Birdcage

A curious nightclub renowned for its Cabaret shows featuring drag queens, showgirls and male dancers. This is a spectacle not to be missed.

Why is it hot? The club's name is up in lights so dazzling and posters in the windows so enticing that you won't want to be left out in the cold. Join the back of the queue as it's bound to be a long wait. Go on Saturday nights where your evening is complete with a Cabaret act that can only be described as a unique experience. This hilarious affair has entertained celebs from footballers to Soap stars, transporting you to Vegas with such burst of energy that makes you eager to sing along. Book one of the booths to get closer to the action, or shimmy to the VIP area which has views over the entire venue.

What to wear? No matter how much glitz you adorn yourself with nor how much flesh you bare, the men in drag will beat you in the glamour stakes every time. Leave the feather boas to the ‘ladies'.  But do add some sparkle to your outfit and accessorize to the nines.

Worst Part? On a show night the entry fee is pricy at £10, making this night a one-off treat rather than a hangout to frequent.

Regular nights? ‘Rehab' was so in demand that they've extended it to continue every Wednesday night throughout the year.  But be warned this night is really addictive.  Injection shots of alcohol are administered into your mouth by the ‘doctors' and ‘nurses' who insist that this ‘medication' is a necessity. Entry for ‘Rehab' is a cheap fix at only £5.
