With Hibs set to face English Premier League side Aston Villa at Villa Park in the Europa Conference League play-off second leg this week, we’ve taken a look at some of the Birmingham pubs Hibees could enjoy a pint in before the away leg.
Thousands of Hibs supporters are expected to travel for this battle of Britain clash, even though the Hibess were well beaten in the first leg, going down to a heavy 5-0 home loss at Easter Road last week.
The UK’s second largest city has plenty of boozers for Hibs supporters to congregate before and after the second leg at Villa Park on Thursday, August 31. As fans make the most of the shortish European journey down south against Aston Villa, who are of course captained by Hibs legend ‘Super’ John McGinn.

. Hennessey's Bar
Hibs supporters are sure to receive a warm welcome at Hennessey's Bar, 30-31 at Allison Street. The city centre pub is popular with fans of Aston Villa's rivals Birmingham City and is packed with 'Blues' fans before and after their games at St Andrew's stadium. The pub is also just a ten minute walk from New Street Train Station, so the perfect spot to enjoy a cold pint after the Hibs fans complete their four hour train journey to Birmingham. Photo: Google
