  Great place for variety and music selection. Bar is downstairs, acoustics are great. Price of beer is a little high but that's music venues in central Birmingham.

  Nice smallish venue for a gig, however closing the bar halfway through a gig? Seems a bit strange

  The first of the monumental town halls that would come to characterise the cities of Victorian England, Birmingham Town Hall was also the first significant work of the 19th-century revival of Roman architecture, a style chosen here in the context of the highly charged radicalism of 1830s Birmingham for its republican associations. The design was based on the proportions of the Temple of Castor and Pollux in the Roman Forum. "Perfect and aloof" on a tall, rusticated podium, it marked an entirely new concept in English architecture. It was created as a home for the Birmingham Triennial Music Festival established in 1784, the purpose of which was to raise funds for the General Hospital, after St Philip's Church (later to become a Cathedral) became too small to hold the festival, and for public meetings. The hall underwent a major renovation between 2002 and 2008. It now hosts a diverse programme of events including jazz, world, folk, rock, pop and classical concerts, organ recitals, spoken word, dance, family, educational and community performances, as well as annual general meetings, product launches, conferences, dinners, fashion shows, graduation ceremonies and broadcasts.

  A great venue. Went here for a Sufi Music concert, very good sound acoustics although the sound guy could have increased the treble a little. It is not very big, when compared to for example the Barclaycard Arena- but that is a good point because it means even if you buy a tickets quite far back you can still see the stage.

  One of Brum's historic gems. I'm a Tour Guide for the nearby Back to Backs, so it was great to be experience a tour of this wonderful building. Two hours of fascinating facts. 35 million quid well spent on the recent refurbishment.
