2 Best Nightlife in The Southeast, England

Open throughout the day as an upscale café-bar, Bohemia Brighton really comes to life after dark. Its Champagne Late Lounge has great cocktails and live DJs every Saturday night, while the roof terrace is ideal for warm seaside evenings. The venue also offers one-hour cocktail masterclasses on request; it's £35 per person for a group of up to eight, with a welcome drink and three cocktails included.

One of Brighton's foremost venues, in an art deco building east of Brighton Pier, Patterns is the latest incarnation of a string of popular nightclubs that have occupied this spot. Expect to hear live acts during the week, including a regular local slot (this being Brighton, the quality is generally quite high) and techno and house on the weekend. You can also come during the day on Saturday for a bottomless brunch.
