    They've had the fireplace removed and the place looks huge!!

    I adore loft, always a killer selection of cocktails, loads of which are on 2-4-1 which is always great! Me and my boyfriend had dinner here, the venue has a new head chef so everything has been shaken up, I had the lamb with sweet potato mash and seasonal vegetables... The lamb was soft, succulent absolutely as it should be with lashings of rich gravy and the mash was a,buttery, delicious cloud of perfection. My Boyfriend had the salmon... Naturally I tried that too It was beautiful, soft flaky filet with crispy skin served on a rather odd but very nice medley of peas, kale and pickled onions, I know it sounds odd but really it's worth the try! If you're out for a quick tasty dinner in a casual setting and friendly staff lift is the place for you!

    Here again!! slow service this evening. I can see there is a staff meeting going on but the hot chocolate is delicious. Yet again a calm and chilled atmosphere, great for a quick catch up with an old friend.

    The Loft lounge is a regular place for my friends and I to start a night out on Hurst Street. It's a nice bar to relax in whilst enjoying some food and/ or a drink. The drinks and are pricey and the portions aren't that good because half the drink is filled with Ice and half of the plate is empty! The sell small selection of traditional cocktails such as: Sex on the beach and Cheeky Vimto. With all the drinks they have on show on the bar it would be nice if they had their own home made cocktail; a unique drink that would want to make you go there. They sell typical pub food: burgers, chips and chibatas etc and despite small the portions the food quite tasty but I don't come here specifically for the food. If it's hot in there I like to enjoy my time with their outdoor seating and it's a shame this isn't an available option at night (I'll explain in a bit,) Even though I don't smoke I have to admit they have a nice smoking area as it's spacious and has some pretty plants. I understand it's a lounge but at night it turns into a club with the loud music but there's not much room to dance! The majority of the space is taken up by comfortable sofas and chairs. So you're either standing in the crowd by the bar or standing over people who are sitting down (unless you're sitting.) As you can imagine it can get crowded and a bit awkward so I with the managers would do something about this. In summary experience has taught me that the Loft Lounge is good to start your night out, a nice place to relax during the evening and day time

    This is a great little vibrant bar deep in the gay village…read more I don't want to compare this to Soho and the other (one) lesbian bar/s in London - but the one difference I will point out is the people. Unlike in the London bars, this place is clearly about good friends coming out to have a good time. A great mix of the older and younger lesbian and a very friendly and un-predatory place. We managed to wander in on Karaoke night (score), and there's nothing about really getting a feel for the place when people are warbling bad pop tunes down a microphone. There was a nice enough selection behind the bar and a few drink offers. There's a large beer garden with plenty of seating, a main bar area with a dinky DJ booth and another room with the obligatory pool table and additional seating. Surprisingly, there's only one toilet - and all night I had no problem in going for a tinkle. I wish I could move this bar down south with me, but I can't. And if I ever return to ole bham- I will certainly pop in again.

The Fox does exactly what it says on the tin 'Fun'. They have some fab cocktails, my favourite is 'The Spanish Inquisition', Licor 43 (a gorgeous Spanish liqueur, made from 43 ingredients, fruits, herbs and roots of the med! basically sunshine in a bottle, Appletons Rum, Kwai Feh (lychee liqueur) and apple juice! you can be straight, gay, bi, trans or lesbian to enjoy this bar, so get your self down there for a laugh!

It is…read moresituated a little out of the gay village so I have often been on my way there and got distracted by the many other places on offer. The venue is very deceptive, from the outside it looks like a small pub when infact it is a decent size club venue with a large room at the back for shows and performances. We were treated a very realistic Madonna impersonator complete with outfit changes and backing guitarist. I was surprised with the quality of the act that it was free entry all night, apparently this is the case all the time! Its safe to say a good night was had by all especially Jamie T who really harnessed his inner queen of pop. I will definitely be back to Eden soon i'm just gutted I left it so long before making a visit.

It was a sunny evening so we headed straight outside to the terrace area. When we arrived I was instantly impressed. When we walked in we were greeted by smiles all round and a funky bass line. I'd say it was 50/50 male and female in there which gave the place a great vibe as the other places I've been in the area had a predominantly male crowd. The drinks were reasonably priced; I bought a couple of wines and a couple of shots which came to around £10. I'd definitely go there again. Good atmosphere, nice crowd, funky tunes!

    Sidewalk - This place is awesome to say the least!…read more Sidewalk; in the heart of Birmingham's Hurst street, formerly known as The Angel, is the place to be seen, whether your after fine-dining, drinks and cocktails, coffee and people-watching, or a good night out with music to mingle.... I visited this bar & restaurant today and took my mother there for a slap up lunch, being a landmark Birthday for her, and initially thought I may struggle for options, both being veggies. The service was great, and the place was immaculate, with ceiling to floor windows, luxurious fittings and comfy sofas that you almost fall asleep in. The food isn't too over priced, but you get what you pay for. I tried the Halloumi cheese and salad option with beetroot, whilst my mother had chips, garlic bread and a plethora of a few other things. If you like good food, at a reasonable price in comfortable surroundings, this is the place to be. There are also several alternatives if you like your meat with a good hearty menu. The refurb of Sidewalk has done the place wonders. It also draws a large following on most weeknights, with locals tippling on champagne, wines, cocktails etc. The downstairs bar is fitted out with beautiful velvet seating, and welcoming lights that add an atmosphere of curiosity - the perfect venue for a date! Whether your looking for a place to relax and have a coffee, a nice decent meal or a good evening out, this place will not fail to please. So, what are you waiting for? I loved it, will certainly be going back, and maybe even hire out a booth or two...
