Ello all.

Am coming down to Birmingham from Edinburgh for the classic car show in a few weeks, am staying in Broad St fri/saturday.

Where's good to go out ? Never been out in Brum before.

If you want a nasty night out stay on broad street, but if you want something a little less tacky go to the bars in the Arcadian, plus at the end of the night you can go to Mr Egg for the finest post session cuisine!!!

Less tacky sounds good...

Whats the Arcadian then ?
I take it everything is farily close by around city centre ?

Handful of bars(So bar, Bar coast....)open until 1 or 2am and a few resturants in a pedestrian square. There are a few clubs very close by, although i would stay away from Zanzibar as i regards this place as one of the worst clubs to have ever existed. Bamboo (club) is good a bet and is open until 4. Legs Eleven is worth a visit if it is a male only outing If you stay around this area you will fine wearing smart jeans and trainers, i was once nearly turned away from Bamboo as i had shirt and shoes on.

Arcadian is across town from Broad Street to the South of New Street Station and the new Bull Ring Shopping Centre.

It's also the Chinese Quarter and, if you fancy something different, there is always 'Legs 11'

I've not been drinking there myself, but I park there when working shifts nearby. It looks great and gets packed at weekends

Legs 11 seems to be a popular reccomendation.
Unfortunately there's females tagging along

Thanks for those links, i'll check them out.

Think we'll have a heavy friday night, then maybe go for a meal/few relaxed drinks on the saturday.

Dont want to be chucking up on the plane home on sunday morning.

Thanks again lads.
