    Broad Street - Epic for a night out on the toon. Walk away from ANY trouble as the Police take no prisoners on the nights.
    Brindley Place - Just off Broad St, nice chilled out bars & pubs with some real nice eateries etc.

    Plenty of casinos dotted through out the city too. Bullring shopping centre (about qaurter size of the Metro Centre) can walk around there for ages, and get Lucky Charms breakfast cereal from the food hall (ground of floor Selfridges).

    On the outskirts of Birmingham theres a fair bit to do....

    Lambo & Bentley dealership at Fort Dunlop if your into real cars. Star City (or stab city as its known) is ok during the day for mincing about for food, bowling, cinema yadda yadda.

    its not that bad actually, but its just known locally as stab city.

    I was there weekend just gone, spot of light lunch in the Harverster with Mrs Mike. It IS a hotspot for top end car thefts though search "star city" on MLR for the LOLz & truth.

    Where abouts are you staying as Star City is a fair bit out the city centre like.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england...ngham-19676990

    I had to get train from Dundee @ 4 and I'm still on train now, will arrive in brum @ 11

    So much for 4:45pm flight and 6:15pm landing
