Venue guide

About the venue

The Fox is a small LGBTQ+ pub on Lower Essex Street in Birmingham’s Gay Village. Compared with the larger clubs nearby, it has a more compact and traditional bar feel, making it a useful option for people who want conversation and drinks without immediately moving into a full club environment.

The venue has a long association with Birmingham’s queer community and remains part of the dense cluster of LGBTQ+ spaces around Hurst Street. Its size gives it a different atmosphere from venues such as Nightingale, and it can work well as an early-evening stop or a quieter alternative during a busy weekend.

As with any community venue, individual events and the makeup of the crowd can change from night to night, but The Fox remains a distinctive part of Birmingham’s Gay Village.
