Barfly (club)

Barfly (club)

Barfly is a chain of nightclubs in the UK. It has venues in Birmingham, Brighton, Cambridge, Glasgow, Cardiff, Liverpool, London, York and Aberdeen. They regularly feature live music. Their club nights tend to feature rock, alternative and independent music. Barfly began as one club (originally at The Falcon pub before moving to The Monarch in 2000 which was then renamed The Barfly) in Camden Town, London in 1996. A second venue was opened in Cardiff in 2001 and others followed.

The Birmingham venue is situated in Digbeth, with the entrance just off Digbeth High Street. Although the venue is a part of the larger "Sanctuary" it still holds regular independent nights. The Cardiff venue is in the heart of the city besides Cardiff Castle. The Liverpool Barfly on Seel Street is housed in a two hundred years old building reputed to be haunted.Fact|date=February 2007 In 2007, new Barfly clubs opened in Brighton, in the Gloucester Nightclub in Gloucester Place, and Cambridge, in pub The Graduate.

Until 2003 Barfly ran a venue in Sheffield in the now defunct National Centre for Popular Music. The venue encapsulated one "pod" of the building but closed down sometime in 2002, then moving to what was then .Zero club (now The Plug) on Matilda Street. Barfly vacated these premises soon afterwards, and left Sheffield altogether.

On 2nd June 2008 the Brighton Barfly (formerly the Gloucester) closed down without notice.
