Review of Funktion Rooms
25 Apr 08, 23:09
THE place to go in the 'bourne 
Funktion Rooms is Eastbourne's newest and coolest nightclub...by a million miles. The former House of Horrors (sorry Commons) has been completely transformed. If you haven't been since the birth of Funktion you simply won't recognise the place. For fear of sounding like a 17 year old boy...the sound system is awesome too.
This is a proper club. With proper DJs. And proper acts. It's just what the town desperately needed...I went when it first opened and you could literally hear the collective sigh of relief from the local clubbing crowd.
There's a reassuringly long queue out the door at weekends...so make sure you take your coat kids. Oh sorry my mistake...you don't need a coat when you're under 25. I was like that once...

Review of Kings & Jax Bar
25 Apr 08, 22:45
Sticky floors 
Granted I haven't been to Kings for a couple of years but this is the kind of club you go to with a bunch of mates who aren't particularly bothered about what they're dancing to so long as they've had a skinful.
It's good fun...packed out at weekends and dishes up a good selection of cheese. Yes the floors are sticky...yes the loos are manky but you will have a laugh if you're with the right people. You might even get hit on by a teenager too...bonus!

Review of Funky Buddha Lounge
24 Apr 08, 18:35
Small but perfectly formed 
The Buddha is a tiny little club under the arches on Brighton beach and loved by the local clubbers. It can get pretty packed and warm in there but if you get there early enough you can bagsy the nice white seats at the back.
Weekends promise a real treat with Thank Funk It's Friday hosted by the excitable but talented Sean Quinn and Saturdays you'll find the legend that is Mike Panteli laying down some seriously deep & funky soul/funk/RnB and the like. Nice.

Review of Honey Club
18 Apr 08, 23:06
Am I too old?! 
It might just be my age but I think I've had it with the Honey Club.
I've been maybe 3 times in the past 18 months and just didn't really like it much. Don't get me wrong they book some seriously good DJs but I just don't feel at ease there. There seems to be a little bit of an attitude about the place at times...there's too much primping and preening in the ladies and people generally seem too bothered about what they're wearing to have a proper good time.
Not only that but it is REALLY expensive...when you have to pay £15 just to get through the door on certain nights it does leave a bit of a bad taste in your mouth and the drinks are equally as extortionate.
Blimey...I really do sound old. Think I best get to bed with a nice cup of Horlicks.

Review of Digital
18 Apr 08, 23:00
An old flame revisited
I used to drive to Zap (now Digital) from my hometown of Southampton as a hungry 18 year old. Alright I was 17 but don't tell anyone. I was bang into my hard house and loved the Zap and all its glorious weirdos. I spent many a crazy night in there flinging myself about and talking to people I probably shouldn't have.
I don't really club so much now but have been to Digital in the past year to see Gallows and British Sea Power. It's small enough to feel like you're part of the act...well Gallows spread themselves right around the place anyway so you didn't have much choice in the matter. Both were excellent gigs and strangely well suited to a place known for its strutting dancefloor lovelies.

Review of Concorde 2
18 Apr 08, 22:49
I love this place!
Concorde 2 is a little bit dark and a little bit mucky but that just adds to the romance of this splendid gig venue. Without meaning to sound pretentious...it's very 'Brighton' They have club nights here too such as Fat Boy's Big Beat Boutique.
It's not fantasically easy to get to on foot but that just adds to the excitement as you walk along the seafront on Madeira Drive (mind the boy-racers!) If you're the designated driver then it's no problem at all as you can park virtually outside for free in the evenings.
I've seen some amazing bands at Concorde 2 and have loved every second of being squeezed in with all the other musos, jumping around and getting a bit damp. That's what the Concorde 2 is all about. I went to Concorde 1 once as well...before it got shut down. This is the perfect replacement.
