Boxbar Tech makes a big new signing as Birmingham City FC gives stadium bar a self-service makeover

EFL League One football team Birmingham City FC has worked with Boxbar Tech to overhaul the Globe & Ball bar in its St Andrew’s stadium and give it a self-service twist.

In a LInkedIn post, Boxbar Tech said: “Alongside our partners at Levy UK, we’re thrilled to announce we have transformed the Globe & Ball bar at the St Andrew’s @ Knighthead Park stadium, delivering a structurally integrated, fully bespoke and permanent in-built self-service bar wall.”

It added: “Since the start of the season, the Globe & Ball has been treating Blues fans to a choice of self-serve draft beer and cider including Cruzcampo, Birra Moretti, Beavertown Neck Oil and Strongbow Dark Fruits, pouring from: a fully branded installation; with six in-built Boxbar terminals; and 12 serving taps”

“With each terminal able to serve two pints end-to-end in under 30 seconds, fans have welcomed the new experience with open arms. So much so that additional terminals have now been introduced to a second location in the stadium to keep up with demand.”
