Welcome To Birmingham Food Podcast Breaking Bread, Samuel Boulton
Hello & a very warm welcome back to the Birmingham food podcast breaking bread. Co-hosted by food-obsessed mates Liam & Carl, Breaking Bread gives you long-form interviews & discussions with the incredible people that make Brums food scene so amazing. We break bread with Samuel Boulton, the owner of the excellent award winning cocktail bar & exciting new Japanese inspired Shibuya Underground.
Who Is Samuel Boulton?
While studying at uni Sam began working in bars, gradually becoming more & more interested in the cocktail & mixology side of the industry. This ignited a passion in Sam and after a couple of jobs, Samuel decided that working for somebody else isn’t for him and he needs to be his own boss.
After borrowing some money from his family Vanguard was born. The Jewellery Quarter bar Sam launched with a budget of just £1800 went on to become a favorite for many Brummies with their focus on mead based cocktails making it different from everywhere else.
The Pineapple Club
The historic Great Western Arcade in the heart of Brum city centre is where you can find Samuel Boulton’s second venture. After a couple of years with Vanguard Sam decided they had outgrown the upstairs venue & opened The Pineapple Club. A uniquely stylish bar that offers great food as well as well made premium cocktails.
Shibuya Underground
Sams’s latest opening is the brand new Shibuya Underground. A project that has allowed Sam, a certified Sake sommelier to express his love of Japan & it’s culture. The cozy bar seats very few & offers only two 6-course tasting menus, a sake menu or a Japanese inspired cocktail menu. The interior is incredible and feels very authentic making you feel like you are sitting in a bar in Tokyo.
