Join us as we dive headfirst into the fabulous LGBT+ scene of Birmingham!
This time, our adventure takes us to the iconic Hirst Street, within Birmingham's bustling Chinese Quarter. Neither of us have explored BIRMINGHAM’s nightlife in ages, and we were itching to see what it had in store.
So, grab a virtual cocktail and get ready for a fun-filled tour! We'll be soaking up the atmosphere, checking out some of the hottest LGBT+ bars, and maybe even sipping a few sweet sherries along the way.
Best love as always, Colin & Tim, The Chatter Guys xxx

Was nice to see met my partner in the Nightingale when it was in Camp hill more than 40 years ago. We emigrated in 1981 and never came back to the city of my birth. Thanks for your post we always watch you guys.

Birminghams gay scene used to be so fun and vibrant - even the weeknights back in the 90s and most of the 2000s these bars were rammed and making a pretty profit but since grindr / and the residental gentrification of hurst street - the gay bar is under threat and birminghams scene is well and truly done. Eden (the old white swan) GONE (now at the old Jester) but Jester GONE, Unit 2 the Sauna - GONE (no sauna in the city centre). Nightgales is literally the only nightclub now (but before we had ( Subway / DV8 / Route 2 / Chic - all GONE), - the only two venues worth going are Missing and The Village. Fountain used to be lovely in the summer garden (now its been built-in by these residental monostosities) - and boltz looks next to go (buldozed for more residential shoeboxes). Loft is nice and Sidewalk but they dont have the same pre-club vibe that the old Angels bar used to have. The gay quater would be better to reloctate over by the Hockley edge of town - or down Constitution Hill / (make it full of bars and LGBT businesses - or by Water Street / Livery Street. Plus the scene should somehow get ownership over the Tunnel Club (subway city) that club was the scenes best - and bring that back into use as an lgbt night club..

Hi David. Thanks for your comment. Sadly, it's pretty much the same story all over the UK. We do think that part of it is due to the general acceptance of the LGBT+ community. But we'll take that over the constant threat of being queer bashed like it was in the 80s. Also, we seem to have totally misjudged The Village Inn. Several people have commented how much they like the place. We must pay another visit next time we're in Birmingham 🏳️‍🌈

Fun fact... The memorial to HIV/AIDS is the only thing for people living with HIV in Birmingham. I helped out at a drop in centre that the council stopped funding over 7 years ago and THT, who were based miles from the scene left around the same time. I was curious when this was unveiled and emailed the LGBT centre and asked what they provided for people with HIV and it's still nothing which for the "second city" is a bit crap. As for the scene - I remember the good old days and gave it another shot a couple of weeks ago just to find myself being wary of people in bars following drunk people round (they were sober,) and just felt they were up to no good and I felt they were looking for someone to rob.

Thank you for your comment. We didn't get that vibe at all when we were in Birmingham and we didn't come across any trouble. It's disappointing that there's no support for anyone living with HIV or AIDS. 😟 xx

I think you’re wrong, I’ve had a lot more issues in London and Manchester than I ever have had in Birmingham…. The bars and clubs there are busier than ever and new coffee shops/cafes etc and apartments been build near by will only make it busier especially for day trade… I also hear that a new venue/bar is due to open in the gay village this year so infact it’s growing rather than getting smaller… very friendly and inclusive which makes Birmingham even more appealing and Birmingham Pride weekend ( 80,000 visitors this year from as far as Amsterdam, America, France, Spain and that’s just from speaking to them ) is easily the best in the U.K…. 🥳🌈💃🏻🕺🏾🍹

@@jameshollyoak8230 Unfortunately that’s an issue across the board in hospitality at the moment, especially gay venues… gay late has closed in london and heaven looks like it may follow, this with a millionaire owner also… There was a homophobic issue at the bar across from the Hippodrome, no serious injuries and the idiot was arrested… it’s not the norm around there as for example everytime I’m in Manchester I see homophobia and fights, though I still love Manchester, but I find Birmingham much safer, chilled and easy going on the whole 👍🏼
