| Revenge 32-24 Old Steine 01273 606064 website: Revenge email: Revenge email |
The biggest gay
club in the south (outside London). The club is over twice the size of it's
nearest rival and has recently installed Brighton's only
full colour laser! (Sept 2002). That coupled with the amazing
light show and incredible Turbosound systems makes Revenge a
destination club. It doesn't end there though Revenge is
one of those well balanced gay clubs you automatically feel right in, with a
great mix of people. The venue is split over two floors, both with bar and dancefloor/dj. The design is modern. Revenge is popular with all
ages but especially 18-35. The club and its website have won countless awards for it's design, dj's and it's club nights including the 'Boyz Weekend Club of the Year (UK)'
2000 and 2001. Open Sun - Thurs 10.30 - 2am. Fri - Sat 10 - 3am. |

| Pool 8 Marine Parade 01273 624091 |
Slightly bigger
than Secrets, Pool is above Charles Street. It's hard to be to critical of a
alternative pace to go but Pool is let down because (unfortunately) it just
doesn't feel like a club. Their is little atmosphere and no matter what they've
spent and we reckon quite alot, it just isn't working that well. That's not to
say all is lost, a refit is promised which should give more space and maybe
sort the atmosphere problem out. On the upside their Coco Latte night can be
good. Open Mon - Sat 9 - 2am. Sun 9 - 10.30pm. |

| and the one nighters... | ||
| Most one nighters are in fact mixed nights. Some are predominately
gay but each night can be different. Be aware that although most straights
there seem to be enlightened, some aren't. Gays sometimes get problems. Here we
try and highlight the ones worth a visit . |

| Re-Fresh @ The Tavern Club Castle Square |
Weekly girls night just up the road from Revenge. Being a girl I
should give this the thumbs up but I haven't been for a while. Very heavy if
you just want a fun night out but I have lots of friends who love it. I won't
be unfair and rate it until I go again. Every Friday |
|

|
 |
|
| Sundazed @ The Honey Club Kings Arches |
Weekly very mixed night at medium sized straight club to the west
of Kemp Town. The music is hard house. The venue is on two floors with bars and
a dancefloor. Every Sunday |
|
|
|
|
|
| Wild Fruit @ The Paradox West Street |
Mixed monthly one nighter to the west of Kemp Town. The venue is a
straight club. This large venue comprises of two floors with several bars and
one with a dancefloor. As big one nighters go it falls somewhere in the middle
ground. Personally we feel the music is to hard but maybe that's what the
punters want. Out of all my friends I don't know any who go for the music, most
go because it's somewhere different. Monthly, every 1st Monday |
