Missing Bar

The Fountain Inn is a traditional gay bar. It used to be a men only venue but now welcomes everyone, and is conveniently located near many other gay venues and restaurants. It's the perfect place to spend the night, as the hotel above the bar is one of the few places to stay within the gay quarter. You can party till late and go straight to your accommodation. Both will make you feel at home away from home.

The Village Inn is one of the most well-established and popular bars in Birmingham's Gay Quarter. It offers entertainment every night of the week, in the form of appearances from some of the best drag and cabaret acts in the area. Queens host weekly bingo and karaoke, and the biggest names appear on a Saturday nights when the bar is open well into Sunday morning. Regulars always have their favourite night of the week to visit The Village Inn!

WashWorx brings a fresh look to one of Birmingham Gay Village’s best-known addresses, taking over the former Sidewalk space on Hurst Street. Earlier in the day it works as a stylish social bar for cocktails, sharing plates and relaxed catch-ups, with the energy building later through DJs, drag-led entertainment and themed nights. You’re right in the middle of the Gay Village here, with Missing Bar, Equator, The Village Inn and Nightingale all only a short walk away. Fridays are particularly LGBTQ+ focused with Untidy Fridays, combining drag, DJs and pop favourites. Expect a broad queer crowd, groups of friends and plenty of people starting their night before moving on to the clubs.

This award-winning old school bar is a destination for real ale lovers. It's renowned for its outstanding range of drinks and the depth of knowledge of ale shown by the staff. The beautiful rooftop terrace is wheelchair-accessible, so absolutely everyone is welcome to enjoy premium drinks in a premium spot. Plenty of bar snacks are available customers are welcome to bring their own food and just enjoy themselves with all the drinks they could wish for.

The Nightingale Club is Birmingham's oldest and largest LGBT venue. It has three floors of music, four rooms, five bars, and regular drinks offers so you can have a night out that doesn't break the bank. The club stage welcomes great drag acts who keep the music and fun going into the early hours. This venue is loud and proud and super flamboyant with an atmosphere to match the talent of the queens.

Missing Bar is Birmingham's party bar in the heart of the gay village. It's the first gay bar that you come to as you walk down Hurst Street and it's well worth a visit if you're looking for a good time. The venue, which used to be exclusively a cabaret bar, has now been taken over my new management who have completely redone the interior to create a modern and exciting party bar that offers a little bit of everything.
