About The Night Owl
The Night Owl is Birmingham's dedicated Northern Soul and Motown club, opened in July 2015 on Lower Trinity Street in the heart of Digbeth (B9 4AG). Named after the Bobby Paris Northern Soul classic, it claims to be the first ever purpose-built Northern Soul and Motown club and remains the Midlands' only bar of its kind. The 250-capacity room is built for dancing, with a sprung wooden dance-floor by Stax Creations, hand-painted paisley murals and a DJ booth running both vinyl turntables and CDJs through a high-quality sound system. Soul-themed nights such as 'Dig It' and 'Soul Train' sit alongside indie, Britpop and rock parties like 'Come Together'. The club opens every Friday and Saturday plus midweek for special events and live shows, welcoming both DJ sets and live performers.
