Bar...	Barley Mow, St Georges Rd Fab food and a great space out back (not recommended when it's raining though!)
	The Star Inn Friendly and very bear-y every day of the week. Great for popping in for a swift half on a crawl but wouldn't spent the entire evening there either.
	Bulldog An eternal feature on the Brighton scene. Best discovered undercover of night.
Café...	Starbucks Yeah alright already I know it's nasty corporate blah blah but I like their lattes so there.
Club...	Wild Fruit Brighton's biggest and best gay night and club promoter. Far as I'm concerned, the Wild Fruit gang hit the nail pretty much on the head every time: the monthly Creation parties, Monkey, Cash Queen and the WF tent at Pride. Gorgeous.
	Monkey Occasional proper party night for the more discerning gay clubber. It's here... then it goes again... then it comes back... Catch it when (if) you can!
	Profile, London At last - a funky gay club in Soho that's NOT the Shadow Lounge. Great DJs, nice vibe, not for the claustrophobic among us.
Restaurant...	Sopar Thai Very friendly neighbourhood Thai at the start of St Georges Rd in Kemptown. Great food and fantastic service.
Service...	David Lloyd Club Okay so it's not as friendly as Riptide was but I do LOVE being able to swim in the middle of winter.
Things To Do...	Brighton Pier Sorry but even if you live in Brighton, the Pier's always a fun place to spend a rainy Sunday afternoon with a hangover. Especially nice treat when you've got mates down, and you can always head up to the gay strip afterwards.
	Seafront cycle paths Love ringing my bell at all the daytrippers as I speed along the seafront - you can go all the way from Madeira Drive into deepest darkest Hove without coming across a single car. Brilliant.
	Eastbourne on a Sunday So totally, extremely different from Brighton in every single way (apart from the shingle) but lovely for a day-trip when you're not bothered about doing "the usual".
