The Station is a friendly, family- and dog-friendly suburban pub at 7 High Street, Kings Heath, Birmingham (B14 7BB), built around a dedicated Back Room Bar for live-music events. It runs a regular grassroots music diary — 'Monday Muso' every Monday, 'Thursday Live' every Thursday, and 'Friday Blues' on the first Friday of each month — making it a reliable stage for local and blues acts. Food is a strong focus too, from daily breakfasts to weekend roasts and a monthly specials menu using locally sourced produce.

The Night
The Station is a live-music pub on Kings Heath High Street that previously ran a Thursday open mic (7:30pm, free drink for performers), but that night has ended — Open Mic Finder lists the venue as confirmed no longer running an open mic. The pub still programmes gigs and 'Muso Monday' live-music sessions, so it remains a music venue, just not an open-mic one. We'd love to relist it if an open mic returns.
