If there’s one thing this city knows what to do, it’s PART-YYYYY! Choose from iconic clubs in the seafront arches such as the Honeyclub and the new Life, super-duper superclubs such as Tru and the epic Oceana, intimate cocktail and style-led venues such as Koba and the Hanbury Club, or go for something entirely different such as the brilliant Lucky Voice karaoke bar and club, Grosvenor Casinos on the seafront and in Hove, or the Sim Lounge at Brighton Marina. Whatever you do have buckets more fun with Brighton Visitor’s top picks below!
Grosvenor Casinos
Two casinos... two very different experiences! Choose from the sophisticated atmosphere of Grosvenor Casino Hove, or feel the city buzz of Grosvenor Casino Brighton Seafront (the only 24 hour casino on the south coast!). In addition to a great selection of gaming, both casinos offer a bar and late night dining (that’s great quality and great value), plus there are free tutorial sessions and training tables for casino virgins.
