The venue you choose for your event is as important as wearing the right pair of shoes - despite all of the time and effort spent on selecting the perfect outfit for a special occasion, all people will remember is the battered old boots you wore! Our venues complement your personality and give your event the profile it deserves, lifting it from ordinary to extraordinary! We offer a wide variety of spaces to choose from that are as individual as you are. The UVB portfolio includes auditoria presenting huge dramatic and creative possibilities, a spectacular five-storeys high rotunda, and a beautiful roof terrace with panoramic views across the city. For slightly more traditional requirements, we present an array of suites and rooms complete with all of the audio-visual technology you could ask for but set within architecturally splendid buildings with impressive views. Make the decision to transform your future events from mundane to magnificent – choose Unique Venues Birmingham.

Welcome to the SMR and Skyline, a space steeped in history and charm. This historic room, originally designed by the renowned architect John Henry Chamberlain in 1882 for the city's Victorian Library, has been meticulously restored by local craftsmen, preserving its rich heritage. Now, it stands proudly at the pinnacle of the Library of Birmingham, offering an awe-inspiring setting.

The adjacent skyline provides a breathtaking panoramic view of the vibrant city of Birmingham, creating an atmosphere that's nothing short of magical.

The SMR and Skyline embody a fusion of the past and present, where the echoes of history resonate through the room's architecture, and the modern skyline outside paints a picture of the city's dynamic evolution. This unique space promises an experience that's as timeless as it is captivating, making it a standout choice for your special event or gathering.

    I had one of the best breakfasts of my life here. The mega Irish breakfast was perfectly filling and tasted delicious, service was great and the atmosphere is really good, very well decorated.

    We came here (9 of us) for the Liverpool v Chelsea Carabao Cup final and the service was fantastic. The food was amazing (thanks so much James). The atmosphere and the service was spot on, staff were really friendly and we had a fantastic time. I know my cousin comes here regularly but I'm sure the next time we are in Birmingham we will be stopping by! Thank you all so much for making our experience a fab one! 👌 So thank you again so much to James, Sean, Chris, Simon and Ryan for a fabulous time! Highly recommended and appreciated!

    Wow, this place was absolutely amazing and extranomical! The staff were incredibly helpful when it came to picking a drink of my desire. We had such a positive experience and can't wait to come back again. Highly recommend this pub for its fantastic atmosphere, friendly staff, and tasty food!" I hope you like it! Let me know if there's anything else I can assist you with. 🍻😊

    Came here 2 days in a row whilst on a trip to Birmingham. Both times the staff were amazing (especially Ryan), so friendly and very helpful. The food was also great, hot, tasty and arrived quickly. Will definitely be back in next time we're in Birmingham.
