No wet room

It's a nice sleazy club. Lots of action. Drinks are a little expensive as is the entrance fee on a sat night, but there is little else that offers these facilities.

Price goes up and staff are very rude.

Been here many times and i have never had a problem with the staff, but i went with a friend once , and one of the staff was very rude to him, for no reason whatsoever. I can only guess he didn't like the look of him . Also when i first started going it was a £1 entrance fee, then it crept up yo £2 ,then £3. I was going to go today until I saw it is now £5. I will not be going today or ever again, it's just not worth it. If people keep on paying it , they will keep on increasing the price, my advise would be to stay away.

Look, it's not bad.

Visited in on Saturday at around 8:30pm. There were already quite a lot of guys but not much cruising action going on. Value - 5/5 - The entrance is free although you are required to buy at least one drink - which is reasonable. The drinks are priced reasonably too - double whisky and coke - around £5-6 (can't remember exactly). In terms of the facilities, you have got everything you need - nice spacious gloryhole cabins, a relatively dark darkroom, this weird set of rooms (slave, worship etc), a cinema (?)- could be darker though, an open space for etc, etc. The staff were amazing - super polite, chatty and handsome. The place was relatively clean - definitely 5/5 for a cruise club. The only issue, personally, was the age of the crowd. As a young man, I was definitely one of the youngest - with the average age - varying throughout the evening - between 30 - 45. I did spot a few hot guys. Overall, really nice and will be back :)

Reliable, fun and welcoming

Have been coming here for probably about 5 or 6 years on and off - it's a decent place for drinking, cruising and playing. Like everywhere there's an element of hit and miss on the hookup front - but I've definitely had more nights enjoying myself here than nights where I've had no action! What I particularly like is it's generally got a good atmosphere. It seems to attract a good mix of ages and types so no worries about not being welcome. I can't recall ever getting hassle or aggro from other punters and I've even struck up a few conversations in the bar when taking a break from the cruising. Bar prices are good and the service is speedy and friendly. Plus free entry until early evening is a bonus. I believe they have to operate a membership scheme because of the council's licensing requirements - but signup is quick, free and easy so don't let that put you off even if you're only on a one-off visit.

Avoid!

Been going here for years. There was a particular night where I was asked if I was a member and asked to show ID. I don't have ID and they said you need to be a member to go in there. I have been going here for years, never had a problem. I explained that I've been going there for years, and I was even with a friend who I've been there with several times. I wouldn't recommend a place where, if anonymity/discretion is required, you need to show ID because that removes the whole point of this type of bar.

Best gay club in Birmingham

This is a club for men who like men, its a big place compared to other bars/ clubs and its filled with dark colours and you can relax and chill or go and play. Leather, rubber, skin gear, pups, gas masks you can wear what you want unless its a themed night. If you have a thing for certain clothes/gear or men in gear or are interested in say BDSM or anything along those lines I would check out Boltz, you'll be glad you did.

EU not welcome

Arrived here and refused entry because we had National identity cards. Website clearly said these are acceptable. Staff on the door didn t know or care what the website says. Said they would check with manager who conveniently wasn't on site. So if you looking for some overseas boys you won't find them here. Poor knowledge and attitude for young guys from Poland.

Fantastic, best fun ever in the darkroom. Good glory holes with keen participants. Only trouble you can never tell who's gonna show up to the party. Not mad on the newer layout. Miss the old darkroom. It can get a bit grotty late on, but the staff generally try to keep the place tidy, Lots of lube and free condoms. Wish the Bullring was open more often. Good bar, cheap booze, good staff, be polite. No need for bitchiness, the staff are there to serve, not to be abused.

Avoid this place

Quite dirty, need cleaning, disgusting toilets and rude staff. I have been reproached for do not say thanks when they gave me my clothes back in the dare2bare party. They should have said thanks to me for spent my money in a place like this. Not recommended AT ALL specially if you are from abroad.

Well he obviously didn't book up. ALL of the above is untrue except for the state of the floor downstairs which starts off clean but by 10pm is very soiled with spilled drinks and diet off client's shoes. I go twice a week midweek at tea time and at that time it is clean. It's Free to enter before 2030 and membership is free. Drinks are very cheap compared to other local bars, pubs and especially clubs. Lots of interesting people of all ages and backgrounds and the staff are always polite and friendly towards me. But then I am polite and friendly towards them. It pays to be nice not bitchy.
