Located near Aston University, this Brummie beer garden is also providing us with our Euros fix. Head to The Gosta Green, where you’ll find screens and unbelievable outdoor space to soak up the sun from. The pub is a pretty laid-back spot whatever time of day it may be and you can even score gold with their Wednesday offer of 30p per wing by sitting on their benches whilst having your own post-match analysis. You can book your place on The Gosta Green website and the pub even has some food and drink packages.
