A new Digbeth bar that promises to serve up ‘cocktails, attitude and good vibes only’ is set to open to the public for the first time this weekend.

Sophy Digbeth will be a sister bar to Sophy Leicester and it takes over the former Kilo Ziro at the Custard Factory.

The bar has been designed to be a ‘safe space’ that’s predominantly targeted at women, with a ‘zero tolerance’ policy towards harassment brought in by a female-led team.

The doors will open on Friday, May 2 at 5pm, with 90s and 00s music to be played across both floors until 4am.

Sophy says it has turned the old Kilo Ziro into a ‘stunning’ new space that’s ‘made for a girls’ night out’ with classic cocktails on the menu including pornstar martinis and old fashioneds, but with specials such as the dragonfruit blaze, pretty and pink and a spicy Te-Kill-Ya.

Bar manager Roxi said: “Following the success of Sophy Bar in Leicester, we’re thrilled to be opening our first Birmingham venue in the heart of Digbeth, Birmingham’s Creative Quarter.

“Sophy Bar will offer a lively, inclusive, and safe space primarily aimed at women, with cocktail parties, live music, and DJ events, including 80s and 90s nights, Spanish nights, and much more.

“We can’t wait to welcome everyone this weekend!”

The venue is then preparing for a ‘Cocktail and Spanish night’ on Saturday, May 3, opening from 5pm until 4am with free entry downstairs and a ticketed event upstairs. Sunday will see DJs and cocktails from 7pm until 4am.

Kilo Ziro closed back in February after the owners welcomed a new baby.

There are a number of new ventures in Digbeth that have been revealed in recent months with Low Places honky-tonk launching in March.

Meanwhile, the old Kerryman pub is currently undergoing a revamp as bosses work on a brand new bar packed with nods to cult movies.

It will have a late night license as well as a stage for live music.
