The Hare & Hounds (occasionally and commonly referred to as the Hare and Hounds) is a public house and music venue on the High Street in the Kings Heath area of Birmingham, England. Originally built in 1820 and remodelled to its current form in 1907,[1] the Hare & Hounds is Grade II listed,[2] as it retains many original Art Nouveau internal fixtures.[3]

The Hare & Hounds hosted many up-and-coming artists early in their careers, including Ed Sheeran, Ellie Goulding, and Basement Jaxx.[4][5] The pub is best known for being the location of reggae and pop band UB40´s first gig in 1979.[6] In 2011, to commemorate the occasion, a PRS For Music Heritage Award plaque was unveiled.[7] In 2016, the Hare & Hounds won the Best Live Entertainment award at the Great British Pub Awards.[8]
