The Verve Lounge is setting up home at 52 Gas Street with an official public opening on Saturday 3 February, creating at least 12 new jobs.
Westside Business Improvement District (BID) sent a videographer down to the venue last night to provide a sneak preview of the new bar which will stand where legendary Birmingham nightclub Bobby Browns previously stood.
Mike Olley, general manager of Westside BID, said: "The name Bobby Browns is a famous one to anyone who was out and about in town in the 1980s, 90s and early 2000s, and it's fantastic to have the building reimagined and reopening as the Verve Club.
"We welcome the rejuvenation of this section of Gas Street, and are looking forward to the new fun-seekers who will soon be enjoying themselves here."
The iconic building originally served as a gun factory and was later used as stables for the adjacent canal. But more famously, it was once occupied by the legendary Bobby Brown’s nightclub, which opened in the 1980s before closing in 2003.
