Whilst The Mesmerist may give off a slick, 1920s brood, they're not complacent when it comes to a little top notch entertainment and weekend antics. Whether you're taking in the sweet sounds of alternative hits in their 'Upstairs at the Mez' parties, or have a hankering for a little vintage fare as burlesque shows and circus performers reign supreme; The Mesmerist is your kind of off kilter party in Brighton.
If your idea of heaven is a bar spinning nothing but vinyl, pouring the best local craft beers, and serving up fresh, cheesy pizza, Dead Wax Social has you covered. Tucked away in the North Laine, this Bond Street gem is a love letter to Brighton's legendary record shops and music culture, with walls plastered in vintage vinyl sleeves and a playlist that never strays into commercial territory.
Old Albion is a party-happy pub found over in Hove. The cracking little spot serves G&Ts, along with craft beer and hearty roasts.
Shrug off those comments about being out of tune and remember what it is you love about singing. Lucky Voice doesn't discriminate, tune or no tune all you need is the microphone and we'll sort the rest. Karaoke ahoy! There'll be a chic little cocktail lounge to cruise and leather sofa's to chill on if you need a moment to get your breath back.
By day No 32 is a tasty morsel of stylish interiors, laid-back cocktail lounging and sumptuous eats. Sporting a very contemporary cool outfit, No 32 is all masterful mixology behind the bar and fun party atmospheres on the dance floor. DJs take to the decks over the weekend when this place really transforms into a hubbub of revelers.
You're cool, you want a fun time party bar, you've come to the right place. Known for their blindingly good DJ parties and heaving collection of top notch underground gig nights, The Green Door Store know nothing of boring, nothing of it at all. Found in a once abandoned warehouse, this party retreat is a cool, and far cry, from slick cocktail bars, instead boasting atmosphere and sweet alternative sounds.
One of the most bustling gay bars in Brighton, Legends know how to throw a party to the pop supreme. From your favourite 90s hits and retro spinners to current commercial tracks, Legends play a top notch selection, whether you're in their main club room or by the bar. Never fear about your bank balance either, they rustle up a rollicking drinks deal given the chance.
Dive bars, we love 'em. But where in Brighton can you get your fill? A basement retreat for those in Brighton who care very little for plush interiors, and more about a cracking atmosphere, Casablanca Jazz Club boast some smashing basement doozies. From live music to being cramped in with your chums, this is good ol' fashioned partying with none of the stuck up sass.
