Review of Ocean Rooms

Ocean Rooms 
Winner of club of the year a few years back, The Ocean Rooms is not right in the middle of Brighton's club blocks, but it doesn't matter because it delivers exactly the same quality experience. With three floors of music all with different themes, you know you'll always find something that you want to listen to, and with a crisp Funktion-One sound system, you know you'll be able to enjoy it with the clearest possible sound. Definitely a varied night out.

Review of Sejuice

Sejuice
You might even remember this place being on Channel 4's "Risking It All" programme a couple of years ago, but having started up their own business in the notoriously competitive North Laines, Sejuice have flourished. With mouth-wateringly complicated smoothies with up to 10 different ingredients and fruit sometimes, you're spoilt for choice really. With a comfy seating area out back, its just as much for people wanting to relax as people on the go. A bonifide success in my books.

Review of Cybercandy

Cyber Candy
The Laines are full of weird and wonderful independent shops that just entice you into them, and Cyber Candy is no different. Boasting hundreds of different sweets and snacks, mostly from America, you are literally treated from the minute you walk in. Colourful and indulgent, its hard not to want to buy it all, and unfortunately, with the prices, you wouldn't be able to anyway. But you'll find things in there you won't get anywhere else in Brighton, if not England. Unique.

Review of Concorde 2

Concorde 2
Both a gig and club venue, Concorde 2 thus appeals to all kinds of audiences in Brighton. Right up the end of Madeira Drive on the sea front, it is a good walk to get there, but it doesn't disappoint. Very large and long, with a huge stage, and chill out bar in front, it plays host to multitudes of nights, artists, bands and other forms of entertainment, and it is always busy if not full to capacity on the weekends. One of the largest clubs in Brighton, its definitely worth checking out.

Review of The Fortune Of War

The Fortune of War 
Brighton's sea front is awash with clubs, some great, some really not so great, but Fortune of War is unique because it is actually the only pub on the sea front. The inside is like stepping into the heart of an old ship, with wooden decking and a curved varnished ceiling and this alone makes it worth going to because you know the place is OLD. But aside from that, its a lovely place to have a drink in when you're on the beach that's not tacky at all, and also is host to some extremely varied underground music from Brighton. An interesting place indeed.

Review of Prince Albert

The Prince Albert
The Prince Albert is situated right at the top of Trafalgar Street round the corner from Brighton train station and such, metaphorically as well as literally it is the first place to go when you get to Brighton. And quite rightly so. With a lovely pub downstairs that has a wacky layout with two separate closed off rooms that you can sit in that makes you feel like you're at home, and a great gig venue upstairs that has played for the likes of Skunk Anansie, The Kooks and Arcade Fire, it's an all round yes for pub/gig goers.

Review of Riki Tiks

Riki Tik
Riki Tik is a bit of a tardis from the outside. Located in the bustling North Laines, the front is tiny to look at, but when you go inside it opens out into a very spacious lounge bar. Plush and refined but not over-indulgent, it has a great selection of drinks and cocktails and has also started serving Thai food on its menu to spice things up. Not cheap but then again few bars are in Brighton, and this has definitely got a less egotistical feel to it. Also open very late at weekends.

Review of Digital

Digital
A brand new club for Brighton, Digital has taken over the occupancy of the transitory Zap club, and changed the vibe ten-fold. No longer having the cheesy 80's/90's pop marathons that Zap was known for, Digital brings the best in electronic music of all genres with a brand new Funktion-One sound-system to go along with it. It's also been completely refurbished and is positively plush! Clearly, there's always going to be some music you don't like, but there's enough to cater to any musically-orientated clubber for at least one night a week.

Review of The Jazz Place

The Jazz Place/The Loft
Encompassing two different venues, this'double-club' is beautifully located on Ship Street just off the sea front and is home to a vast array of musical styles from live to electronic. With cheap drinks offers always available and homegrown Brighton talent to see most nights of the week, its a great place to check out if you want to know whats going on in Brighton's musical scenes. Not glitzy or glamorous, it's raw Brighton.

Review of Hectors's House

Hector's House
Located right near the sea front opposite the Pavilion, and with very late opening hours (3 at weekends and 1 during the week), Hector's House is always bustling with the younger crowds before club nights. With loads of room to sit, a stage that regularly plays live music, and a raised DJ booth that houses many different resident music nights, Hector's is a very popular place to check out before you head on to clubs that still manages to avoid the trendy facade and clientele that many pre-club bars so annoyingly retain.
