Society Birmingham is turning one, and the independent food and drink destination is marking the occasion with a whole host of celebrations in Colmore Square. Guests can expect £1 food offers from the Society street food kitchens, a birthday-cake-inspired cocktail special, a special first birthday beer, brewed by craft beer legends Deya, and a special Society-themed quiz.
Taking place from 5pm-6pm on Friday 4th September, Society’s Golden Hour offer gives guests the chance to get their hands on a selection of dishes from across Society’s independent kitchens for just £1.
For one hour only, Pan-Asian pros Manzoku will be serving five of its salt and pepper wings for £1; Japanese sando specialists Shokupan will be dishing up single chicken Caesar sandos for £1; pizza masters Amore will be firing up £1 margherita pizzas, while Indian street food heroes Asha’s will offer masala fries for £1 alongside complimentary masala tea. The newest edition to Society’s street food roster, Bostin Burgers, will also be giving away free fries with every burger throughout the Golden Hour period.
The bar team will also be getting in on the birthday action with a suitably celebratory cocktail created especially for the occasion, and a Society Birthday Pale, brewed by big-name craft brewers, Deya. The birthday pale is a 4.5% soft, juicy pale ale with tropical and lime flavours, and will be pouring for the birthday weekend whilst stocks last.
On their cocktail roster for the birthday weekend, Party in a Coupe combines Absolut Vanilla, vanilla and salted caramel syrups and cream, topped with thick vanilla whipped cream and hundreds and thousands for a cocktail inspired by the ultimate birthday cake.
Putting guests’ knowledge of Society’s first 12 months to the test, Rocky’s Quizzes will also host the Big Fat Society Quiz of the Year on Wednesday 2nd September, with special Society-themed rounds looking back at everything that’s happened since the doors first opened.
Society itself will be going full birthday mode for the weekend, with the venue dressed for the occasion, local DJs spinning soul, funk and house tunes, and plenty more celebrations taking place throughout the week
Oliver Smith, Head of Operations at Society Birmingham, said:
“It feels mad that it’s already been a year since we opened the doors to Society Birmingham. We wanted our first birthday to be a proper celebration of the venue, our traders and everyone who has supported us over the last 12 months. Golden Hour is our way of kicking things off with a bang – getting all of our traders involved and giving people the chance to try some brilliant food for just £1. Throw in a birthday cocktail, a quiz dedicated to our first year and a venue full of birthday decorations, and it should be a really fun week of celebrations. We’d love to see as many people as possible come down and celebrate with us!”
Society Birmingham opened in September 2025, bringing together independent street food traders, an extensive line-up of craft beer, cocktails and regular events under one roof in the heart of the city.
The first birthday celebrations will take place at Society Birmingham on Friday 4th September, with Golden Hour running from 5pm until 6pm.
