sicwhite Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 Shall be heading to Brum for the weekend of November 5th, hopefully for the Norwich game and for UFC 138. Just wanted to know if there's anywhere decent to go for a few pints and some loud music on a Saturday night? All suggestions appreciated!
dAVe80 Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 Scruffy Murphy's, Dale End is your place mate. Think it's about the biggest rock/metal pub in the City.
sicwhite Posted September 9, 2011 Author Posted September 9, 2011 Cheers guys, I'll have a look online and see what these places are like. I'm staying at the Ibis near New Street Station, so the closer the better.
Rob182 Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 Uprawr at The Asylum or Subculture at the O2 academy are usually the best. There is also a new club night at a place called Vudu, which is meant to be the new Subculture (because Subs used to be much better when it was at the Carling Academy, and apparantly Vudu is 'the new subs'). Uprawr plays more pop punky stuff, rock covers, a bit of Hip Hop and then a few of the more mainstream rock songs. Subculture is more metal, rock and indie (or at least it was when I last went!) Qwpzxjor1, do you go Uprawr much?
Qwpzxjor1 Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 Never been. A friend of mine works there but I've not lived in Birmingham all that long and just haven't been able to get along there yet. Heard excellent things though. Isn't there another new one they've been advertising on Kerrang? Nightingale Club is it? Anyone been to that, know if it's worth a look?
jadenb42 Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 Vudu is class, first 2 levels good music top level is dubstep stay clear Also you have Subside which stays open to 6am, but obz place is scruffy Murphy's, Black Horse is ok when people are in there. Eddies is ok too
stuart_75 Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 Isn't there another new one they've been advertising on Kerrang? Nightingale Club is it? Anyone been to that, know if it's worth a look? I heard that on Kerrang and thought thats the ghey club. Or is there 2 of them?
Stevo985 Posted September 9, 2011 VT Supporter Posted September 9, 2011 Flapper and Firkin often have rock/metal bands on I think VEry near the NIA too if that's where the UFC is? (or is it at NEC?)
Milfner Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Vudu is shite on a Friday night, literally the worst night out I've ever been to in Birmingham.
sicwhite Posted September 10, 2011 Author Posted September 10, 2011 I had a look at the Uprawr page on facebook and I think I'll be avoiding that place. It looks like it's full of people who think that Attack Attack! are the pinnacle of heavy music. Don't think The Nightingale is my cup of tea either, lol! UFC is at the LG Arena if that makes a difference.
Stevo985 Posted September 10, 2011 VT Supporter Posted September 10, 2011 Ah, the LG is NEC so there's no chance of finding any around there. You'll have to go into Brum centre and then get a bus or train back out to the LG
sicwhite Posted September 10, 2011 Author Posted September 10, 2011 The plan for the Saturday is: airport - hotel - Villa Park - LG Arena - out for a few jars - hotel. Hopefully that shouldn't be too difficult. If you've any advice on the best/quickest way to get from Villa Park to the LG it would be much appreciated. I'm guessing a taxi would make sense although may not be cheap.
ED Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 2 short trains, Aston-New St then New St-International
parisvilla Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 Vudu is shite on a Friday night, literally the worst night out I've ever been to in Birmingham. Agreed, **** dire and full of absolute freaks.
leemond2008 Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 Subside is decent and its open until 6am, not that I barely ever go there any more, i'm too old for it these days
sicwhite Posted September 12, 2011 Author Posted September 12, 2011 Subside looks like the best option so far. Cheers lads!
Rob182 Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 A usual saturday night for Me, used to be.. Subculture until 3, then Subside 3-6, then 6 o'clock stroll over to Maccys for a breakfast, then get the bus home! I haven't done that in a while and cant imagine me doing it anytime soon!!! Qwpzxjor1, who do you know from Uprawr? I'm mates with a lot of them too.

Did the whole subside thing this saturday again, Maccy's breaky taste so better than usual after a night out like this, even got entertained as we was leaving by a fight breaking out!
