Saturday Nights at the Black Lion

Saturday Nights at the Black Lion is the new regular club night at The Black Lion, and it's running every Saturday from 22:00 until 03:00. The venue bills it as their new go-to Saturday night soundtrack, and the description gives a fair idea of what to expect: deep basslines, sing-along tunes, and a packed dancefloor that keeps going well into the early hours. It's a late-night spot, so it's more of a dancefloor than a seated gig.

The Black Lion itself is a Brighton institution, tucked away in the heart of the Lanes at 14 Black Lion Street, just a block from the beach. It's the kind of pub that's known for being as laid back as it can be raucous, and it's favoured by clued-up locals and visitors alike. Having it right in the Lanes makes it an easy one to drop into if you're already out in town.

Because it's a regular night, you don't have to time it perfectly — it runs every Saturday, so if you miss one weekend, there's another one waiting the next. The music starts at 22:00 and carries on until 03:00, which gives you plenty of room to settle in before the dancefloor really fills up. Admission is free, so you can just turn up when you're ready.
