@ Forbidden Nights Brighton on Saturday 13th June 2026 and 7 other Saturdays
Grab the girlies and make your way to Ironworks Studios for Forbidden Nights Male Strip Show in Brighton. Get excited as there's going to be a talented cast of performers showcasing their torsos, alongside photos with the cast and entry into Pryzm nightclub afterwards.
Round up the gals for a night to remember at Mowgli. With its swinging seats, hanging vines and twinkling fairy lights, this place brings the street markets of India to Dukes Street.
With small plates and sharers, it's perfect for group dining. You can tuck in tapas-style to dishes like treacle tamarind fries, Himalayan cheese toast and Diwali cauliflower or go for house specials like the lamb bunny chow or Aunty Geeta's prawn curry - all washed down with signature cocktails like the chilli mango martini.
@ The Black Lion on Every Saturday
Round up the gals and get down to The Black Lion on a Friday or Saturday night. Expect deep basslines and singalong tunes all the way through to 3am.
Here, the lights are vibrant, the drinks are cold and the bass is booming - everything you need to get the gals moving.
Lapping up the seaside shores of Brighton, the cocktail brand dominating London's drinking scene is one of our top picks for a girls night out in Brighton. The perfect stomping ground if you're looking for fun cocktails, feel good tunes and a buzzing crowd.
Planning a girls' night out in Brighton? Tempest makes it easy to cover every base. Start with cocktails on the terrace, soaking up sea views, before heading inside as the music ramps up. With events like Uncut Jams and Coloursound bringing lively, dancefloor-ready vibes, it's the kind of place where one drink turns into a great night without needing to move on.
@ Alcotraz Penitentiary: Brighton on Various dates from Sunday 10th May 2026
Take the girls on a night out unlike any other, with a trip to Alcotraz. Here, you'll don those famed orange jumpsuits and attempt to smuggle in hooch, with criminals whipping up bespoke mixes once you get inside... just avoid the suspecting gaze of The Warden, or else.
There's nothing better than a crackin' sing-a-long with your mates (even if you are a bit tone def - it's the effort that counts) and Lucky Voice is a bit of an institution when it comes to karaoke. Bag yourself a private room and let loose with raucous revelry and classic tunes.
Fancy your girls night out with a healthy dose of class and sophistication? Then head for cocktails at HARbar. Located in the swanky Brighton Harbour Hotel, you'll find a delicious variety of drinks including fantastic fizz and some top notch cocktails.
No girls night out is complete without a healthy serving of gin, and with more than 70 varieties of the stuff, The Gin Tub in Hove is a pretty good bet. The venue is also built so that mobile phones won't have any reception, meaning you can have a proper good natter without any interruptions.
