Players Bar Birmingham

Players Bar Birmingham
Players is a club on Broad street. It is like the typical clubs on Broad street - mainly students and young people. It gets busy on Fridays and Saturdays. It is very appealing on the outside and looks really good. There is a big enough smoking area facing the street. When you get in it is obvious that there is too much staff on every location possible but not at the bar and they are not really friendly (they don't really care).
Inside is good but mostly in the VIP area. The other part of the club is a bit neglected maybe because they are really trying people to book the VIP tables. Even their main advertising materials and campaigns are all promoting this VIP area. However, many clubs don't reflect on other smaller things that make really a change and only strive for more money. Also most of the materials are using nice quite naked women. You will be disappointed if you expect it when going there. At least they provide some drink offers for the VIP area.
The venue works 7 days a week.The music and the parties are well-thought. You will have fun - they are good in entertaining. The DJs are positioned in the corner in the back of the venue which is a bit pointless. There is no such thing as a basement club or at least is hardly never opened. The drinks are fine and the prices are like all other clubs on Broad street.

Subside Digbeth Birmingham

Subside Digbeth Birmingham

Subside is a rock bar in central Birmingham. It is in front of the Coach Station. The venue looks good from the outside. It is visible that it is a night bar and the best thing is that it works til 6,30 a.m.Once you are in, the place looks great. There is enough space for everyone to dance, to sit, to drink or even to play pool.
The music is pop-rock, rock and metal. The drinks are nice, on a good price and there is also a cocktail menu. The staff is very friendly and they work fast. The atmosphere is welcoming and lively. There is a smoking area  in the left side of the bar. It is a bit small compared to the capacity of the venue and it becomes a problem when it's raining.
Overall, it is a really good place if you like this type of music and even if you don't, you will enjoy trying it. Just remember, they don't have bracelets or stamps. So, when you go out, the security won't let you back in without paying again.

Jekyll and Hyde

Jekyll & Hyde

Jekyll & Hyde is a quite small bar located in the city center. Its design on the outside is eye-catching and it has an amazing garden in the style of Alice in Wonderland. Inside, it is a really small bar and many times there is no place to sit (especially on Fridays and Saturdays). So, before going there I recommend making a reservation. The put off is just that many times they reply that you should go and find a place on the bar by yourself and even the garden has only around 3 tables.
Moreover, the staff is really nice. They are really fun and will make your experience even better. The cocktails are also very good. There are the classic ones but they have also fun variations with candy in it. The music is good for dancing but there isn't enough space for this. The bar is visited by people of all ages but there are mostly younger people.

Update: There is a new menu. However, there are hardly any new cocktails just some of the old ones are removed. What is more, I have noticed a tendency that even though the new menu is smaller, it takes quite a lot of time for the staff to make the drinks. So, prepare to wait...
