From full bellies to the fandango, you're looking for a venue in Brighton that boasts both. Whether you want authentic chow and heaving dancefloors or a laid-back meal with a booming basement room for the shuffling of feet, there's a venue in Brighton for one and all. And whilst we recommend that you allow at least 30 minutes for your food to go down before attacking the dance floor, we're not your parents, and simply urge you to have a chipper night out! Check out our recommendations for the best spots to indulge in a little dinner and dancing in Brighton!




The Mesmerist

Another of Brighton's venues with vintage inclinations, The Mesmerist is a night for those of hungry hankerings and dance floor cravings alike. Whilst you may start the night with their classic pub fare and creative cocktails, you're likely to end it Upstairs at the Mez. From swing dancing and jives to burlesque on a belly full, The Mesmerist boast some of the best in prohibition style bashes and pre-party fare.

Revolution Brighton West Street

Now we're pretty sure you already know that Revolution was primed for some serious dancing, but how about dinner? Leave a little earlier on your night out in Brighton and nab your chance to do both. From American style hamburgers and South American style nachos to party pizza, they've got just the hearty chow you need before a round of sprightly cocktails and schmoozing on the dance floor with chums. 

Bohemia

They may boast some of the most bespoke cocktails in the city, but Bohemia also like to live it rather large when it comes to dinner and dancing alike. There's an extensive menu to choose from - think baked camembert, grilled sea bass and sirloin steaks.

Chow down on fresh fish and Sussex meat alike before making your way downstairs for a saunter to some sweet jazz and party hits; this is not club by any means, but it's a dapper venue for a light hearted shimmy and glitzy get-up.

No 32

Looking for a restaurant in Brighton where you can dine and dance? You've come to the right place. While dining may be reserved to loved British plates with seasonal produce and dashes of international flair, dancing is the chaser in this venue. Following your slap-up dinner, why not take to the dancefloor for DJs and hits galore?

Al Duomo

Italian fare and intrinsically fun filled party nights? This Brighton restaurant boasts them both. While their party nights don't come weekly, they come regularly enough for you to grab a hot to trot spot on the dance floor after your plush Italian meal. Classic and wholesome with a boisterous edge, party nights and palate pleasers come hand in hand at Al Duomo where hen nights and birthday parties have become no stranger to their regular crowd.
