Nestled within the historic grandeur of the Grand Hotel Birmingham, Isaac’s restaurant offers a culinary experience that beautifully marries British brasserie cuisine with a touch of French flair. This elegant dining destination is not only a testament to the rich culinary traditions of the UK but also reflects the contemporary trends of modern gastronomy. With a focus on seasonal ingredients and locally sourced produce, Isaac’s creates dishes that are both familiar and innovative, making it a must-visit for both locals and visitors alike. Along with that we also have launched our new jazz venue Inspired by the iconic Ronnie Scott’s and the famous Soho jazz scene, Downstairs at The Grand brings the very best live blues, jazz and more back to the heart of our great city.

This intimate speakeasy-style venue hosts weekly residencies from top-tier musicians, with a programme that spans jazz, boogie-woogie, cabaret (think Crazy Coqs), and even West End stars performing musical theatre favourites.

Downstairs at The Grand is an intimate experience and a fantastic place to enjoy the very best in live entertainment. So grab an old fashioned, settle in, and soak up the sounds. There’s nowhere else quite like it in Birmingham.
