By order of the Peaky Blinder, The Garrison is coming back to Birmingham.

A new 12-bedroom hotel and bar is opening in Digbeth having been restored to its 1920s glory.

Made famous for being the headquarters of the Shelby gang in the hit BBC show, the hotel will replace O’Rourke’s on the corner of Oxford Street and will be situated less than a mile away from the original Garrison, which was sold four years ago for £183,000.

The owners of the new Garrison Hotel and Bar have run The Peaky Blinders pub in Dale End for the past five years and, after being inundated with visitors about the show, wanted to create a more authentic experience for Peaky Blinder fans.

Owner Tom O’Rourke told BirminghamLive: “The Garrison is coming back to Birmingham!

“It’s a fantastic part of Brummie history and we’re really excited about opening.

“We’ve had O’Rourke’s for a while and the building itself is well over 100 years old. To me, it looks just like The Garrison from the series. It’s the same design and has the same layout.

“We should be finishing the bar off this week. There will be 12 bedrooms, a bar and a lounge. It will be just like the Garrison with the oak finishes and boutique-style interior.

“It will be proper and as if you’re back in the 1920s with Tommy, Arthur and the boys.”

Tom, 34, added: “I’ve met Steven Knight a few times and I know he is delighted how his hometown is getting recognition on the back of the series.

“Peaky Blinders is a global brand which belongs to Birmingham because they were real people.

“We have been amazed by how many fans turn up to our bar in Dale End, we always make a fuss of them, take a photo and put them on our wall of fame.

“But they will have an amazing experience at The Garrison.

“The Commonwealth Games is coming to Birmingham in four years and we will have people from across the world visiting our city so we expect The Garrison to be very popular.

“And we are pretty sure visitors to Birmingham anytime of the year want to stay somewhere with character - and The Garrison will definitely offer that.”

Rooms will be from £35 a night an an opening offer to those wanting to stay over.

Building work is expected to be complete within the next three to four weeks ahead of an official launch party where it’s hoped stars of the series will be there to open it.
