Everyone knows Thursday is the new Friday, and everyone also knows that Orange Is The New Black. So why not head on down to Brighton's first-ever prison-themed cocktail bar and enjoy a night of bespoke smuggled cocktails, dodgy guards and real metal cells. 

Dead Wax Social

If you fancy a slightly quieter Thursday night in Brighton, why not head to Dead Wax Social. This cool bar in the North Laine celebrates Brighton's incredible music scene through vinyl; that means there's no digital music being played and you can even take your own records along for consideration. The menu is packed with beer, and cocktails, and they really do know how to mix a mean drink.
