Brighton's nightlife can very roughly be divided into three geographical areas; the seafront, which is conveniently removed from any close neighbours and has several clubs in the old arches; the Lanes and North Laine areas, where there is more variety and most clubs and bars appeal to a larger audience; and Kemp Town, which is also very diverse but with a stronger fringe touch and sense of bohemian abandon.
There are plenty of good bars and pubs in Brighton. Koba Bar, 135 Western Road; The Dorset, 28 North Road; and Brighton Rocks, 6 Rock Place, in Kemp Town are all recommended.
Of Brighton's clubs, Concorde 2, Madeira Drive (website: www.concorde2.co.uk), is a famous music and dance club; Ocean Rooms, 1 Morley Street (website: www.oceanrooms.co.uk), is a stylish nightclub with action on three floors; and Audio, 10 Marine Parade (website: www.audiobrighton.com), is a trendy, sophisticated club with regular gigs in an intimate environment.
The live music scene in Brighton is also very good with many excellent venues. Concorde 2 (see above) is very popular as a rock venue. The Old Market, Upper Market Street (website: www.theoldmarket.co.uk), in Hove is good for folk music. Both Komedia, 44 Gardner Street (website: www.komedia.co.uk) and the Brighton Dome, Church Street (website: www.brighton-dome.org.uk) are great venues for a wide range of musical styles and genres.
