About this place Eden Bar

Eden Bar is on Hurst Street — the main drag of Birmingham's Gay Village — and functions as the street's most accessible and relaxed venue: open from noon daily, mixed gay/lesbian/queer crowd, a large ground-floor bar with reasonable prices. The bar doesn't compete with the Nightingale on scale or the more specialist venues on atmosphere; its role is accessibility. It is the bar you go to first, where you meet before moving on, where you end up for a final drink after the clubs close. The Hurst Street location means it is equidistant from the Nightingale and the other village venues, and the bar's broad appeal means the crowd is genuinely mixed across age, gender and sexuality in a way that more specialist venues are not.

I would like a share a experience I had last Friday night. I've been regular at Eden bar from the day they opened, When visiting all three locations of Eden, I have never received bad customer service from the door staff, the bar team, Gary, Cal and Steve have all been extremely welcoming. I visited Eden last Friday I paid £4.95 for single Vodka and diet coke, I then went to another large venue up the road and paid a shocking £7.30 for the same drink that's a whopping 47% more expensive 😲 My point is yes Eden maybe a short walk from the main part of the gay Villiage but in my mind, the warm welcome, the amazing venue and the amazing priced drinks is definitely worth the four minute walk from heart of the gay Villiage. It would be unfair for me to name the other venue but I won't be going back.
