Birmingham Hookup Spots

birmingham01

When people visit Birmingham, the number one thing on their "To Do" list is typically visiting Stonehenge. While that is certainly something you should do, you obviously are also interested in seeing the sights of Birmingham's hookup scene. With our help, you'l know exactly where to go, and we predict, will do very well for yourself.

History of the Birmingham Hookup Scene

Birmingham is known across the United Kingdom as one of its most experimental and individualistic cities. Acclaimed urbanist, Jane Jacobs once referred to it as a "great, confused laboratory of ideas." Because of the amount of true individuals in Birmingham, there's also a large number of singles. People are so focused on their ideas, and wanting to make their mark on a larger scale, that they sometimes have a tough time maintaining relationships. Best of luck if you're hoping of your hookups to turn into something more, but it's probably for the best if you keep pure hookup intentions when visiting Birmingham. Relationships of course are maintainable in the city, but the odds tend be stacked against it, based on our experience.

Home to many independent artists, Birmingham has an energy that you can't help but notice during the day, and which transform into an intensity among its club goers, which makes hooking up, one of the city's most unsung attractions. Creatives can sometimes be repressed in their daily life, but when they hit the bedroom, they let loose.

Best Time To Go Out And Days To Go Out

birmingham03

The number of artists and free thinkers in Birmingham means that there's always a large part of the population that's not working a 9 to 5 job, and aren't required to be in a cubicle during the day, so can go out and mingle at bars during the day. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday are still the best times to get out there and enjoy the most eager to hookup singles, and the biggest parties, but you're definitely not limited to only hooking up at night. You might even find yourself hooking up multiple times in a day. We suggest for your second go-round, you hit up a different neighborhood to avoid the potential awkward encounter with your mid-afternoon hookup.

Hare & Hounds

Type
Bar and Event Space
Space
Bar, Stage, and Dance Floor
Crowd
Young Adults
Address
106 High St, Birmingham B14 7JZ, United Kingdom
Website
Any Notes
Cash and cards accepted.
Brief Description
Though Hare & Hounds isn't the coolest hookup bar around, they do have a very enjoyable and fun vibe, and are often hosts to great musical acts like the GZA from the Wu Tang Clan, Mr. Scruff, Roy Ayers, The Jungle Brothers, and Simian Mobile Disco. So if you're looking for a hookup with a bit of an indie flavor, this is your spot. Check the calendar, to see what's going on this week.

The Jekyll and Hyde

Type
Cocktail Bar
Space
Bar, Lounge
Crowd
Young to Mature Adults
Address
28 Steelhouse Ln, City Centre, Birmingham B4 6BJ, United Kingdom
Website
Any Notes
Cash and cards accepted. Over 80 gins available. Offers cocktail classes.
Brief Description
The vibe of The Jekyll and Hyde is almost too cool to see as a hookup bar, but if you've spent any time in the UK hookup scene, you know that fancy cocktail bars are some of its unsung spots. This one has a bit of an old school horror movie vibe, so if you're looking to hookup with some cool gothy horror babes, but aren't into industrial music, consider Jekyll and Hyde. We like your odds of finding a hookup straight out of a Tim Burton movie.

Island Bar

Type
Tiki Bar
Space
Bar and lounge with a little taste of Hawaii
Crowd
Young to Mature Adults
Address
14-16 Suffolk Street Queensway, Birmingham B1 1LT, United Kingdom
Website
Any Notes
Cash and cards accepted. Open 6 days a week (closed on Mondays).
Brief Description
Island Bar is one of the cutest bars in Birmingham, and is as well-designed as any other. With a Hawaiian theme, its cocktail menu is served in adorable tiki glasses, and some of them are even available as part of the bar's happy hour between 8 and 10 on Fridays and Saturdays. Especially for a weekend, you can't beat their happy hour pricing. It's good enough to make you want to get ready early, and do your "pre-drinking" at the bar at their discount prices. If you're going with a group of friends, the bar also offers gigantic communal drinks meant to be shared by 3 to 4 people. We also think that if you find yourself hitting it off with someone, it could be fun to try and make a drink for 4, a drink for 2.

Maggie Mae's Bar

Type
Restaurant, Cocktail Bar, and Live Music Venue
Space
Bar, restaurant, stage, dance floor
Crowd
Young to Mature Adults (leaning more towards mature)
Address
69-71 Preston Street, Brighton, BN1 2HG, United Kingdom
Website
Any Notes
Cash and cards accepted. Open 7 days a week.
Brief Description
Maggie Mae's Bar's slogan is "Bar Bites Beats," which sums the spot up quite nicely. Catering to a clientele of all age groups, Maggie Mae's crowd tends to depend on what's happening in the club that night. For instance, if you go on a night when there's an Abba tribute show happening, you should be looking to hookup with someone who's a little older. Though if a motown dance night is happening, it's more likely to be a group of all ages.

Brief Description
You may have heard of the O2 Arena in Brixton, which is a large arena owned by the same owners of the O2 Institute. Many sporting events and large concerts take place there, but before musicians graduate to play at the O2 Arena, they typically have multiple stops at the O2 Institute. The cool nature of the club means that some of the hottest young singles are always at shows here, making sure they don't miss out on the next big thing. The club also puts on DJ nights which are among the city's best dance parties.

Brief Description
Boltz Club is probably the hottest spot for gay hookups in Birmingham because there's no need to watch a band you don't want to see, dance for hours to a DJ you're not particularly fond of, or even have a conversation with someone you only want to have sex with once and then never see again. All you need to do at Bolt Club is sign up for a free membership with proper ID, to prove you're of age, and then enter a paradise of vinyl couches and bathroom stalls.

Lab 11 is a raver's dream come true. House and techno music is blasted through their powerful sound system on most nights, with the odd live performance mixed in for good measure. Drinks are affordable, and the staff is very friendly, which makes this a terrific hookup spot, or at least a good place to start your night. Check out what's going on at the Lab, and if nobody is catching your eye, move onto another hookup bar or club. Just remember to take off your glow necklace before you get to your next destination.

1 Wrottesley St, Birmingham B5 4RT, United Kingdom

Any Notes
Cash and cards accepted. Open 7 days a week.
Brief Description
If you're looking for some real night club hookups, then we strongly recommend Bambu Bar. It has incredible decor, with draped booths, and a Moroccan garden that is a great spot to take selfies with your friends or potential hookups. The club's dress code is a little fancier than your typical dance club, but you weren't planning on going out without looking your best anyway, were you?

Birmingham Swingers Clubs

Birmingham's swinging scene's a little bit limited, but there's a great spot for you (and potentially your partner) to go and meet other swingers, that we think you're really going to enjoy hooking up at.
