Equator Bar, Birmingham

Small gay bar in former shop unit next to the larger Sidewalk.

This is a terraced contemporary bar, with front patio area. It is housed in a unit of a larger older building, having an upper storey in brick, with a bow window and roundels/ The frontage is in glass, with retracting doors and soume moulded decoration. The interior is a single room, in grey and white i think (gloomy due to 'mood lighting'), with a wood floor. It has sofas and comfy chairs, as well as pouffes and there is a bit of arty art, a few mirrors and the odd vase and a silver head! There TVs were not on and the music was charty, but at a decent level. The service was fine and there was a mixed clientele. Beer; no real ale, no MILD, just basic keg, but was happy to have a shandy. Not my kind of thing, but seems fine for those that like it.
