St Martin in the Bull Ring
St. Martin is the parish church of Birmingham, or "The Cathedral of the Bull Ring", as some would say. The first church was probably Norman, but was rebuilt in the 13th century. As it stands today, most of the church dates from 1875, though inside you can see the 1325 effigy of the Lord of the Manor Sir William de Bermingham. The church is Grade II* listed.

Chinese supermarket with a wide range of Asian foods.
Drink
Sobar
Supposedly a noodle bar, as evidence by a small noodle based menu. Really this is just a pretty decent bar/nightclub. It stocks the standard beers and drinks as well as a number of rarer Asian beers. Has a number of extremely comfortable sofas.
