Brighton

[BoyWonder2]

The missus and I are off to Brighton on Thursday for the night having been last year.

Last time around, the weather was fantastic and we spent most of the day around the pier, but the weather isn't looking that clever this time around.

Has anybody on here got any suggestions as to what we can do to try and avoid the bad weather whilst we are down there. Looking at the aquarium, and no doubt the missus will want to do shopping but is there any other places we could/should have a look at?

Also, any suggestions for good Chinese restaurants and also bars for some beers/cocktails and to dance the night away in?

Any suggestions much appreciated.

I understand there is a Choccywoccydoodah cafe now, friends of mine were down there last week and they pronounced this as fantastic! DTS is probably your best man to answer.

Brighton pier is bloody awful.

The electric train that runs along the sea front was the first in Britain. If you like a wild place to walk, Birling Gap is just a few miles away.

If you like flying bottle pubs and the smell of cheap fried food by all means go to Brighton pier.


I can recommend Drakes hotel and restaurant. Not cheap but very nice.....

The only place to eat chinese in Brighton is Gars

http://www.gars.co.uk/

Me and the chaps go in there every few months and we have our lads/wags annual bash there every year. It is not cheap but literally the best chinese ever.

If you need any other tips let me know as I live ten miles north of Brighton. As Mad Cyril said Drakes is lovely. A lot of people locally raving about meatliquor but I have never been personally.

Must be 20 miles away and would take the best part of an hour actually along a slow coastal road.

Assuming the Brighton one is the same as other Meatliqour locations - good burgers but not much fun if you enjoy listening to what your dinner companion is saying. Or if you like being able to read the menu.

Funnily enough, Gars is one I found online so thanks for that, will have to check that one out.

Any suggestions for watering holes to have a beer or three and dance the night away?

Had a look at that online, and will definitely try and find that.

Thanks for the heads up :thumbsup:

I cannot help with clubs as I dont think any of the ones I could recommend are still standing.

Drinks wise avoid West Street. I personally would aim for the North Lanes. Loads of funky, Brighton type pubs down there.

Office is always decent - http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restau...-The_Office-Brighton_East_Sussex_England.html

If you want a little know tip for food try this place. http://www.pompoko.co.uk/

dirt cheap cash only. Food is amazing literally best place to eat locally. Its a bit basic so dont go there if your looking to impress but food will blow you away.
