XOYO Birmingham

Had a great time here on a 70s disco afternoon event, started at 4pm to 8pm, so perfect. Drinks are limited from an ale and beer perspective hense the 4 stars. The venue is what you'd expect. With some good outside space. The DJ was really good and played some brilliant 70s bangers however only 1 chic song which was disappointing. The prices and fairly standard for this type of venue in the city centre. The dancers were also pretty good. As it was a 70s event the music suited our group, over 40s. All in all a great time.

Reposting due to my original post being hidden. Absolutely horrendous, security physically assault anyone they can, made my friend bleed and refused to get management or give security license numbers when requested - all over us doing nothing!!! My friend sat on the side of the stage (like many others were) and rather than being asked politely to get down, security all jumped my friends and got multiple of them in head locks and chucked them out of the back door - NEVER go here !!! (When waiting outside to get our jackets etc, which they refused to let us get, we saw person after person come out saying that they had been kicked out unprovoked by security). CAMERON - HEAD OF SECURITY is the one who started the aggressiveness and got my friend in a headlock. Also, for reference the man with the hat on in the photos attached tried to offer my partner out down a back alley and started on an innocent girl (not me) getting in her face and staring her down - very scary experience and security should be losing their jobs

The venue itself would probably have been nice but because it was so uncomfortably hot with no fans, it was intolerable. Its appearance is nice to be honest but drinks are very expensive in my opinion. The real let down was the promoters of the event (rooftop takeover) that I attended because while they seemed to be upholding the rules of the premises to a strict standard, it because apparent as the night went on that actually favourites were able to get away with anything!!! Hugely disappointing and if the choice is my own, I have no intention of returning to be ridiculed in such a manner. Bar staff were actually pleasant as were the security to a degree but still 1 star due to promoter and his staff who did/did not implement rules fairly.

Went here to see High Vis and really enjoyed the venue. The sound and lighting were excellent. Only downside was that they ran out of tap beers.

Went here for a drum and bass event tonight and for some reason the security there especially the 6ft 1 tall balled guy who’s a juiced up turkey who apparently says it’s "his club" in which case is a lie absolutely body a group of people just to feed his ego and get his little bit of adrenaline was straight up bang out of order and not needed. He could definitely do with some communication training or re go over his security training where it teaches you to de escalate situations. Ironic really. Guard with one eye was really nice and I could understand where he was coming from as he was just the fella at the gate. The fella in the picture also was abusing his powers but he just avoids communicating and stays by the door.

Always read reviews before making plans to go anywhere. The low stars have all been the most honest reviews with XOYO Birmingham. Go at your own risk. Highly dangerous place, the crowd management, the staff, the food, the drinks, and the costs don't align. They falsely advertise the events with skyline views and spacious areas, only to keep sealing off sections until the crowds are packed into a small section of the venue. The fact that they have not been permanently down already is very surprising. If you're looking for a good time, this is not the place. Avoid it if you value your time, money, dignity, mental and emotional health.

Went here for the Elder Emo Summer Party event. Security was very good however when we got to the venue there was not alot of space for people to dance or stand. Being that it was catered for an elder crowd, there should have been more seating areas. And the only other thing was there was not much of a drink selection, considering we spent £17 on 3 drinks which were all cans. Overall, decent music and security but let down by the lack of space and drinks.
