Multi-award-winning hospitality group The Evolv Collection, is set to expand its Chop House & Tavern brand with a landmark opening: Stories Tavern in Birmingham opening on 27 April.

The announcements follow the acclaimed launches of Liverpool Street Chop House & Tavern and Paternoster Tavern in London's St Paul's district, cementing the Tavern concept as one of Britain's most exciting hospitality propositions.

At the heart of every Tavern is a commitment to making quality beer genuinely accessible. All Tavern venues serve £5 pints all day, every day, including lager, IPA and Guinness, served in traditional tankards.

Martin Williams, CEO of The Evolv Collection, said: "We started with a simple idea, bring the £5 pint back to British cities. The Tavern concept has been extremely well received in London and we're looking forward to welcoming guests in both Birmingham and New York to experience our re-imagination of our founder's vision. It's a really exciting next step in the evolution of The Evolv Collection.”

Following the launch of 24 Stories (formerly Orelle), The Evolv Collection will transform the venue's downstairs bar into Stories Tavern.

Taking inspiration from original 17th and 18th century taverns, Stories Tavern will become a cosy, convivial space for after-work drinks, casual catchups, or a final round before the train home. Designed in partnership with historian Ron Cregan, known for his work with British heritage brands Mulberry and The Maybourne Group, the space will feature dark wood pallets, a deep red and blue colour scheme, elegant brass and gold detailing, and walls adorned with nautical and historical flags alongside antique prints.

Stories Tavern will also be home to a new outdoor terrace, providing the perfect spot for enjoying a drink whatever the weather.

Stories Tavern will open to the public on 27 April 2026. For more information, visit: evolvcollection.com
