Nightingale Club

Surprisingly nice inside from my experience as someone who isn't a regular patron

Had a great night out here on Saturday, the rnb room was great until a fight happened, but security dealt with it great and we was able to still enjoy our night

Excellent staff as always management always on point and club is as good always can’t fault the the staff at all x

Thursday was great vibes it was nice to be treated great in a LGBTQ+ space by everyone who works there. I like the short security guard, he had great banter searching and having a laugh with everyone all in all a brilliant night

Club should be investigated and shut down. Absolutely disgraceful security, idk why a gay club feels like they can hire some so obviously very judgemental homophobic security staff. Apparently was to drunk to go in, had only had a couple drinks and literally was trying to find my wallet to get the ID out, everyone else had gotten in, made me walk around the block with a friend that came back out after seeing and disputing the obvious that just because trying to find a wallet doesn't mean you're too drunk. When in, we were talking together about how incapable the security are and how disrespectful they are and then a security came up in our faces confronting us being even more disrespectful trying to kick us out, spoke to manager after but obviously she didn't care and just pretended to understand. Then, my bf who I was dancing with was told by the bouncers, he's dancing too much, it's a club like that's the point... I talked to the security and they just became violent and verbally abusive not letting me speak to a manager without them standing in between changing the story. Was injured in the process, cut arm and sprained ankle. Don't bother going to this club, the big "homophobia is gay" sign on the wall is so ironic when it is probably the most homophobic judgemental club in Birmingham, better off just going to broad street.

Welcoming, friendly and inclusive

DISCRIMINATORY SECURITY we just had EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING experience at gales. our friend who is lawful resident with a valid visa, was denied entry solely based on the fact that security guard refused to accept his visa as a form of identification. when we sought clarification from the management, her response was equally unsatisfactory. the manager insisted that only a passport or provisional licence would be accepted as a valid identification, contradicting any sensible policy. the whole situation was just arbitrary decision making process that lacked transparency and seemed to be fueled by prejudice rather than following established guidelines. we were shocked to see such blatant discrimination. my review, and as i can see many others, are indicative of a systemic issue within the security in this venue. i strongly urge the management to reevaluate their security, as instead of treating the clientele fairly and respectfully, they are abusing their power. that being said, we will not be returning to gales anymore and will share our negative experience with friends and colleagues to caution them against your lack of fairness and inclusivity

Wouldn’t let someone in when they had nothing to drink on new years and claimed that they were “too intoxicated to come in”. They had barely drunk all night and still weren’t allowed in. Wouldn’t recommend rude staff

Fire exits blocked. Smoke machine on overload, edge of drop not marked. Guy sparked out, as a first aider approach and nothing but abuse
