Missing Bar

Please bare in mind that my review is in reflection of my visit during Birmingham Pride 2026. I absolutely enjoyed my visit to Missing Bar. The atmosphere inside and out was electric! My boyfried and I saw many a cabaret performance at the bar during our visit, every act was hysterical, had a fantastic presence and had the crowd getting involved. The bar staff were polite, efficient and may I add a diverse bunch of people (which is nice to see that they're emoloyed on their skillset and not the usual trope of barstaff have to look a certain way). I did not use the toilet facilities during my visit. I was unable to confirm if they do food or not. The guest WIFI was amazing and the aircon was a lifesaver in the heat.

Popped for a few drinks after Chinatown New year festival. Good section of on tap and alcohol free items. Really friendly bar staff who were happy to give my partner access to the accessible loo (they hold a key behind the bar). Good atmosphere/ vibe, regulars seems nice and the outdoor seating would be a great sunning spot in good weather.

One of Birmingham's oldest gay bars, I attended a private event in the room above the pub one evening, but sat in the bar downstairs for a while as I arrived really early for the event. All the bar staff were really friendly, partly because I was game to try a double smokey bacon and horseradish gin n tonic which caused some hilarity:) it wasnt dire, but I only had one! Just had to be tried when I saw it!
