Built in 1913. Home of the Birmingham Stage Company, puts on both professional and amateur productions.

Old Rep Theatre

Edwardian theatre showing pre- and post-West End plays and musicals.

Alexandra Theatre

One of the best, but also one of the most pretentious clubs in Birmingham. It's not cheap but is still the place to be seen. The dress code here is very hard to define, they want "cool".

Bambu

The Chinese Restaurant in Birmingham, established since 1981. Opposite Arcadian Centre.

Chung Ying Cantonese Restaurant

Comics, graphic novels, manga and the usual alternative oddities. Ideal if you want to catch up on your favourite series while on the road.
