Have booked hotel in Brighton for girls' weekend! Who can give me lowdown on the night hotspots?

[dinny]

Bars, restaurants, clubs, please. Going for a Friday/Saturday break with two girlfriends and looking for nice place for dinner on the Friday and bars/dancing on the Sat. Ta, Dinny

where did you book in the end dinny?

Havana restaurant on duke st is lovely- but expensive.

fab food though.

is it the 17th of Feb?? if so us Brighton lot are (hopefully) meeting too, maybe we could say hello

WWW - booked Hotl Una in the end. Was going to bok Hotel du in but as it's 3 of us going it was going to work out at over £700 for two nights. Hotel du Vin recommended this place as a more...economical choice! hope it's ok!

thanks for the tips! is Havana very meaty, Tiredemma?

Fatty, no, it's not 17th of Feb, it's not till March. have fun!

what do you mean meaty? does it have meat on the menu?? ( sorry if im dense!!!)

if you fancy veggie food try Terre a Terre. It's the business.

Mt favourite restaurants are Gingerman, and Due South which is right down on the seafront overlooking the old pier. Favourite drinking hole for a posh night out (not that I get many of those nowadays!)is Koba.

yeah, Tiredemma

If you fancy a bit of salsa try Babylon. Not sure how good it is anymore though. Sadly it's no longer in its heyday! But worth going along for a class and a dance!

no reccomendations..as i can't remember where i went, but i had my hen night in brighton and it was brilliant... have a fantastic time

any more ideas, please...?

Agree with other posters
Terre a Terre
Due South
The Gingerman plus
Drakes

Dinny- are you vegetarian?

Agree- have been looking for a good reaturant for myself when we go in MAy and keep seeing rave reviews for Due South.

must say- this place is fab for brekkie- but you must get there early!!
bills cafe

cant remember any bars I went to ( was v.v. drunk) but can vaguely remember some dodgy nightclub that stank of feet. Best to give that one a miss perhaps!

lol, cheesy feet, mmmmm

yes, don't eat meat, but friends going with do.

Ooh bill's defintely how could I have forgotten that?-more of a brunch/lunch place than dinner.

bills and due south are v good. Gars is good foir Chinese, Indian Summer is good for curry. Casa don Carlos is fab for tapas. There are also some good restuarants, bars in the marina - Karma is a good club. The Sky bar in Bton is good for cocktails and drinks. Zizi is good Italian.

Hotel Du Vin has a fab restaurant.
Last time we went to Havana it was terrible, service was terribly slow and the food came out cold and steak overcooked. We moaned like mad and got a free bottle of wine though!
Agree with the others re Terre a Terre.

Also Blanche house does great food.

Jim Thompsons is fun with big wooden willy's everywhere!

any other recommendations for dinner (NOT veggie as two friends want meat! but I want veggie!)

we're off next weekend, can't wait!

oh, and not TOO pricey, kind of mid-range price

Can recommend Mamas Cherry's Soul Food for fab caribbean food. Well priced. All food is put into middle to share. It was on Gordon Ramsey about a year ago and he loved her cooking. You can book.

oh, uyes, Secondhandrose - cvheers for that!

Lockets - hiya! still not finished bfing (gggrrr) will have huge bazookas all wkd no doubt!

My dp and his colleagues went to mama cherrys and it was dreadful!It has a bit of a reputation for frozen fried stuff but may have improved

NH, did your DP go pre and post Gordon Ramsey? We loved it, all very rustic and cosy, certainly not a place to dress up for. Mind you saying that I think there are two restaurants now and we were in the original.
