About this place The Basement

The Basement is the after‑hours club tucked beneath Legends, the gay hotel and bar at 35 Marine Parade on Brighton’s seafront. When the upstairs bar shuts, most of the crowd drifts down to The Basement, where DJs spin until the early morning. Older listings advertised free entry and drink specials, but those terms aren’t guaranteed any more. Legends lists The Basement as open Friday through Sunday, from 10 p.m. until whenever the music stops. Google shows only a handful of reviews, so the nightly roster can be hit‑or‑miss. The safest bet is to check Legends’ own social feeds for the current line‑up before you set your night in motion.

Legends Bar and Hotel has a The Basement Club downstairs which is arguably one of the best dance clubs in Brighton for a good mixed gay crowd (mostly gay) Great atmosphere, good DJ’s and a fantastic lighting show. Open from 11pm to around 3pm Drinks reasonably priced for Brighton. Bar staff quick to serve. Above is legends bar which has a very good singer drag act between around 7pm to 11pm. Great friendly crowd and guaranteed a good night out.
