Clubbers guide to The Arcadian

Chinatown, which runs along bustling Hurst Street adjacent to The Arcadian, is home to some of Birmingham's clubbing elite and is now considered by many as the city's main nightlife district.

The uber-cool Hidden, if you can find it, is a small but busy funky house club with two bars, while just around the corner, the Moroccan-themed Bambu, a regular home to Hed Kandi, packs in a style-savvy Saturday night crowd.

A little allyway links Hurst Street to The Arcadian, a vast, courtyard-style complex packed with stylish bars for twenty to fourty-somethings, with plenty of space to strut your stuff - SoBar, Arca, Loaf and 52 Degrees North are favourite spots.
