Great venue for a bit of fun with friends! If you like to do activities with your mates then this is somewhere to check out. Situated in Piccadilly Arcade you walk in and are greeted by a friendly host. As it was a warm day she said for us to check in upstairs and not to forget to ask for our complimentary water-what a lovely touch. We had food and drinks at the bar before playing, slightly on the expensive side but good quality. Atmosphere in there great, and feels very light and airy. Good music was being played the whole time we were there. When we went through to the arcade everything was explained really well before we started. The concept of the games are fun, but I would suggest making sure you read everything on the games before scanning your codes so you know what the aims of the games are! What I didn’t realise was how much my arms would ache after 🤣 I think next time I will have to join a gym before going as felt like a proper arm workout!

Oh, What a Night at Clays Birmingham! We chose Clays for our spring social, and it exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, Cara and JJ made us feel incredibly welcome — attentive, friendly, and genuinely invested in making sure everyone had a great time. The atmosphere was electric all evening. Drinks were flowing, laughter filled the room, and the friendly competition brought out the best in everyone. With such a wide variety of games to choose from, there was something for everyone to enjoy, whether you’re naturally competitive or just there for the fun. The food was another highlight — absolutely spot on and the perfect complement to an already fantastic evening. All in all, it was a first-class experience from start to finish. We had such a brilliant time that we’re already planning our return for the summer social. A huge thank you to the Clays team — you truly made the night one to remember!
