About Venue
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.

Had an amazing time at O’Neills. Best place for a night out. Amazing service from Liv. Come here if you want good service. Good drinks. And a good vibe.

I came in on Saturday the 20th December a lovely young girl I think her name was Rayven took our order. She was funny and smiled and nothing was too much trouble. Atmosphere was great .

Booked in for 90 minutes of interactive darts for a works do. Staff were really attentive and got us all set up brilliantly. Table service was efficient. We all had a great time and is a really great inexpensive experience for a bit of team bonding. Thanks - will deffo be booking again.

Came in Saturday night had a great time with friends having a get together. Always amazed how helpful and warm the staff are at O'neills. One particular girl called Rayven stood out as she was particularly nice and couldn't do enough for us. Will definately be returning.

Stopped in for a Mega Irish Breakfast. Was cooked perfectly everything was hot and more than enough on your plate to keep you going for the day. As a visitor from Ireland only note from me was that the sausages would be better plain than flavoured, but that’s a personal preference. As stated food was cooked perfectly and hats off to the chef. Would definitely go back again when next visiting.
