From the team behind Mama Roux's—a Digbeth institution known for its wild parties, confetti drops, and seamless mix of live and electronic music—comes something completely different: Club Colette. Nestled just next door on Lower Trinity Street, this new venue promises to strip things back to basics, putting DJs, intimacy, and top-notch sound quality at the heart of its offering.
Unlike Mama Roux's larger-than-life approach, Club Colette is all about reconnecting with the roots of club culture. As the founders put it, they aim to restore what Digbeth has been missing in recent years: community, culture, and a laser focus on the music.
The venue is split across two rooms, each with its unique vibe. The main room features a tiered design, perfect for elevated dancing and bringing the crowd closer to the DJ booth. Meanwhile, Room 2 takes things down a notch—quite literally—in a cosy, converted fried chicken shop.
"It's the smallest room in the city, and we're proud of that," says co-founder Benjy Hill. "The two rooms are linked by a terrace under the Victorian viaducts, where we'll host summer day parties with local and international brands."
The focus is on the little details that make for unforgettable nights: intimate spaces, quality sound, and a connection between DJs and the crowd.
Club Colette's weekly programming ensures there's a night for every music lover:
Fridays showcase emerging talent across genres like hip hop, UK garage, amapiano, and liquid drum and bass, giving up-and-coming artists the spotlight they deserve.
Saturdays are reserved for international DJs, bringing underground house and techno stars into the club's intimate, high-energy setting.
"While there's a place for the bigger venues, we're about going the other way," explains Hill. "We want to bring world-class artists back in front of the kinds of crowds that first shaped them. And we're shining a light on our residents, who have too often been overlooked in today's rave culture."
Club Colette isn't just a club; it's part of a larger vision to transform Lower Trinity Street into a true cultural destination. With plans to incorporate food in 2025 and use all five arches for events, the venue creates a space where everyone can find their groove.
"There really is something for everyone now," says Hill, highlighting the ambition behind the project.
Before the official launch next year, Club Colette is offering a taste of what's to come with a special daytime party on 14th December. Teaming up with the Italian collective After Caposile and Birmingham's own CNTRL, the event will feature headliners Kepler and Francesco Maddalena, as well as residents Lopaski, Mizo, Mark Birch, and more. Expect a proper underground vibe across both rooms.
