Charles Street Bar has become a focal point for the scene in Brighton for the young gay crowd and their friends for over five years.

A bar, cafe and restaurant the layout and decor is contemporary with an abundance of flat panel screens bedecking the walls to provide music video.

Food is served throughout the day into early evening and is a popular eatery with a menu ranging from light bites, platters to share and complete three-course meals, through to the popular Sunday roasts.

As evening draws in, the ambience changes to a pre-club feel and is busy on Fridays and Saturdays, as well as their infamous Bar 150 nights on a Monday and Mad Cow £1/1.25 drinks nights on a Thursday.

On warm balmy days and nights, there is also a terrace outside, where you can drink in more continental surroundings.

Watch out for special events, when the bar is linked with Envy (Charles Street Club) upstairs for a two-floor experience.
