birmingham01

Birmingham may be the last place you think of when you think of fun UK cities to visit. However, we hope that this listing changes your mind. That is because there are actually a lot of great hookup bars and clubs in this awesome city! And we'll be honest with you: there were way more than we thought before we visited the first time too. But now we have seen the light and know the truth about Birmingham! We hope you have the opportunity to visit them all. It may take multiple visits, but it will be so worth it.

History of Hookup Scene in Birmingham

Birmingham is known as one of the industrial capitals of the UK. Many factories and companies got there start in Birmingham. During the rise of the Industrial Revolution, Birmingham became one of the fastest growing cities. It was during this time that bars and clubs began opening across the city. After all, the factory workers needed a way to unwind after a long day at work! The scene only kept growing as the city of Birmingham kept growing. More and more people moved to the city for a new life and factory jobs so more and more bars and clubs kept opening. Now Birmingham now has the most swinger's clubs of any city in the UK. Surprising, but true!

Best Times And Days To Go Out In Birmingham

birmingham03

Birmingham, like most traditional UK cities, tends to be a little quiet during the week. You can definitely still hit up clubs and bars on weekdays but they are most busy on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. So busy, in fact, there tend to be lines. But they are all worth the wait, we promise!

If you're looking for a different sort of bar experience, we highly recommend Island Bar, which is one of the best tiki bars in Birmingham! Okay, it may also be one of the ONLY tiki bars in Birmingham, but that doesn't mean it isn't good. We love hitting up Island Bar in the summer but we love it even more in the winter, when we need a temporary tropical get away to make us forget about how cold and gloomy it is outside! No trip to Island Bar is complete without sampling some of their tropical mixed drinks. We love the tiki punch—it packs a wallop!

Bacchus is known for it's extensive beer menu but they also do pretty good mixed drinks if that's what you're into!

For a slightly more upscale bar experience, there isn't anything better than Aluna!

However, it's totally worth it because isn't it fun to dress up every once in a while? Aluna tends to attract more singles than couples, making it the perfect hookup spot. Hang out at the bar at Aluna and you'll be sure to pick up someone fairly quick!

Bambu Bar may seem unassuming from the outside, but it's actually a rockin' good time on the inside. We love secret little clubs like this! Although, I guess after writing this it won't be much of a secret anymore. Oh well—nightclubs like this deserve to be shared! Bambu Bar plays your typical dance and house music but on the weekends they tend to bring in really unique and up and coming DJs. Music fans tend to flock to Bambu Bar for this very reason. That combined with reasonable drink prices and you can see why it's such a great hookup club!

The Tunnel Nightclub is one of the older nightclubs in Birmingham. It's also gone through a lot of ownership and name changes in it's time but despite all of this, one thing always stays the same: the relaxed, low-key vibe and dirt-cheap drink prices. The Tunnel Club isn't the place to go if you're looking to impress someone. However, if you're wanting to have a night of drinking without having to dress up too fancy or spend a lot of money, The Tunnel Club is the place for you! A lot of locals tend to hang out here so if you're a tourist it can be a great spot to get to know some local gals or guys.

Basically the perfect sort of party, if you ask us.
