バーミンガム のベスト ゲイバー＆クラブ

Birmingham's Gay Village on Hurst Street is one of the UK's most established LGBTQ+ neighborhoods. It's a compact strip of bars, clubs, and venues in the Southside district, right near the Chinese Quarter. You can walk it end-to-end, but there's enough going on to make an evening interesting.

The Hurst Street Scene

• The Nightingale Club (18 Kent Street) is one of the UK's oldest gay clubs, running for over four decades. It's an institution. Expect drag shows, themed nights, and a big dance floor.
• The Village Inn (152 Hurst Street) calls itself "Birmingham's biggest and best gay venue for live entertainment and cabaret." It's open seven days a week, and the cabaret is genuinely good.
• Eden (121 Sherlock Street) has won awards. Happy hour is Monday–Friday from 2–7pm. There's a pool table, a garden, a smoking area, and a marquee for bigger events.
• Missing Bar (48 Bromsgrove Street) is a party bar in the Village. It's become a more high-energy option in recent years.
• WashWorx (131 Hurst Street) is a theatrical cocktail bar in the former Sidewalk premises, serving creative cocktails in the heart of the Village.
• Equator Bar (123 Hurst Street) is a relaxed cafe-bar by day that turns into a lively spot at night.
• Glamorous (27-35 Hurst Street) is a late-night bar and club known for drag shows, open into the early hours.
• The Fox (17 Lower Essex Street) is a traditional gay pub with a strong lesbian following.
• The Fountain Inn (102 Wrentham Street) is a friendly gay pub with letting rooms.

Saunas & Cruise

• Spartan Health Club (George Road, Erdington) is Birmingham's longest-running gay men's sauna, open since 1982. Yumbo, in the Jewellery Quarter, is a newer gay bar and sauna. (Boltz Club on Lower Essex Street closed in 2025.)

Birmingham Pride

Birmingham Pride happens on the late May bank holiday weekend. It's one of the UK's biggest Pride events outside London, bringing tens of thousands to the Gay Village and nearby streets. The parade goes through the city center; the Village itself has stages, food, and entertainment. Book your accommodation well in advance.
