Rosies - Birmingham

You know that feeling when you're three drinks deep and someone suggests heading to Broad Street? Usually it fills you with dread, but Rosies is the exception that proves the rule. This isn't your typical cattle-market nightclub – the music actually matters here, with DJs who understand that banging house and proper dance classics will always trump chart fodder. The crowd skews older than your average student haunt, which means less spilled drinks and more people who've come to properly dance rather than pose for Instagram. The sound system hits hard without destroying your eardrums, and the layout means you can actually move without being sandwiched between a stag do and someone's 21st. When everywhere else on Broad Street feels like a conveyor belt of mediocrity, Rosies reminds you why you bothered coming out in the first place.
