Sticks 'n' Sushi is heading to one of the most picturesque parts of Birmingham, and new details have now been revealed. The Japanese-inspired restaurant chain plans to open at Chamberlain Square in the Paradise development, with a premises licence application submitted to Birmingham City Council.
Key Details of the Application
The application, made under the Licensing Act 2003 and published in the Birmingham Mail, sets out proposed hours for alcohol sales, recorded music, and late-night refreshment. Trading hours extend later towards the end of the week:
- Recorded music (indoors and outdoors): Sunday to Wednesday 10am to midnight; Thursday to Saturday 10am to 1am.
- Late night refreshment (indoors and outdoors): Sunday to Wednesday 11pm to midnight; Thursday to Saturday 11pm to 1am.

How to Have Your Say
Anyone wishing to make a representation must submit it in writing to General Licensing, Regulation and Enforcement, PO Box 17831, Birmingham B2 2HJ, or by email to Licensing@birmingham.gov.uk, no later than 26 June 2026. Representations should state the grounds for concern, particularly in relation to licensing objectives such as the prevention of public nuisance or crime and disorder.
Viewing the Application
The application and the licensing register can be inspected during normal office hours at Birmingham City Council's address above, or on the council's website. Full details, including any non-standard timings, are available from the authority.
What This Could Mean for Chamberlain Square
If granted, the premises licence would permit on and off sales of alcohol alongside recorded music and late-night refreshment, supporting the evening and night-time economy in Paradise and the wider city centre. The outdoor element for recorded music and refreshment may require careful management to uphold licensing objectives and mitigate potential noise, litter, or dispersal issues. Operator policies on age verification, staff training, and incident logs are typically considered as part of such applications.
