Review of Volks
24 Oct 07, 19:33
Volks Club, Brighton 
Volks club in Brighton could not be in a better location- situated right underneath the Colonnade that stretches right up the beach, Volks is the home of underground electronic music, and boasts more genres of electronica than any other club in Brighton, from Jungle, Techno, Dubstep, Psy-Trance and even Reggae/Dub. Not for the vain clubber, Volks is all about the music

Review of ShakeAway

Shakeaway
Even though Shakeaway has broadened its roots recently, and many have taken its ideas, Brighton was the home of the first one ever! With over 100 different flavour milkshakes with any flavour you can think of, from Lion bars and Nutella to Parma Violets, and with the option of combining and creating your own flavours by letting you bring things in, Shakeaway is the ultimate in indulgence...

Review of Grubbs Burgers
24 Oct 07, 20:48
Grubbs 
Grubbs is an infamous establishment in Brighton simply because it is a rarity in fast-food-esque outlets in that it caters for vegetarians in equal measure to meat-eaters in its menu. All types of burger are available in beef and veggie, thus it appeals to a far higher populus; add that to the fact that the flavours of burger are extremely varied and absoutely delicious and reasonable in price compared to commercial competitors, and you have a unique and tasty place to pop into! They even have a Grubbs Diner now!

Review of Pennywise

Pennywise
The discount shop has always been the haven of the student, the place where money really does go a long way, and Pennywise, situated on Lewes Road right in the middle of studentville is no different. Selling all manner of things from food to household goods, equipment, tools and stationery, it really is unbeatable when it comes to practicality.

Review of Kensington Cafe

Kensington Gardens Cafe
Tucked away in Kensington Gardens in the North Laines, The Gardens cafe is quint-essential Brighton. With its quirky artwork throughout, a lovely upstairs balcony looking down on the lanes, and a menu that takes up two whole walls, it is definitely a place you would come back to for its good vibes and comfortable feel.

Review of Taj The Grocer

Taj The Grocer
Taj is the best place in Brighton to go to when it comes to fresh, organic, wholesale produce for affordable prices. With wide ranges of organic fruit and vegetables, and other products, it is a haven for healthy living. Now with two stores open, one in Hove and one in Kemptown, its notoriety is undebated, and it really is where quality and source matter.

Review of Rounder Records Of Brighton
27 Oct 07, 13:41
Rounder Records
Brighton is full of records shops, but with the close of Infinity and Antidote, Rounder is second to none when it comes to range and diversity in electronic music selection. With all genres available and constantly updated, if you're not buying off the internet (which more and more people do today), Rounder is the only place worth checking out. Really friendly staff as well who are more than happy to discuss queries and advise you on music, something all records shops should do.

Review of The Mash Tun
27 Oct 07, 13:45
Mash Tun
Located perfectly in the centre of Brighton, and offering one of the best outdoor seating areas Brighton has to offer, Mash Tun is a hub for students and pre-clubbers. It also has a quirky upstairs lounge area with cool looking furniture. But more than anything else, as its name suggests, it serves tasty grub (bangers and mash need I say), at surpirsingly reasonable prices for Brighton.

Review of The Brighton Dome
27 Oct 07, 13:50
The Brighton Dome
The Dome is the home of live entertainment from the who's who of today. Second only (in size) to The Brighton Centre, The Dome puts on gigs, plays, stand-ups, orchestras you name it. Very large but yet still having a cosy feel, The Dome is the best place to see you favourite bands because despite its size it feels more intimate than other grander, yet more distant feeling venues.

Review of Casablanca Jazz Club
27 Oct 07, 13:55
Casablancas
Brighton caters for every kind of musical genre you can think of, and Casablancas ticks the box for Jazz like no other. With an admittedly cheesy upstairs repetoire on most days, it is downstairs that the Jazz club vibe really kicks off. With live bands playing all the time, and with that intimate feel that is essential for a Jazz club to work, Casablancas is the place to be if you want funk and soul in your music without Fatboy Slim.
