I'm sure there must be some nightclubs which are open later, even on Tuesdays. Try clicking around here:

Checkout the Villa...
by TracyG
You should try to watch Aston Villa play, at Villa Park.
One of the best teams in the country (not going by last seasons standards) and certainly my favourite, Aston Villa's supporters are some of the most faithfull in the game, and you are sure to have a great time at any of the matches you see.
City Shopping
by UK_GUY_LOVES_VEGAS
If shoppings your thing, Birmingham has some of the best shops in the city centre. As well as corporation street, and new street you also have the mailbox and the soon to be completed revamp of the bullring. Whatever you want - its here. Birmingham shops are very reasonably priced.
The Walkabout.
by DUNK67 about The Walkabout.
An Australian theme bar. As you can probably guess the bar has a largely Australian theme to its decor. There are several televisions dotted around the bar so that you can watch some sport while drinking some Australian beer like XXXX or Fosters.
Rail Bottleneck.
by J_P_B
New Street Station was recently flagged as the main bottleneck in the whole UK rail system. In spite of Manchester and Leeds being given many millions of pounds to sort their central stations out (with, I hasten to add, much lesser populations compared to Birmingham), the government has been singularly unforthcoming with any amount of funding to help sort this out. Fairly typical of the government's attitude to Birmingham, but I digress. In spite of this, Birmingham is well served by trains. It has 3 central stations: New Street (the big one), Moor Street (the redeveloped one) and Snow Street (the small one). The chances are that you will come into New Street, although you can get trains from London to Moor Street and Snow Hill. Please don't judge our city on New Street Station. Must Brummies hate it with a passion and wish that we had the money to do something about it. As I said, the government is not very forthcoming in that department. There are three exits from New Street: One dumps you in the Pallasades Shopping Centre - a tired old animal that could do with demolishing; One dumps you out by the New Bull Ring Shopping Centre; the final one is something of a lesser exit, which drops you out by Navigation Street - handy for accessing the Mailbox.
Moor Street has recenlty been redeveloped and is looking great, but in spite of that, the renovated part won't be connected to the main rail network for another couple of years... madness. In fact, the only train to arrive until then is a museum piece that they are putting on display there, which is going to turn up by crane anyway!
Snow Hill is a functional station and that's about it. You can get the Midland Metro here to visit the Black Country.
