The Fountain Inn

One of the few places in Birmingham's Gay Village where you can also spend the night, with rooms above a bar that splits into three distinct zones: a front bar, a pool lounge, and a men-only cruise area at the back. The weekly rhythm is well-established: free pool on Wednesdays, a DJ on Fridays, and bad karaoke with cheeseboards on Sundays. There is also a garden with a covered smoking area.
