Looking to spice things up a little? Well, it doesn't get much sexier than this Kemptown favourite. Head to Proud where you'll find class cabaret acts, seductive burlesque dancers and the food and drinks to top it all off.

Nothing says 'I love you' like hurling a few hefty axes at a wall, right?

Head down to the cosy cave beneath Artista Cafe & Gallery for a night of side-splitting laughter courtesy of The Secret Comedy Club. The ideal date-night setting, the intimate little venue is adorned with twinkling fairy lights and cosy two-seaters. 

Sure, you could spend Valentine's in a restaurant, or holed up in a cocktail bar, or you could be gaming each other to the ends of the earth (or at least the pier). If that's more your kind of thing, get to the World's End for games and casual pints aplenty. 

As one of Brighton's oldest boozers, The Lion and Lobster is an atmospheric little spot to spend Valentine's Day. Strewn with fairy lights and lots of cosy little corners, snuggle up and enjoy pints of real ale and a cracking selection of gastro pub food.

If there's one thing The Coal Shed are all about, it's a love of meat. Come the 14th, they've put together a mouth-watering menu of tasty treats to woo your Valentine with. There's plenty of dishes to choose from, so head here if you're hoping to impress.

Be prepared to get goo goo eyes over a melting pot of cheese fondue at The Tempest's winter pop up.

Sure, it might be cheesy...but all the best date nights are.

To have and to hold till death do you part? Put your relationship resilience to the test as you get banged up at Brighton's best-loved prison-themed cocktail bar. You and your partner will have to put your heads together to smuggle some spirits behind bars, being careful not to draw attention from the super strict sheriff. 

Set inside swanky Brighton hotel The Artist Residence, The Fix (previously The Cocktail Shack) is the perfect spot for an early eve aperitif or late-night tipple.
