This is
Birmingham UK's biggest
gay nightclub, with a capacity of about 2200. It is located at the heart of
Birmingham's
gay village in
Kent Street, just off the main strip in
Hurst Street. The club has 3 floors and is open 7 nights a week, playing primarily
cheesy pop music, as well as
hard dance on the top floor on a
Saturday night.
It has
computers with
internet connections, which can be useful for the
wallflower in retreat. It also has a
restaurant, serving
pizzas,
burgers,
chips and a few more items too. The restaurant is on the same floor as the
piano lounge, which is a welcome break for those only
clubbing for the sake of friends.
Most of the
staff at the club are gay, as are a majority of the
clientele. The club is also popular with
heterosexuals and
transvestites. It's a really great place to go, largely because of the mix of people and friendly and
tolerant atmosphere. The
age range of people there is very large too (about 18-70), taking the club away from the traditional
20-somethings' hedonism you see in most
nightspots now. The
shallowness of many of the
staff and
clientele can be a bit grating, but is only to be expected.
Its
address is
Kent Street,
Birmingham. It has
disabled access, as well as a
manually-operated lift to all floors.
