The 90s was a transformative decade for the UK, and it was a time when Birmingham's nightlife was thriving.
Broad Street went from a neglected area to party central with all its bars, restaurants and clubs, and like today, there were plenty of brilliant restaurants located around the city centre for people to try.
Bingley Hall had been Britain’s first purpose-built exhibition centre in 1850 but it burned down in 1984. In its place in 1991 came the magnificent Symphony Hall and International Convention Centre.
Bill Clinton, along with the world's leaders, also came to town for the G8 summit there in May 1998. It was also a decade that featured the emergence of grunge music, Britpop, and New Labour. Dance music was also beginning to become very popular, which was reflected in some of the city's top nightclubs.
We've taken a look back at some of Birmingham's top nightclubs of the 90s.
1. Bobby Browns nightclub on Gas Street in the 1990s
Popular among party-goers in the 80s and 90s, Bobby Browns was also popular with the stars, including George Best and Mick Hucknall. The venue has recently reopened as the Verve Lounge offering a stylish place to enjoy cocktails away from the bustle of Broad Street. | BirminghamWorld
2. The Garryowen nightclub, Small Heath
This used to be a 24-hour open venue that was shut down. It started just after World War II and in the 1960s many Brummie bands performed here. It was important to the Irish community in Small Heath. | google

Liberty’s was another popular venue in the 1990s in Birmingham. You’d certainly be Vogueing, or doing the Macarena at Liberty’s on Hagley Road or Bobby Brown’s on Gas Street | Roz Laws
