D.J. Quinn's is a traditional Irish pub at 327 Highfield Road in Hall Green, Birmingham, opened in 2018 on the former Behan's Bar site and fully refitted with authentic Irish decor. Live music and sport are the heart of the place: a dedicated 200-capacity live-music room hosts bands every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night, with performances that blend rock and traditional Irish styles. Add a friendly, lively atmosphere, big-screen sport, and a 2025 'Double Tops' interactive-darts experience with two private oche lanes, and it's a busy, music-forward community boozer.
