Gatecrasher or GB (Gatecrasher Birmingham) as it's already becoming known, is situated on the site of former club The Works.

It sits towards the Five Ways end of Broad Street and it’s hard to miss with extravagant lighting and a glass greenhouse-like main entrance. As you enter there are bizarre egg shaped ticket booths, perhaps design for design's sake but different anyhow. Then a swift ascent to the reception bar, a multi coloured tunnel to the right and main room to the left. The main room is spectacular, a minimalist, warehouse inspired colour fest. It has touches of art deco, post modernism and Sixties' inspired plainness yet still maintains a feel of freshness and an underlying disco/club persona.

Anyone can visit Gatecrasher, once a dance/trance exclusive brand they now offer a multi-taste venue featuring numerous rooms offering different styles of music.

This means the clientele is varied to say the least and it makes a refreshing change: house, trance, RnB, disco and pop fans are all present and the club attracts a wide range of ages too. There are also plenty of seating and chill out areas for people wanting a less hectic night. This club is more of an experience than a simple night out, music and performance complement each other perfectly to give an awesome entertainment event each and every time you attend.The different rooms allow Gatecrasher Birmingham to offer a vast choice of music. The spectrum spans dance, trance, chart, RnB, classic pop and the all-important anthems but it's only the cream that makes the cut.

On offer for the week Monday and Wednesday student nights (cheesy pop, chart etc as you'd expect), Fridays take a more indie rock approach (with alternatives in other rooms) and Saturday is the flagship night with music for everyone spanning RnB, soul, house, disco, rock, pop and classic club anthems. The options are fantastic with no single genre given too much attention.

When it comes to refreshment after all that dancing, Gatecrasher Birmingham once again ticks all the boxes: wine, spirits, beer and cider all on offer with many variations of each. Prices are reasonable for a club. On Saturday night expect to pay £3.30-£3.60 for bottles of lager, £2.80 for spirits and £14 for a bottle of wine. Student nights are piled high with offers to make that student loan stetch further including £2 for vodka and energy drink, £2 on selected bottles of vK and £1.50 on selected bottles of beer.

Gatecrasher Birmingham has invested in Birmingham nightlife and there's no doubt that it will remain the best club in Birmingham for many years to come.
