Oceana Nightclub, Birmingham

Im 16 but I wanna go there :( lol

A large nightclub, great music, staff can be okay, depends really, as sometimes they can be really snotty others they are fab.
the queues can be horrendous so i advise pre-buying tickets, less queues.
has a variety of music, suits everyone, though you will mainly find students in here.Drinks are fairly priced, tho getting served can be a pain.
but overall a fab night deffo try it out.

Birmingham Ocean is the same as every other oceana. The layout is slightly different but the rooms areall the same. the music tends to be poor, and the people you get in there aren’t always great. sometimes they have people dancing or performing in there which is good but other than that you have to be with a great bunch of people to make it a good night. Now it has Vodbull nights it is probably better but still there are better places to go on any night of the week.

Oceana is a great place, one of my favourite clubs in Birmingham. There are many different themed bars which are all different and and fun, there are also 2 main club areas with dancefloors, the 80s bar is my favorite as it has a light up dancefloor.

You may well have to queue up for a while to get in, and entry prices can be as high as 10 pounds, but with so many different bars its good value and its difficult to run out of things to do.

Most of the people in there are pretty cool so there’s never a lot of trouble. It can be difficult to get a taxi from outside as this area gets really busy at weekends, and sometimes a taxi from outside can be a rip off.

Wow, what can I say. Now i’ve got your attention.
Went to see Trever Nelson and the website advertised it for £12, a bit much but I was prepared to pay it.

The doors didn’t open on time, everyone was waiting in the cold for ages, at least half an hour.

Got to the entrance, cashier said £20! She said website was advance, it did not say anything about advance prices, just a price. Even had the webpage on my phone at the time, but didn’t happen, lost out on a bit of money there.

Security checks lasted another 15minutes, almost an hour to get in.

Got to the bar, first one was friendly, then bouncers wanted everyone out, probably so they can get everyone in the room ready for trever nelson, that wasn’t appreciated.

It started, it was fun, had a laugh bish bosh, went to one of the main bars, waited 20 mins, female bar staff served everyone around me, ignored me, some of her friends arrived, gave them free drinks, served someone else, then finally me, I wasn’t amused, some random guy bought me a drink cause he saw me pissed off. Cheers!

the 3 of us that went were about to go, so I said i’d get the jackets went them while my mates were carrying on dancing until it finishes. I got the jackets then the door”persons” told me I couldnt go back in!

I paid £20 for this and yet I wasn’t allowed to see the whole set cause I had couple of jackets in my hand. They have a stupid policy of once your there, you have to get out, it was barely a meter away from the next room!

Effin stupid!

This was on boxing day, what a waste.

nice club fab nights out

love it!!!!! absolutley brilliant my fave club ever

Amazinggg! Without a doubt my favourite club in Brum. Its huge! Its got 4 bars with different themes, which are all quirky and fun, and then the main dance rooms are individually themed and you can see attention to detail was important, as in the 80’s rooom they have a multi coloured tiled floor!
Prices and queues are awesome before 11pm, on a Friday before 11pm all drinks are just 1.50!
Only downside is the bouncers, who don’t like you standing anywhere! Minus them, this place is too cool to miss!

Last night I went on the Carnage Bar Crawl. Oceana was the final destination. If you wear the carnage t-shirt you get in for free, and the que moved pretty quickly so that was all fine. Either I was really drunk or the place is a bit of a maze.

There were quite a few rooms with different styles of music playing in each. I liked how there were quite a few seated areas dotted around.
Drinks were average prices.
It was okay but I wouldnt rush back.

Oceana gets a lot of bad word of mouth said about it but each and every time I go I have a fantastic time. If you’re going ti be negative about it then stop going!

Plenty of different style areas to sit, drink and chat and then 2 rooms to dance to. The Ice room with the current music variety and then the 60s,70s,80s,90s etc in the disco room.

Best night = when the topless promotion guys walk around selling shots, they are goooorgeous :)

Really not a big fan of Oceana after one night for my friends birthday we spent about 8 hours in there. It is impossible to find your friends as the club is so big and any standing around in the corridor will instantly mean that security start to push you along. It is a clean place but the crowd is very sleaze - on none student nights its definitely a no go for me. I have heard the security can be very heavy handed and there was some controversy recently of people been kicked out into the staff car park. There is an outside bit upstairs that you can hire out if you want to have a bit of a roof party though the surroundings are nothing to write home about. In this place you will most likely spend most of your night wondering around lost trying to find your friends. The music is terrible and the crowd could definitely be improved. Drinks prices are average.

Went there recently with work colleague as we were in Birmingham on a team building event from London. Very clean place, with plenty going on. They have a a number of bars there and a number of dance floors with difference music. One area is devoted to Kareoke. We watched that for a while for a few laughs. The drinks are reasonable and easy to get. Only problem is it was a very young crowd. I believe it was freshers week so it may be different. It had good security in place and does not look like a place for any trouble which is good.

I spent one of the worst nights of my life in Oceana and vowed never to go back. It was actually quite good fun, I was with a lot of friends and we were celebrating the end of term but I could have been anywhere with those guys and it would have been more fun. To have fun in Oceana you have to make it fun, and I would suggest that it would be far easier and probably a lot more enjoyable if you just went to one of the other great clubs in Brum and dont have to try to make it fun, it just is.

The music is enough to make you want to follow Van Gogh’s example and rip your own ears off and as if this wasn’t bad enough it is badly mixed by the so called DJs. The quality of the sound is poor and it is so loud you couldn’t possibly even have shout in the ear hole of the person next to you. Forgive me if I’m wrong but I thought clubs were places you went to to socialise and meet new people. No chance here, unless your on the pull.

If you on the pull there are plenty of horrid girls flaunting there stuff and plenty of sleazy perverted middle aged men trying to get with them. I don’t think I have ever been in a more sleazy place and I’ve been to bondage clubs.

If you don’t have a ticket you have to cue for hours to get to get in and when eventually you do get in you have to wait for an eternally long time to get a drink. All that standing outside in the cold builds up quite a thirst, at the risk of looking like an alcoholic it is worth buying as many drinks as you can hold in one go because you don’t want to have to keep on visiting the bar.

The layout makes it almost impossible to find someone if you loose them even if you know exactly where abouts they are from phoning them, itself a hard task because you have to try and find an area of reception that isn’t subject to about 120 decibels of noise.

So, its cleaner than a lot of the clubs in Birmingham and its not often you hear of fights there, but that doesn’t make it a good night as far as I’m concerned. Don’t go unless you are with a bunch of friends and even then do yourself a favour and go somewhere else.

This club is very big and great place for night out. Very busy and very clean place to go.

Oceana is a fab night out - the tag is ‘the world in one night’ - and thats no lie. The venue consists of 5 themed bars; First Port (a metropolitan bar playing a mixture of pop, funky house and easy listening), Wakyama Tokyo (Japanese style playing house/dance), Aspen Ski lodge (like a ski lodge - wooden walls and open fire, playing Indie music), and then Monte Carlo and Boudouir, both playing a bit of easy listening/jazz, but with boudiour a bit more ‘intimate’ and quieter. The two club rooms consist of Ice House (the largest - 1100 capacity) which plays Commercial Dance & RnB most nights, and New York Disco which plays generally more cheesey music (with its light up ‘Night Fever’ style dance floor!).
Drinks are fairly cheap on student nights (Mon & Weds) if you go for bottles, although prepare to be a little shocked if you go for say a double spirit and mixer, or a double vodka red bull for instance - you get the whole Red Bull. However - it is quite a classy venue - its very clean and there’s rarely trouble.

Friday and saturday (over 21s only) are rather more expensive - not OTT - but still not a cheap night out. Thursdays and Sundays have RnB nights.

There are 4 VIP suites available at around £100 each for the night. These can have music piped from one of 3 different rooms, or your own mixtape if you so wish! Most of the rooms hold about 30 people, but the partioning walls can be removed. The good thing about the VIP suites is that you get your own barman/woman for the night, and if you want to come back from the club rooms, you know you always have a seat and a drink waiting for you!

So as said - Oceana may not be the cheapest of venues, but it gets the balance of classy and being a big enough club to make it just right.

This is one club which i had heard a lot about before coming to birmingham this year. And surely enough, it turned out to b a great experience going there. Its a favourite amongst students especially on a monday night. And being a student I have been there on mondays. Its a very friendly and nice club to go if u wanna have a nice time. The drinks are cheap on mondays since its a student night. But there is a huge queue to get inside on mondays. So here is wat i would recommend : buy the tickets online on tick.it or ticketsellers.co.uk .. If u buy the tickets online then you get to enter from the backdoor which has very little queue and also you wont be worried of the tickets being sold-out.
It has a good selection of music and different rooms for different kind of music. I especially love the R 'n' B music there

Since Oceana opened, it quickly became one of the more popular clubs to frequent in Birmingham.
Located near to Chinatown, it's a huge club with five different rooms and many different bars.
Each of the rooms is decorated in a different style, from retro 70s style, to a snowy ski lodge style.
The music varies in the different rooms, with the main room playing different types of music on different nights.
The student nights are extremely popular, and the drinks are cheap, but make sure to buy a ticket from before if you don't want to be waiting in a long queue.

This is the biggest club I have visited in Birmingham. A favourite with students this place is great for a night on a budget. With five different mini-clubs inside this monster it caters for most mainstream (R'n'B, Hip Hop, Cheese etc.) music tastes. Unlike it's bigger brother in London, Oceana in Birmingham is a far more friendly affair with most punters there for a good time and not out looking for a fight.
