PubsAndRestaurants

Note that Saturday night is the conference dinner. However some of us are staying Friday and/or Sunday evenings and will want entertainment, others may be here longer for the sprints and need somewhere to go after a long programming session.

There are lots and lots of places to eat and drink in Birmingham. Please do feel free to add your favourites. Also see the main site: http://www.pyconuk.org/eating_out_in_brum.html

Balti

• The Balti (curry cooked in a metal dish) and Tikka Masala were invented in Birmingham by Indian immigrants, getting a good curry is a local tradition.
• One such place would be the Balti Triangle. If you are arranging a Sprint before the conference then one easy social event after a hard-days programming would be to go to the off-licence then to a curry house (many are bring your own booze).

Pubs

• The Bull is the meeting place of Python West Midlands. Good food, beer and wireless access.
• The centre has half a dozen Wetherspoons pubs, a quiet (music free) place to get real ale and cheap meal, also worth going there for English Breakfast.

Night Clubs

• Snobs is the Indie club with cheap booze that is often frequented by dishevelled computer geeks, so it may feel a bit more comfortable and safe than a more general nightclub. May well be where some of the younger/insomniac attendees will end up on Friday or Saturday night. Dress code: Jeans/T-shirts, no sportswear, baseball caps, etc. £2 entry before 11.30pm with the flyer available from the conference.
