One of the best bars in town if you’re celebrating a birthday, as they usually sort you out with great deals on drinks and bestow you with a bottle of bubbly. Below the bar, the basement area is always rammed with people dancing to the sound of Ibiza club bangers, and if it’s a warm summer’s evening the spacious beer garden is the best place to enjoy one of their freshly-made cocktails or shisha.
The drinks here are cheap, entry is cheaper (or sometimes free) and they sometimes have a bouncy castle at the front. What’s not to love?

The best place for students, as you can always rely on Coalition to bring the tunes, and the club gets bonus points for it’s guest DJ sets and quirky photo booth.
Brighton’s gay population is one of the largest in the UK, so it makes sense that this gay bar in Brighton is one of the most lively venues in the city. Go for the music, which is always great, and stay for the buzzing atmosphere.
Of all the clubs in Brighton, Pryzm is probably the most impressive.

By day, this club serves food and drink on the beach. But by night, Shooshh is all about the shots and vodka doubles. The club is quite glitzy, so if you’re planning on coming be sure to wear your highest heels and most impressive LBD’s. Book a VIP or Platinum experience for access to different areas of the club and enjoy the super-sexy R&B vibes they have going on in there.
One of Brighton’s indier venues, this club is best for old school, 90’s anthems and funky pop numbers. Put your names on the Facebook wall for discounted entry!
Patterns usually hosts some of the best DJ’s around, but tickets to these nights sell out fast so get on their website to buy ASAP!

The Font is a club/pub hybrid, with the best of both worlds. Later in the night, most people can be found dancing in the area in front of the bar downstairs, but if you just want to sit and chill you can find a table upstairs, which overlooks the dancing area.
