It's hard to explain what's so wrong with shooshh, you really have to be their to get it, but i don't want to force that fate on you so i'll just try and explain. Aesthetically this place appears to have been based off school disco's off the 90's, but the music here isn't so bad it's good, it's just so bad. (I also saw the DJ at one point pretending to press buttons) Drink deals. Supposed to get you drunk and save you some money, but is it worth it when the drink's taste this bad? If it sounds like i'm exaggerating I apologise but this club really was just this bad. I don't really ever recommend attending shooshh for any reason, but if you must, don't.

Thats why once every few months, after a couple (many) beverages my friends and I like to take trip to a little place called the Funky Fish. Its nearly always a laugh, it has the feel of gate crashing someones wedding with the constant supply of Jackson 5 and Diana Ross. If you not up for dancing this place isn't for you as everyones up on the floor all night, with every tune more classic than the last. The venue is right on the sea front and you enter through a old door to a Victorian town house. The interior is a little dingy and unimaginative but the friendly atmosphere and absolute carnage that ensues makes up for that. An excellent place for a birthdays, stag and hens dos or generally if you want to let loose and get funky.

We dressed up in 60s outfits when we went here, and I would definitely recommend some fancy dress if you plan on taking a trip here - helps to get in the spirit of things.

Regular appearances from big name acts, such as Florence and The Machine, Kaiser Chiefs, The White Stripes, Bloc Party and De La Soul, mean that it's a must-play for any semi-successful touring act. The ample £250 000 sound system and professional staging gives every show a sense of occasion, lifting the venue above the amateur but not so high as to be inaccessible. Adorned with enough character and history it's possibly the only independent venue in Brighton that consistently delivers first-class entertainment in an elegant setting at an affordable price.

This is one of my favourite pubs in Brighton. Entering, you…read moremight think you'd found a very small and busy pub, with only a few tables. Explore futher though, and you find smaller rooms, the size of a small living room with a few sofas and tables. It does really feel in these parts of the pub as if you are in someone's house. Upstairs, there is a large function room, which also provides extra seating on busy nights. It's often used for band nights and big screen football. The place is stuffed full of interesting nooks and crannies and things to look at, without being too self-consciously cool. The toilet graffiti is also a constant source of amusement.

Over…read morethe years it has become an institution, partly due to the infamous Banksy painting on the outside wall, and the rest is down to everything else it has to offer. The layout of the pub is great. There aren't many big pubs which still manage to feel cosy, but the individual rooms/areas of The Prince Albert mean that even at its emptiest times (which isn't often) the place still feels homely and warm. Each room is decorated uniquely and there's cool music posters, most signed by famous bands and DJs, hanging throughout the pub. They make for good snooping material whilst you're mulling over a pint. Upstairs there's a decent sized live music venue where bands from Brighton and beyond grace the stage. The sound system is good, but the room does get a little hot in the summer months. The staff are part of the furniture in this place, and they're all super friendly, whilst still managing to look uber cool. The prices are very reasonable considering the pubs location and clientèle, and they serve a good range of ciders, beers, wines and spirits. The foods not bad either, and they serve meals much later than any other Brighton establishments. The only downside to the place is the lack of a garden. There is a small patio at the back of the pub, but it's usually very busy, and the seating outside the front of the pub (which there is a lot of) is right on the roadside. But all in all this is a great place and worth visiting just to see the Banksy if nothing else.

It is fairly small, but generally feels about the right size for the nights that are held here. The bar is separate from the main dancefloor, which is a definite bonus, meaning that no-one is walking through the thronging masses to get to the bar. The main room is upstairs, but downstairs is another smaller room, generally with a more chilled out atmosphere than the main section. In summer, in common with most seafront clubs, it is a cafe/bar in the daytime, serving takeaway drinks and basic food. It's not plush or fancy, and could even be described as grimy, but it's also a hell of a lot of fun.

They still have decent nights on but none that captured the grime and filth that came with GRAMPS HI-FI soundsystem when installed for said night. The club has a good layout and if it's packed out the main room is loads of fun, the downstairs room is smaller (main one isn't that big though) and can be quite annoying but at least another option.

In the summertime, Brighton Coalition is an ideal place to go for a drink and something to eat…read more There's dozens of tables with umbrellas outside and comfy armchairs and sofas inside where you can look out at the beach and the hundreds of people sunbathing. Unfortunately, both times I ate there I was appalled by the service and the standard of food. The first time I ordered a superfood salad that was limp and lacking most of the good ingredients and the second time I ordered a burger and fries. The latter was delivered cold and wasn't that tasty either - a double whammy of disappointment. I would have sent them back but the staff were so rushed off their feet both time, it was impossible to get their attention. When I did complain they simply looked at me stoney-facey and shrugged 'Sorry about that' or something to that effect. Suffice to say, I won't be going back to eat there unless they employ a new team of chefs and some well mannered staff! I would however, go back to The Coalition in the evening to try one of their gigs or club nights like Club NME. The drinks are reasonable and they have an intreguing roster of guest deejays and bands from Boy George to Bloc Party.

Ah, Brighton, the trendier beach-based city. With a thriving gay community and a row of artists' studios on the waterfront you literally couldn't get more boho. Music venues of course are a must in a town like this, and the Coalition is a great example. While the BF insisted that the acoustics weren't spot on, we mere mortals and Average Joes enjoyed what we heard and saw. The atmospheric lighting and original features lent themselves well to an intimate space where the band is literally only a few feet away, the bar's always within reach and there are squishy sofas aplenty to appease your behind. I do have a scruple though, and it's a big one. After the bands played, we were kicked out. And I do mean harshly for a sweet, sensitive and soulful place like Brighton. Heck, this would have been harsh even in Manchester. No messing around with these bouncers. And why were they kicking us out, pray tell? Oh, they weren't closing. No, far from it. After the live music they re-open as a club and boot you out so you have to pay AGAIN to get in. Coalition, you were so close. I'd definitely see a band there again, but I'd make sure my Bulmers was supped and my coat was well and truly got by the time the closing few bars were played. Shame.
