It's not every day I get invited along to try out Birmingham's first New York style speakeasy bar, so I was very happy when I was invited along to try out Bourne and Co. I have been past the location numerous times on my way to Island Bar or The Victoria but for some reason or the other, I haven't ventured in before. God knows why. The bar is owned by Mikey Bourne, hence the name and it's theme is the 1920's prohibition era. As soon as I walked in, I liked the venue. The atmosphere was relaxed and not pretentious, I also liked that they were skulls adorning the room and the colour scheme of brown, black and gold was very pleasing to my eye.
