Brighton Hookup Spots

brighton01

Home of the Royal Pavilion, and the Brighton Toy and Model Museum, Brighton has many fun activities to do during the day when you're visiting. What we want to ensure though is that your evenings are used to their fullest extent, and that you know what hookup bars and clubs to visit should you wish to perhaps spend a night or two with local singles. Brighton's hookup spots are plentiful, so check out our helpful directory below.

History of the Brighton Hookup Scene

There are two things that Brighton's hookup scene is probably best known for. That Brighton students have the most sex in the United Kingdom and its LGBTQ club scene. Two things that we think are great compliments to one another (and sometimes are even connected).

Brighton has long had a strong LGBTQ community, and has one of of the largest Pride parades in all of the UK. The parade draws close to 160,000 people to celebrate every year, and of course you know that where there's a Pride parade, there are hookups. So many hookups.

A line could be easily drawn between the amazing gay hookup scene and the rest of Brighton feeling a little more comfortable with their own sexual exploration, seeing and being expired but the LGBTQ community.

Best Time To Go Out And Days To Go Out

brighton03

As always, Thursday, Friday, and Saturdays are your best bets to go out and find some smoking hot hookups, but Brighton is one of those cities that takes its partying seriously, and a good portion of its population doesn't like being told when they need to go to bed, and will gladly stay out late on a Tuesday night if there's a good hookup involved.

Lots of the city's clubs have themed nights on weeknights in order to pick up business. These theme nights are great for not only bringing out more people who're looking for a hookup, but also for targeting in on people who might have common interests, which will increase your odds of getting lucky.

The Marine Tavern

Type
Gay Bar
Space
Pub and Restaurant
Crowd
Young to Mature Gay Men
Address
13 Broad St, Brighton and Hove, Brighton BN2 1TJ, United Kingdom
Website
Any Notes
Cash and cards accepted.
Brief Description
The Marine Tavern is one of Brighton's staples if you're a gay man. What looks like your every day pub is actually one of the friendliest spots in the gay scene. People have referred to it as "Gay Cheers", and though we aren't sure it's exactly accurate, it's not far off. The clientele mostly knows everyone, and is very friendly. They're even friendlier when someone new comes to visit, so if you don't mind potentially feeling like a piece of meat being fought over, you should go enjoy a meal and a few pints of lager at the Marine Tavern. Make sure to copy down the address above, by the way. The tavern for some reason doesn't seem to have it listed anywhere on its website.

Charles Street Tap

Type
Gay Bar and Restaurant
Space
Bar, Restaurant, and Cabaret Stage
Crowd
Young to Mature Gay Adults
Address
8 Marine Parade, Brighton, BN3 1TA, United Kingdom
Website
Any Notes
Cash and cards accepted. In the heart of the gay village.
Brief Description
Charles Street Tap is very proud of its food. It even opens up for breakfast every day at 10 AM (11 AM on Sundays), and then operates as a bar/restaurant for the day, until it's time to get wild, and throw a party. Every night, the bar fills with a great crowd of men looking to hookup while enjoying one of the bar's DJ nights or drag cabaret shows. Get there slightly early on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays if you want to avoid waiting in what can often be a very long line.

On the Rocks Bar Crawl

Type
Bar and Dance Club Crawl
Space
5 Different Bars and Clubs
Crowd
Young Adults
Address
Tours begin at The Royal Pavilion Tavern: 7-8 Castle Square, BN1 1FX United Kingdom.
Website
Any Notes
Buy tickets in advance on the crawl's website. All bars on the crawl accept cash and cards.
Brief Description
On the Rocks Bar Crawl is a great way to see a bunch of hookup bars and clubs in one night, with a group of typically tourists. For just 15 pounds, you and your group will visit five different bars and clubs that are rated among the best in Brighton. What's your ticket paying for? Well you're given a walking tour between bars, with a tour guide who will tell you about the history of the bars you're visiting, you'll get a free shot at each stop on the crawl, and the biggest perk of being in the group is that you can jump the queue at all of the bars. No need to wait in long bar lines. Jump to the front, and get your drinks right away. This is a great way to meet someone at the bar too, who's been looking cute while waiting in line. Offering to buy them a drink with your bar crawl privileges is a great ice breaker. And if you sense a hookup coming at any of the crawl stops, you're of course free to ditch the group, and stay with your new hot friend.

Brief Description
Not your typical hookup club for sure, but if you're looking for a cute and quirky artsy hookup, this is a great spot to hit up for one of its numerous nights. The club's calendar is typically filled with alt comedy and fringe festival style shows, with the occasional music performance. The bar has a great selection of drinks that competes with some of the best hipster bars in town. Even cooler, is that Komedia has a two screen cinema in its building, so if you have some time to kill between work and your show, you can go check out an art film.

The Gin Tub

Type
Bar
Space
Bar, tables, and small dance floor
Crowd
Young to Mature Adults
Address
16 Church Road | Hove | BN3 2FL United Kingdom
Website
Any Notes
Cash and cards accepted. Don't come here if you have important business that requires a phone signal.
Brief Description
The Gin Tub has a very cool gimmick, that is the root of some other cool features to make this one of the most unique hookup bars in Brighton. The walls of the bar are covered in copper, which kills most cell phone service, and forces people to put their phones away and just enjoy each other's company without the digital distraction. Now here's what makes it a great hookup spot that we suggest visiting with a wingman/woman or two, as its clientele is largely seated at tables. You might think that walking over to someone's table and asking if you can join them or buy them a drink is a corny way to hit on someone, and we agree. Because of the no cell phone gimmick of the bar though, each table in The Gin Tub is equipped with a landline telephone that they can use to call the bar and order drinks. The phones are also setup so that you can call another table if you fancy a conversation with someone who catches your eye across the bar. The bar's policy however, is that if you call someone on their phone, you have to buy them a drink. Sounds fair to us, and also a great way to break the ice.

Brighton Hookup Clubs

The hookup club options in Brighton are plentiful, so if you're more the type who wants to go find some action with a pounding dance club soundtrack, rather than with your pinkie finger out while you hold onto a fancy cocktail, Brighton has you covered. Just throw on a pair of comfortable shoes and get out there on the dance floor! The locals are waiting.

Coalition

Type
Dance Club
Space
Bar, Dance Floor, and Stage
Crowd
Young Adults (with a strong focus on students)
Address
171-181 Kings Rd Arches, Brighton, East Sussex BN1 1NB, United Kingdom
Website
Any Notes
Cash and cards accepted. Open until 5 AM every night (except Saturdays, which they're open until 7 AM on)!
Brief Description
Coalition is one of the best times you're going to have in Brighton. Period. It's a dance club for young people, and its music selection, bar offerings, and late hours of operation. It frequently has special events and discounts for students, because they know how expensive it can be to get that degree, and know how important it is to enjoy your youth at the same time. If you're going with a bunch of your single friends, we suggest that it might be a wise idea to e-mail the club in advance to get yourself on the guest list, and possibly even book a table. There's nothing more attractive after hours of dancing, than somewhere to sit. If that spot just happens to be beside you, even better for the hottie who decides to come over and rest their feet while you work on your flirting.

Subline Brighton

Type
Members Only Gay Cruising Club
Space
N/A
Crowd
Young to Mature Gay Men
Address
129 St James Street, Brighton BN2 1TH, United Kingdom
Website
Any Notes
Cash and cards accepted. Closed on Monday and Tuesday (but available to rent for events). No dress code.
Brief Description
Subline Brighton is without question, the spot you need to go to if you're a guy looking for a hookup spot full of other guys. Most hookup clubs and bars are only hookup bars on account of the fact that a lot of their clientele is single and looking for action, but Subline's primary purpose is as a gay hookup bar. There's no dress code, so expect the club to be full of naked (or near naked) men on most nights. There are themed nights where you might want to look in your tickle trunk for an outfit, such as Filth, their monthly "mixed full-fetish party", or Dirty Tackle night, where you get a discount on your cover charge if you come wearing sportswear. With frequent deals on entry fees and drink specials, in addition to a sea of hot men, we rate Subline as a must visit spot.

Club Revenge

Type
LGBTQ Dance Club
Space
Bar, Lounge, Dance Club, and Performance Space
Crowd

Address
32-34 Old Steine, Brighton, BN1 1EL, United Kingdom
Website
Any Notes
Cash and cards accepted. The main floor is wheelchair accessible. Some shows offer stage access for anyone in a wheelchair so that they can enjoy the show.
Brief Description
Revenge is an epic night club that's split up over three different floors. One of the city's longest-running LGBTQ hookup clubs, is also one of the city's most popular spots to party at on Pride Weekend, so we suggest if you're going to be visiting for Pride, making a reservation well in advance. Various themed nights fill the club's calendar, with nights like Bangers & Trash, Lip Sync For Your Life, and their popular Powder Room Presents drag queen shows.
