If you're looking for one of the biggest and if not the best Gay clubs in Birmingham, then you've come to the right place.

From VIP booths to dapper drinks deals, everyone is catered for at Nightingale.
From champagne afternoon tea in Birmingham to buzzing DJ nights on a Saturday, The Loft Lounge is a cool split between party venue and dining destination. From their black ceiling chandeliers and wood log fires, to slick dining tables and grand beer garden, The Loft Lounge is a contender for one of the glitziest bars on Hurst Street.
A buzzing DJ bar in Birmingham, Sidewalk are known for their raucous weekend parties. From cool chesterfield sofas and leather padded bar fronts, to low lighting and exposed brick work, Sidewalk is a happy middle between modernity and traditional. For some of the best drinks deals in Birmingham head to 'Pounded' every Monday night.
One of Hurst Street's quieter haunts, Equator is a welcoming venue that will leave you with warm feelings and happy memories. A relaxed and unpretentious bar, Equator offers patio bevvies and a great atmosphere in this modern and intimate space at the top of Hurst Street.
Missing is dedicated to one thing: partying! One of the city's smaller venues, its small size just means a more intimate, boisterous personality, with tonnes of attitude in everything from its DJ nights to drag shows. If you want a fun night in Hurst Street, you can't go far wrong with Missing.
