What is the name of the pub the Shelby family operates?

The story behind the answer

The Shelby family operates The Garrison pub in Peaky Blinders. The pub is one of the family’s main bases in Small Heath, Birmingham, and serves as a meeting place for business, drinking, planning, and confrontation.

The Garrison is closely associated with Tommy Shelby and his brothers, Arthur and John. In the early story, the Peaky Blinders use the pub as a practical headquarters while expanding their influence through illegal betting, protection rackets, and other criminal schemes. Grace Burgess also works there undercover as a barmaid during the first series, making the pub central to the show’s opening storyline.

The name can cause confusion because many British pubs share traditional names such as The Red Lion or The Crown. In the series, however, The Garrison is the Shelby family’s pub. It is a fictionalised setting connected to the real Birmingham neighbourhood of Small Heath and should not be confused with the Garrison Lane area or other real pubs using the same word.
