What reviewers say

Many visitors praise Patterns for its accommodating staff, particularly for events and celebrations, and enjoy the value of their bottomless brunch offerings with unlimited pizza and drinks. However, some reviewers mention slow bar service, even when not busy, and one reviewer reported a negative experience with rude staff and feeling overpriced compared to other local venues. There are also concerning reports of drinks being spiked and issues with the venue being closed unexpectedly despite bookings.

About this place Patterns

Patterns is a club and bar on Marine Parade, on the seafront just east of the Palace Pier. It is a mainstream venue that is gay-friendly, not a gay club. The programme leans towards electronic music and DJ nights, with some queer-run parties alongside. The club opens on Friday and Saturday from 22:00 to 04:00, at mid-range prices. Kemptown, Brighton's gay village, starts a few minutes' walk east along St James's Street. Check the website for the night's lineup; popular events sell out.

Asked my girls for a tampon so shared a toilet - was no signs on cubicles. Got kicked out for too many in a toilet despite us saying there was no warning - none of us do drugs and volunteered to be searched. Treated with nothing but rudeness from all bouncers.
