deecie Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 It's actually really good, even for a breeder like yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AberdeenAngus Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Did a day trip last year. Nice place - quite 'bohemian' feel to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joecraigfanclub Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Great place, good bars, great eats, wide variety of things to do. If you are into real ale i would recommend the Ginger Dog or the Heart in Hand though the latter is tiny. Both a wee walk out of the centre but worth to for the grub at the GD. Dermot O'Leary's fish place is also good in the Lanes. Also ate in a sushi bar called Mushi Mushi which was excellent. Lived there for a year and loved it.

neilser Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Agreed - good vibe to the place, especially in summer. Have been on a few day trips through with mrs neilser and our young son a few years back when in London for a summer holiday - nice to get out at the station and smell the sea air. Big pebble beach with lots of restaurants, cafes and bars on the beach itself. There's also a pier that's still in use. Like Aberdeen Angus says it's got a bohemian feel to it - the Lanes area close to the beach is worth a wander round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huddersfield Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I've been a few times, mainly for football but usually try to take in the seafront or do an overnighter if I get the chance. I think it's a love it or hate it sort of place. The significant gay scene there does give it a different 'vibe' to many places you'd visit & there's no shortage of trendy bars & restaurants. It's easy to get stung for highly expensive exotic beers (by which I mean it happened to me once...14 effing quid for some fancy bottle) so check menu prices especially at the sea front bars. The countryside round & about is nice to drive through & Lewes nearby has a couple of decent pubs in the town as do some of the little villages in the area.

Brummie Hibs Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Its got more gays than Scotland, but a great place and I would consider living there. A good night out. In the summer it is bliss, in the winter...erm.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotts56 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I like it too, a great wee city. Would much rather go there for a day/night out than London. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Endell Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Brilliant city - the Lanes / Laines are superb for a wander, with some cracking boozers. One of my favourite racecourses as well with cracking views over the Channel and the city itself. Also home to the greatest gentlemen's outfitters anywhere - http://www.jumpthegun.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exglasgowasc Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Used to live and work in Brighton in 1986 before it became the gay capital of the world. Been back many times since and it really is a fantastic place (especially if you get the weather). Last time I was there was for the Scotland game at Craven Cottage. Stayed there rather than London. Some superb eating places and fantastic boozers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
min Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 We decided to have a Friday night stopover there en route to Faro in October. Never been, so looking forward to it. Surprised how close it is to Gatwick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandydunn Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 Should've maybe said its a stagger were on,not that it should make much difference. Problems of groups getting into places? Doing the dog racing on the Saturday,never done that,so looking forward to it. Thanks for replies so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joecraigfanclub Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 You might struggle in that case. Lot of places don't welcome stag parties as I found out on one but that was nearly 20 years ago. The dogs is a great night though it can get Baltic. If you reserve a table you might be able to get waitress service for food drinks and bets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekfaejapan Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I lived there for two years and loved it. Be careful what bars you walk into though, you might get your arse felt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandydunn Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 Decent place here. Difficult getting into places in Friday,but last night we all got Into a place called funfair,where not a single was given by the staff and we were allowed to run riot until about 5am. It even had a ball pit,for some bizarre reason!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
