Reflex - Birmingham

You know that feeling when a song from 1994 comes on and suddenly you're 16 again? Reflex captures that without being annoying about it. Broad Street's got no shortage of nights out, but this one leans into proper retro vibes—think neon, think the tunes that actually got people dancing, think a crowd that's here to have a laugh rather than look moody in the corner. The drinks are reasonably priced for the city centre, the dancefloor gets properly rammed once things kick off, and there's something genuinely fun about a room full of people who've collectively decided that early 2000s pop is an acceptable soundtrack to a Friday night.
