As entertainment goes in the United Kingdom, Birmingham certainly ranks as one of the best cities for it and attracts millions of Brits and tourists alike every year. The “second city” in England has a vast array of daytime and night-time options to keep locals and visitors to the city busy, but when it comes to nightlife, Birmingham offers one of the most vibrant experiences in the country. From pubs to themed bars, clubs, and casinos, Birmingham possesses the variety to cater for all interests and desires.
Casino craze
One of the more underrated and less obvious ways to spend a night in Birmingham is to hit one of the many casinos on offer in the city. Following a lengthy period of closure during the recent pandemic, the casino craze has been revitalised due to the emergence of online casino play that is sweeping the world. Daily new online casinos are giving casino enthusiasts new options, games, and bonuses to take advantage of, and the popularity of online casino play has had a knock-on effect on physical establishments.
While many fans of blackjack, roulette, slots, and poker were chomping at the bit to reexperience the thrill provided by the sights and sounds of a casino after being deprived of the opportunity for so long, the plethora of online casino offerings have paved the way for a new wave of casino interest. With added convenience, portability and accessibility, new players are coming across and discovering the excitement of casino play.
The Grosvenor, Genting, Rainbow Casinos as well as Resorts World Casino offer all the glitz and glamour associated with casino play and with top restaurants and classy bars providing relief from the casino floor, these casinos provide a complete experience beyond the blackjack, roulette tables and slot machines.
Football under the lights
The atmosphere in casinos is electric, but it is nothing compared to that made in a sold-out football stadium. There are a number of teams that ply their trade in Birmingham, which offers more opportunity to take in live football under the floodlights. With the stadiums of Aston Villa, West Bromwich Albion, Birmingham City, and Walsall all located in and around the city centre, there is a good chance of catching one of the teams in evening action.
The city of Birmingham and neighbouring cities currently have representatives in each of the top four leagues in English football, with Aston Villa also going well in their first ever Champions League campaign since the competition was rebranded. West Bromwich Albion are in the Championship play-off mix, while Birmingham City and Walsall have created comfortable leads at the top of their respective divisions. It looks set to be a very successful season for clubs in Birmingham.
Dance the night away
When the night ticks into the latter hours, the urge to dance rises and a night out in Birmingham provides ample opportunity to put on those dancing shoes and take to the dancefloor. Popworld, Reflex, and Rosies and their Rubik’s Cube dancefloors serve up the finest pop songs ever to have been released, while Tunnel Club offers a wider variety of music with different events taking place each week to satisfy drum and bass and techno fans.
And if the mood to move the feet does not hit, there are other alternative lower key options. Since the first Flight Club was opened in Shoreditch, London in 2015, the darts bar has spread its influence all over the country. Right at the heart of Birmingham on Temple Street, the chance to enjoy a few drinks and throw some arrows (safely) is open to all. Whether you are a first-timer or a seasoned expert, the wide variety of games provided by a darts board and a set of darts is a known recipe for healthy competition with many laughs.
