2 Best Nightlife in Stratford-upon-Avon and the Heart of England, England

Digbeth Dining Club

Hockley Fodor's choice

If you want to know where locals come to hang, this is it. Held every Thursday through Sunday, it’s a collection of street food stalls—largely from homegrown cooks—and bars, all with buzzy, fun atmospheres. There’s a heady mix of music, too, and the occasional market. Originally held in the neighborhood of Digbeth (hence the name), it relocated to a former printing work in Hockley in 2021 and its organizers host similar events across the Midlands, including pop-ups everywhere from Warwick Castle to Coventry. It's about a mile from the Jewellery Quarter—get off at the Jewellery Quarter train station and walk 10 minutes.

Jam House

Jewellery Quarter Fodor's choice

This is the place to come for live music in the city. The excellent drinking, dining, and dancing venue has live jazz, soul, or funk nightly.
