The Alvechurch Inn is a former social club turned community pub in the centre of Alvechurch (Worcestershire, on Birmingham's southern edge), at Radford Road, B48 7LD. It runs a full entertainment calendar: weekly live music and DJ sets, comedy nights, a Wednesday quiz at 8pm, Sunday karaoke and live Sky Sports/TNT sport on the screens. Its monthly open mic lands on the third Tuesday of each month from 8pm, and the upstairs function room hosts occasional bands on Fridays and Saturdays. With a large-format venue and welcoming local feel, it is an accessible stage for covers acts, rock bands and open-mic newcomers in the Alvechurch and south Birmingham area.
