Broad street on a friday and saturday night is a good night out if there is a few of you and is only a 5 min or so cab ride away.

As said Star City has Cinema,Casino, bowling, crazy golf (i think) arcades etc.

There must be at least 6 strip clubs in the local area if your feeling flush as well.

Landor St was just plain crazy, people went way over the top down there...and eventually the joyriders got involved too lol.

For a night out i'd avoid Broad St in all honesty....although if you wanna get wankered, have a scrap and pull a tart then its not too bad

The mailbox and the Arcadian is usually a bit more chilled out, but still a top night out.

There is a massive nightclub not far from the Arcadian which wasn't too bad last time i was there, but that was a couple of years back.

For food, grab a taxi to Ladypool Rd and go to an Indian Restaurant called 'Dawat'...its awesome! ( Mike Tyson eats there! ) The Grameen Khana next door is nice too but not quite as good.

Loads to do in Brum really, its not too bad.

Its a really good city for a doing stuff. Theres loads to do, fantastic restaurants too.

Avoid Stab city unless you want to go see some bollywood stuff and you're asian

Arcadian is nice early evening.

Depends if you want some chilled out places or manic ones

Avoid broad st at all costs, its a shithole. Brindley Place is ok tho

I work in the city centre, pm me if you need any info

Because they dont show other films or allow people in that aint asian????

Personally- nowt wrong with Star/Stab/Stan City.... A couple of chain eaterys... bowling and a huge fuck off cinema that shows all sorts of films...

The curry house is top notch too, but dont serve beer.

They also have a lazer quest and a rock climbing wall as well as indoor football and indoor crazy golf.

I have never ever had any grief there what so ever whether it be personally or towards my cars.

Hams hall is a no go zone now mate, police have an injuction or something so can take your car off you just for being there.
Not seen anyone there for 3weeks now or A38 or Bassetts pole.

Funny you say that, I've seen a shit load of proper cars cruising around near where I live lately... (which is very close to Hams Hall).. maybe they're getting moved on or dont have anywhere to go anymore.
