Lulu Wild is a Chinese restaurant and cocktail bar on the canalside at Brindleyplace in Birmingham city centre, easy to spot thanks to its neon on The Waters Edge. Part of the independent Enchanted Ventures group, alongside Siamais and Smokey Barrels, it brings together modern Chinese cooking, ambitious cocktails and a late-night atmosphere under one roof.
The food centres on dim sum made in-house, steamed, pan-fried and baked, alongside aromatic duck, XO prawns and wok classics with proper heat behind them. Vegetarian and vegan dishes are part of the main menu rather than an afterthought, and there is a dedicated lunch menu for daytime visits.
The cocktail bar is a big part of the Lulu Wild experience. Signature drinks are built to smoke, glow and impress, and when dinner winds down the bar takes over with the music building through the night. On Fridays and Saturdays it stays open until 2am.
The weekend bottomless brunch pairs bubbles and cocktails with Chinese plates chosen from the main menu, making it a favourite for birthdays and hen parties. For anyone heading to a gig or show, the Events and Show Menu offers sharing plates and quick service before the Utilita Arena, the ICC or Symphony Hall.
Lulu Wild also hosts private dining, venue hire and Christmas parties, and sells gift vouchers from £25.
Getting there is easy. The restaurant is two minutes from Broad Street, about five minutes along the canal from the Utilita Arena and around ten minutes’ walk from New Street Station, with Q-Park Brindleyplace the nearest car park.
