Planning an event in Birmingham and don’t want it to feel like every other office party or birthday do you’ve been to? Siamais, tucked into the heart of Brindley Place, might just be the venue you didn’t know you were looking for.
Best known as one of the city’s standout Thai restaurants and cocktail bars, Siamais has quietly become one of Birmingham’s most in-demand spaces for private hire — and it’s easy to see why once you’ve stepped inside. Here’s what makes it such a strong choice for your next event.
1. A Dual Concept That Actually Works for Events
Siamais isn’t just one big room. The venue is split into a dedicated restaurant and a separate bar area, giving guests the freedom to move between dining and drinking without ever feeling boxed in. For events, this is a genuine advantage — your guests can sit down for a proper meal, then spill into the bar for cocktails and conversation, all without leaving the building.

2. Space for Every Size of Event
Whether you’re hosting an intimate celebration or a full-blown company party, Siamais scales with you. The Bar Area comfortably suits smaller, semi-private gatherings of up to around 50 guests, while exclusive hire of the whole venue can accommodate significantly larger groups — up to 200 people for a standing reception — across sit-down dining, canapé receptions or buffet-style events. It’s flexible enough to handle a 20-person birthday dinner or a 150-strong Christmas party without missing a beat.
3. Food and Drink That Actually Impresses
A venue is only as good as what’s on the table, and Siamais delivers. Guests can choose from two-to-four course set menus, canapés, banqueting-style spreads or a fully bespoke menu built around your event. Pair that with a cocktail list that leans theatrical and bold — think show-stopping presentation as much as flavour — and you’ve got a menu your guests will still be talking about weeks later. If you’d like a preview of what’s on offer, take a look at our Thai menu and bottomless brunch options before you book.

4. A Dedicated Event Organiser, Start to Finish
One of the biggest stresses of planning an event is the logistics — timings, suppliers, layout, menus. Siamais takes that off your plate with a dedicated event organiser who manages the details from first enquiry through to the big day, including access to trusted local suppliers for photographers, decorators and entertainment.
5. A Location That Does Half the Work for You
Sitting right in Brindley Place, Siamais benefits from one of Birmingham’s most attractive and central settings, with a heated, covered outdoor terrace for guests who want a breath of air between courses or cocktails. It’s the kind of location that makes an event feel like an occasion before it’s even started.
