after week to enjoy. We thank you very much for your love and support—it’s now time for our saloon to enter a new era.

You can still catch a regular Blues Club performance upstairs, organised by Dylan and Dave (more details to come on our website); for more info on upcoming Blues Clubs around the city, we encourage our regulars to get in touch with Dylan and Dave.
