About The Night Owl

This is the background on The Night Owl, from the venue and its listings. It books soul / motown, indie and dj / electronic acts.

The Night Owl is a grassroots music venue in Deritend, Birmingham with a standing capacity of about 250. It books Soul / Motown, Indie, DJ / Electronic.

Listing notes

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.

Capacity 250 standing A listed figure, not yet verified - check it with the venue before you book.

By size, The Night Owl is the joint 13th largest of the 36 venues we list in and around Birmingham with a standing capacity. Similar-size rooms: Stoke Prior Sports And Country Club (about 250); The Bradshaw Hall Royal Birmingham Conservatoire (about 250) and The Rhodehouse (about 250).

With room for about 250 standing, The Night Owl is a medium room by our directory's sizes. The typical Birmingham room we list holds about 200, so this one is on the larger side. Mid-size rooms usually want proof you can draw - a local headline show or a support slot on a touring bill is the common way in, and promoters run many of the nights. The figure is listed, not yet verified, so check it with the venue before you plan around it.
