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.
