What makes The Nightingale Club special
The Nightingale is spread over several floors with different music, from pop on the dance floor to quieter bar areas and cabaret. On Pride weekend the club is the centre of the celebrations. More recent reviews are mixed: criticism includes the state of the rooms and the behaviour of security, and some nights it’s empty. It’s busiest at the weekend.
A good fit if you …
- are looking for a big club with several floors
- are in town for Birmingham Pride
Not ideal if you …
- expect a small, well-kept club
