Floodgate Street on Lonely Planet (Again)

It's official Birmingham, Floodgate Street in Digbeth is amazing! But that will not be news to those already in the know.

We have everything at everyturn, colours, lights, community, culture, art, graffiti, soul & craft. Digbeth really screams independance, from shops, bars, cafes, barbers and everything inbetween. 

If you have not been to Digbeth, make sure you get it on your staycation list. 

Digbeth

Best for nightlife and street art

Set underneath hulking coal-grey railway arches, Digbeth’s industrial-chic seems almost tailor-made to show off Birmingham’s exceptional street art and was even featured in Stephen Speilberg’s Ready Player One. Just a short walk from the city center, the striking graffiti and shimmering criss-cross fairy lights of Floodgate Street make Digbeth the most distinct of Birmingham’s neighborhoods. 

The Custard Factory’s independent shops, cafes, and bars attract throngs of weekend revelers throughout the day, but it’s in the evening when Digbeth truly comes alive. From crazy games like Bleachers Baseball, Curl Club & PitPat Table Golf at The Floodgate, rare Belgian beers at Roberto’s Bar and Tasting Club to neon cocktails at Birdie’s, there’s an array of choices in a conveniently compact area. 

Dance the night away to beats under the arches at Mama Roux’s, while DJs at the Night Owl spin everything from funk and reggae to soul and indie. And if that wasn’t enough, you can dance and play games like ten-pin bowling and basketball at Roxy Ball Room.
