I was on my own, Sat 10 May 2025 and was made very welcome by the lovely lady behind the bar (wonderful eye make up!) very friendly and chatty (I was in full leathers for another event) Davina Sparkle was on stage, also very chatty, friendly and seriously funny! A wonderful start to my night out in Brighton. Paul.

This place is one of my favourite places in brighton. It has a great community and the staff are lovely, Skye the bartender is brilliant, she is fun, friendly and makes everyone feel welcome. Thursday karaoke hosted by Alex is always a highlight of my week, she is a great host, and she makes everyone feel comfortable on stage! Also, the drinks are well priced as well, which I’m sure is the main question.
