Want somewhere lively to go out, been to Birmingham twice but found it quite crap? So any other suggestions or its gonna be Brum!

Where'd you go in Brum? There are a lot of crap places, but there are some nice ones too. Steer clear of Broad Street!

Sounds like you went to Oceana or The Works/Gatecrasher
Go to Brindley Place, then go to Mechu after - a bit grubby but they only let white people in

There's a Novotel and Travel Lodge on Broad Street. There's also a Holiday Inn on Paradise Circus.

Depends what floats your boat, the fact it's got a massive liquid doesn't really sell it to me. The fact it's full of scummy welsh people is also a bit of a turn off for me.
